as posted by the channelSupport our work
Organizers across the United States are planning a massive day of May Day protests against the Trump administration. Organizers say that they have broad support from groups targeted by the administration, including immigrants, federal workers and more. "Instead of attacking only one community … they are attacking everybody at the same time, and that enabled us to gather a really broad coalition," says Jorge Mújica, strategic organizer for Arise Chicago. In New York, organizers are calling on people to march alongside them in Foley Square. "We need to fight this corporate takeover," says Nisha Tabassum, lead organizer for worker issues at Make the Road New York. "We are the many; they are the few." Los Angeles organizers are expecting hundreds of thousands of protesters to join them in opposition to Trump's policies. "We are taking our power back," says Georgia Flowers Lee, National Education Association vice president for United Teachers Los Angeles.
