May Day demonstrations held in Chicago and across nation

CHICAGO — May Day demonstrations have kicked off in Chicago and nationwide Thursday.

May Day, celebrated annually on May 1, is a day dedicated to international workers’ rights and marks the struggles and achievements of workers and the labor movement around the world.

The marches and protests are mainly focused on U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies and fears of global economic uncertainty.

The thousands of people attending rallies and demonstrations are calling for stronger protections for workers, higher wages, greater equality and more.

Organizers are hoping to send a strong message of workers rights to the Trump administration, many pointing a finger at President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), who has layed off thousands of government employees.
