On Thursday (May 1st), International Workers’ Day, Working People around the globe took action to stand up to the billionaires who are threatening our rights and freedoms. Here at home, MAGA/Republican President Donald Trump and Billionaire Elon Musk have slashed thousands of Union jobs, ripped up Union contracts, illegally targeted Workers from Immigrant communities, cut essential services and launched an attack on Workers’ fundamental freedom to organize for a better life. In New York City's Foley Square, Workers, Immigrants, tenants, parents, students, families and community members from across the five Boroughs came together in solidarity, joining a nationwide day of action to demand investment in the lives of Working People, not billionaires’ bank accounts. The rally featured voices from Federal Workers, Immigrant communities, Health Care and Civil Rights Advocates, and Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The resounding message that was sent: We Are the Many. They Are the Few. Demands included: Stop the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration; Stop the attack on workers’ rights, stop the mass layoffs of government workers; Stop the cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security, and other programs that lift up our communities; Fully fund schools, healthcare, and housing for all; and Defend due process for all and stop the mass deportations and illegal detentions. Following the rally, a crowd of thousands filled Broadway, turning the streets of Lower Manhattan into a vibrant procession as they marched downtown.
