Canby: Workers Over Billionaires

This a local Indivisible event! Workers deserve more than simply enough to survive. They deserve the opportunity to build secure lives, support their families, own homes, enjoy time with the people they love, and benefit from the prosperity they help create. This is not a call to divide people against one another. It is a call to recognize the dignity and power of work. A healthy economy should not measure success only by how much wealth can accumulate at the top. It should also ask whether the people doing the work are able to share in the progress they make possible. The future can be different. When workers have a stronger voice, fair wages, meaningful benefits, opportunities to advance, and a genuine share in the success of the organizations they build, everyone can benefit. The greatest resource any society has is not a billionaire’s bank account. It is the knowledge, effort, imagination, and determination of its people. Workers create value every day. They deserve to share in the future they create. *A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
