Thousands Protest Trump, Billionaires in Nationwide Labor Day Rallies

On Labor Day 2025, thousands of Americans participated in the nationwide 'Workers Over Billionaires' protests, organized by coalitions including the AFL-CIO and May Day Strong, to express opposition to economic inequality and the Trump administration's policies. Demonstrations took place in numerous cities such as South Bend, Chicago, Albuquerque, Jacksonville, and many others, focusing on issues like billionaire influence, government cuts to education, healthcare, and housing, and demands for better worker protections and immigrant rights. Protesters criticized President Trump's administration for favoring the wealthy elite and corporations, with some rallies specifically opposing federal law enforcement surges or highlighting tech companies benefiting from federal contracts. Despite the widespread discontent, the White House defended President Trump's record, asserting his commitment to American workers. The movement emphasized solidarity among working-class Americans and called for greater government accountability to represent all citizens rather than just the rich. The peaceful protests featured a diverse group of participants, including veterans, educators, and community activists, united in their call for economic justice and democratic representation.
