Thousands Rally Nationwide for May Day, Oppose Trump Policies

On May Day, thousands across the United States rallied in major cities, including Princeton, Boston, Washington D.C., and St. Louis, to support workers' and immigrants' rights and protest President Donald Trump's policies. Demonstrators voiced concerns over federal job cuts, immigration raids, attacks on labor unions, and the targeting of immigrant families, framing these actions as a 'war on working people.' Labor leaders and activists highlighted the deep connection between immigrant and workers' rights, with many emphasizing solidarity and the importance of protecting vulnerable communities. Participants criticized the administration's efforts to weaken unions, privatize public services, and defund education, while also condemning mass deportations and increased immigration enforcement. Speakers at the rallies called for justice for detained and deported immigrants and remembered fallen workers. The events underscored a unified message: protecting labor and immigrant rights is essential for the nation's future.
