Protests called “Workers over Billionaires” are planned across the U.S. on Labor Day, targeting President Donald Trump and his administration.
Why It Matters
These demonstrations are the latest in a series of nationwide protests against the Trump administration.
Earlier this year, on June 14, millions joined the “No Kings” protests in cities nationwide while a military parade took place in Washington, D.C., celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary and coinciding with President Trump’s 79th birthday. More recently, “Rage Against the Regime” protests were held in hundreds of cities on August 2.

What People Are Saying
The May Day Strong website posted a statement:
“Labor and community are planning more than a barbecue on Labor Day this year because we have to stop the billionaire takeover. Billionaires are taking from working families, harming our democracy, and building private armies to attack our towns and cities.
Just like any bad boss, the way we stop the takeover is with collective action. We are May Day Strong—working people rising up to stop the billionaire takeover—not just through the ballot box or the courts, but by building a bigger and stronger movement. On September 1, we will continue the movement we launched on May 1. Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand on Labor Day.”
What’s Next
The protests are scheduled for September 1.
