SUMMARY: Thousands of protestors are set to gather nationwide on May Day to oppose the Trump administration’s policies, just days after President Trump’s 100th day in office. Demonstrators argue that Trump’s actions, including federal layoffs and cuts under the Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk, harm the working class. The 50501 organization, coordinating rallies across states like Arizona and New York, condemns efforts to erase labor rights, silence immigrant voices, and break unions. Protest focuses include divesting from Musk’s Tesla, protecting diversity programs, and supporting labor unions.
