On Thursday, over 1,000 cities and towns are expected to see protests against President Trump's plans to cut education funding, rollback workers' rights, and implement mass deportations. Spearheaded by a coalition called 50501, these protests will align with traditional May Day demonstrations organized by labor groups. Major cities like New York and Chicago anticipate large crowds, with notable speeches such as Senator Bernie Sanders in Philadelphia. Organizers aim to demonstrate solidarity with public education, and recent weeks have shown a rise in dissent against the Trump administration, affecting corporate America and universities.
In recent weeks, demonstrations opposing Mr. Trump's agenda, governing style and expansion of executive power have increased in size and frequency.
The protests, spearheaded by 50501, a loose coalition of grass-roots activist groups, will coincide with traditional May Day demonstrations by labor organizations.
