Per Noem: “Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom – not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars....”

Let’s Check the Facts:

• Our European forefathers stole the land on which they built this nation from the indigenous people, slaughtered them, and pillaged their villages.

• Immigrants in the U.S. have a beneficial effect on our economy and their expulsion will hurt us all.

According to the conservative Cato Institute:

• For each year from 1994 to 2023, the US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government.

• Over that period, immigrants created a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 US dollars, including $3.9 trillion in savings on interest on the debt.

• Without immigrants, US government public debt at all levels would be at least 205 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)—nearly twice its 2023 level.

• These results, which do not account for any of immigration’s indirect, tax-revenue-boosting effects

on economic growth, represent the lower bound of the positive fiscal effects. Even by this conservative analysis, immigrants may have already prevented a fiscal crisis.

Orleans Village Green

Main Street and Rt 28

Sponsored by Indivisible Outer Cape, Nauset Citizens, Lower Cape Indivisible

No Parking at the Library, Please.

May Day has long been International Workers Day, and this year will mark a national day of action in support of Workers Over Billionaires!

The organizers are calling for a national boycott of work, school and shopping to show the might of the people to inflict economic harm on the ruling billionaire class – which the Trump regime has made bigger, richer and more corrupt. Income inequality is getting worse, and America is becoming an Oligarchy!

The specific demands for this national day of action are:

• Tax the Rich

• No ICE/No War

• Fair Elections

We know not everyone can skip work or school, but if you can, DO! Also, if you MUST shop, shop only locally that day and boycott Amazon, Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, Citizens Bank and Bank of America permanently!

Join us in solidarity in Orleans from 4:00 to 5:30 on May 1. We’ll be marching from the Village Green to Main Street and back. Bring your signs:

• Workers Over Billionaires!

• Corporations Are Not People!

• Shop Local!

• People Over Profits!

• When We Unite We Win!

• Tax the Rich!

It could literally take as little as 2 minutes and needs to be done by Monday, 5/18 which is when the MA Senate will be deciding on the 2027 budget. By submitting the linked form, you would help advocate for amendments to the state budget related to higher ed, dignified retirement, and K-12 school funding amid the MA fiscal crisis.

And if you could, please share the link widely. Remember, this action can be completed by any Massachusetts voter!
