Labor Day: Protesters anticipate protests on our workers and immigrant rights | U.S. News

Protesters are expected to rally nationwide on May 1, focusing on the latest round of demonstrations against Donald Trump and his administration.

Mayday commemorating International Workers' Day comes after two days of protests on April 5 – the April 5 rally and the April 19 Day of Action – attracting millions of dollars to streets across the country.

Organizers said the May 1 protests were supported by hundreds of organizations and will be held in nearly 1,000 cities. Since May 1 is a working day, turnout may be lower than the first two April protests, but thousands are expected to occur.

"This is a war against the working people and we will not stand down," said the National Day Action Day website. "They are allocating funds to our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. Staff have built this country and we know how to take care of each other. We won't back down - we will never stop fighting for our families and fighting for our families and freedoms that drive the lives and better lives of all Americans. Their time has risen."

Map of the Mayday protests shows that more than one rally was planned in several major metropolitan areas. The Los Angeles-based coalition of groups said they will start the day at an early morning rally and then conduct a plan and parade to show solidarity with the city’s workers and immigrants. In New York, protesting against the ISWA plan in the evening.

With Trump taking office for 100 days, full of cuts and burning periods of federal government and democratic norms, the scale has grown since February. People have started organizing more people to oppress Democrats to stand up more intensely against Trump.

Trump's recognition rating has dropped from positive to negative, with more people opposing him rather than approving it. When Trump fired many federal workers, the focus on workers and immigrants was on deportation, including those whose courts said they should not be deported, including his administration that increased deportation.

“Everyone deserves respect and dignity, no matter who they are, where they are born or what language they speak,” the May protest website said. “Immigration is workers, workers are immigrants. We fight for fair wages, safe workplaces and work dignity is a struggle to fight for immigration justice.”

Jorge Mújica, a strategic organizer of Chicago Arise, who was the organizer of the city's May protests, said in a democracy that "the Trump administration targeted many constituencies in the first 100 days," "the Trump administration completely misunderstood."

"They are attacking everyone at the same time, which allows us to build a very broad alliance with labor unions in unions, federal workers, students, universities and every other community, and hold this event on Mayday," Mujika said.
