On Labor Day Americans will show their support for unions by turning out in nationwide protests against the corrupt Trump regime's war on workers.
People will also be protesting other issues like the loss of health care, growing inflation, and other miseries Trump has brought to the country in his seven short months of squatting in the Oval Office.
Why it matters: The largest federation of labor unions in the U.S. is leading the movement, along with dozens of other groups.
- More than 1,000 events were scheduled as of Sunday.
State of play: The protests are being organized by the AFL-CIO and groups including Bargaining for the Common Good, the National Education Association, Indivisible, Working Families Party, MoveOn, American Federation of Teachers, Public Citizen and 50501.
- The May Day Strong coalition, which organized widespread anti-billionaire rallies on May 1, is also involved.
What they're saying: "This isn't just about policy — it's about building meaningful worker power to fight back and build a movement rooted in real life, led by real people," organizers said.
- "From warehouses to kitchens, from schools to streets — we are saying it loud, we are saying it proud: Workers over billionaires now!"
Zoom in: As part of this movement, thousands of restaurant workers are slated to protest in front of Trump Tower in New York City between 2 and 4pm ET on Monday.
- They will launch a "restaurant in the street" serving tacos to symbolize the popular acronym TACO, meaning "Trump Always Chickens Out."
- Here's a link to all the cities nationwide hosting protests. See if one is near you.
- As it Stands, it's a good day to show your support for American workers and letting Trump know how you feel about his administration.
