Hundreds of thousands of people are planning nationwide protests on Labor Day, September 1, 2025, under the Workers Over Billionaires banner. More than 1,000 rallies and events are scheduled across all 50 states, including major cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Houston, New York City, and Columbus, Ohio, as well as territories including Guam. The actions are organized by May Day Strong in collaboration with labor unions, community organizations, women's rights groups, and advocacy organizations including MoveOn, Women's March, AFL-CIO, Communications Workers of America, Indivisible, the National Union of Healthcare Workers, and Public Citizen. The protests aim to oppose a perceived billionaire agenda that organizers say harms working families, weakens democracy, and arms private forces, and to build collective power beyond elections and courts.
The Workers Over Billionaires protests are scheduled for Monday, September 1, in collaboration with a number of labor unions, community organizations, women's rights groups, and concerned citizens, under the umbrella May Day Strong.

"Billionaires are stealing from working families, destroying our democracy, and building private armies to attack our towns and cities," according to the May Day Strong website. "Just like any bad boss, the way we stop the takeover is with collective action . . . 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."
