Kickstarter United Virtual Rally for a Fair Contract!

WHAT: Kickstarter United Virtual Rally

WHEN: Friday, September 5, 2025 @ 5pm EST

WHERE: Zoom


We’re fighting for a fair contract at Kickstarter. We want to codify the four-day, 32-hour workweek, raise the minimum salary, and protect workers from being replaced by contractors or AI tools. Stand with Kickstarter United at our public virtual rally.

What you’ll hear

  • Unionized tech workers who’ve gone on strike and elected representatives who support a 32-hour week.

  • Kickstarter United members discussing our strike, our demands, and our union.

Featured speakers and supporters

  • The New York Times Tech Guild: John Cruickshank and Kait Hoehne, leaders in last year’s groundbreaking strike.

  • Alphabet Workers Union: Parul Koul, president, sharing organizing lessons from big tech.

  • New York State Assembly: Emily Gallagher and Phara Souffrant Forrest, sponsors of 32-hour week legislation.

  • Seattle: Kshama Sawant, former City Council member and current candidate for the United States Congress, advocating a 30-hour week and a $25 per hour minimum wage.

Why it matters

This rally builds community support and shows management that workers, creators, and backers are united behind a fair contract. Your presence helps ensure our voices are heard.

Top Demands We’re Rallying For

  • A company-wide minimum salary.

  • Protections against AI and contractor replacement of our roles.

  • Codifying the four-day (32-hour) workweek we've worked under for more than three years.
