The Five Day Weekend

What a great idea. The major goal of the Five Day Weekend is simple: to reverse the workweek so that Americans clock in for two good days of work, followed by five well-earned days off.

Why? Because overwork has become a major problem for Americans, and it's getting worse by the year. The two-day weekend was created in 1930, and despite decades of unparalleled technology growth, people are actually working more and more each year.

Fivedayweekend.org believes overwork in America has become a soul-crushing epidemic, getting worse every year since the 1940s. They believe there's a way to break the trend, and they could use your help.

They're actually taking a Five Day Weekend petition to Congress in a month or so. Help them by signing the petition.
