Celebrating Independence on America’s 250th Birthday
To Our OPEIU Family:
Happy Fourth of July!
This weekend we celebrate our nation's founding as a democracy free from foreign rule and recommit ourselves to the vision of true freedom that spurred our founding revolution.
Americans continue to believe in the ideas that inspired our founders to fight for freedom from tyranny 250 years ago. But the fight must continue.
Despite the perseverance of this just vision, powerful forces in our country replicate the behaviors that spurred early Americans to action. Our government denies workers a voice through anti-union legislation. They launch wars around the world evoking our nation's shameful genocide of Native Americans. And they undermine democracy to further consolidate power and wealth for the elite.
As we enjoy this summer weekend and celebrate the optimism, diversity and innovation that make our country so special, let us recommit to the uncompromising resistance that made Independence Day possible in the first place.
In solidarity,
Team OPEIU
