"Enough Is Enough" - Anti-Trump Protesters Plan Mass Labor Day Demonstrations Across The U.S.
Khaleda Rahman at Newsweek reports protests against President Donald Trump and his Administration - billed as Workers Over Billionaires - are set to take place across the country on Labor Day. The protests are to be the latest nationwide demonstrations against the Trump Administration. Nearly 1,000 events are planned in all 50 States and Washington, D.C. and hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people could take to the streets across the country. Jackson Potter, the Vice President of the Chicago Teachers Union who is among the organizers, told Newsweek that organizer May Day Strong teamed up with the National AFL-CIO to "bring a Labor Day that's representative and reflective of best parts of our tradition." He said the day of action is aimed at "fighting against the oligarchs and challenging the militarization of our cities while Working People are falling further behind and billionaires are getting windfalls." A statement posted on the May Day Strong website says: Labor and community are planning more than a barbecue on Labor Day this year because we have to stop the billionaire takeover. Billionaires are stealing from Working Families, destroying 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 through building a bigger and stronger movement. On September 1st we will continue the movement we launched on May 1st. Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand on Labor Day, join us!
