Over 1,100 protests planned for May Day (Thurs)

The movement is growing rapidly! Now there are over 1,100 planned anti-tRump protests by workers across the US. Teachers, hospitals, labor unions, etc are joining hands to stop the sadistic "KING" further destruction of our democracy.

"May Day protesters to rally against "billionaire takeover" in Trump administration

On International Workers' Day Thursday, tens of thousands of protesters across the U.S. will rally against President Trump's "war on working people."

Why it matters: Protests against the Trump administration have built momentum as he faces sinking approval ratings and Americans increasingly witness the ramifications of his policies.

Thursday's events will include rallies, marches, town halls and other actions against the "billionaire takeover" of the federal government.

By the numbers: More than 70,000 protesters are expected nationwide, organizers said.

More than 1,100 protest events are scheduled in nearly 1,000 cities across all 50 states.
What they're saying: "This May Day we are fighting back," organizers' website said.

"We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes —public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, prosperity over free market politics."
State of play: This month's Hands Off! and 50501 protests marked significant, grassroots resistance to the Trump administration and Elon Musk's influence in the federal government.

The movements have shared motivations and end goals: fighting for the protections of immigrants and LGBTQ+ people; protecting Social Security and other safety net programs; retaining federal funding for public education; and upending government corruption.
Zoom in: A virtual rally will be held at 8pm ET on Tuesday with representatives of the Working Families Party, Center for Popular Democracy and American Federation of Teachers."
