Politics,Protests,Donald Trump,Labor Day
Protests against President Donald Trump and his administration—billed as "Workers Over Billionaires"—are set to take place across the country on Labor Day.
Jackson Potter, the vice president of the Chicago Teachers Union who is among the organizers, told Newsweek that organizer May Day Strong teamed up with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) to "bring a Labor Day that's representative and reflective of best parts of our tradition."
He said the day of action is aimed at "fighting against the oligarchs and challenging the militarization of our cities while working people are falling further behind and billionaires are getting windfalls."
