The annual manifestations of May proclaim the cause of workers in the United States and worldwide. But this year, the demonstrations in the United States supercharged with the amplitude of the Anti-Trump movement, as the protest continued to grow over the president’s agenda and the expansion of the Executive Power.
Protesters denounced the administration’s effort to go back the rights of workers, a particular place of pain in a day dedicated to celebrating organized work, as well as plans to reduce educational funds and carry out mass deportations.
“We are here to support our workers and our union,” said Jena Olsen, a 63 -year -old girl who has worked as a hostess for 39 years, in a great concentration in the Union Park of Chicago. But the protesters said they were also angry at the “threat to democracy” represented by President Trump.
For that reason, this May was different, said Yvonne Wheeler, president of the Los Angeles County Work Federation.
“The workers are under attack; immigrants are under attack,” Wheeler said, after heading to a densely full of thousands in downtown Los Angeles. “There are chaos and confusion every day.”
Behind her, the sound of beating the battery and the sounds sound with cheers that exalt the work and rights of immigrants who deliver comments from the back of a modified truck.
A variety of flags (American flags, flags from several Latin American countries and pride flags) hovered on an equally diverse sea. The workers held signs and banana banners with the acronyms of their respective unions.
Similar scenes developed throughout the country, since the police closed the streets for crowds in the main cities, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington.
But the protesters also joined in small communities who voted with President Trump, including Norman, Okla.; Sauk City, Wis.; And Hendersonville groups, NC had posters in front of municipal buildings and public schools, and some protesters married to indicate their support for public education.
A demonstration in Los Angeles, early in Thorsday and largely focused on the rights of migrants, who also represent the ranks of the workers.
José Servín, 31, organizer of a state coalition of defense groups that helped prepare for the rally, maintained a sign that said: “Come for one of us, come for all of us.”
Mr. Serbin emigrated to the United States as a child, he said. “I found a place here where I can succeed, where I can prosper, where I can plant roots, now I am a father, and I will fight like hell to protect that,” he said.
A separate effort, which the organizers announced as a day of action of the National Law, brought on Thursday the legal professionals to the Supreme Court in Washington and the federal courts of the courts to promote Trumpende companies.
The lawyers who were demonstrated in the Supreme Court reaffirmed their oaths to serve with integrity and protect the rule of law, principles that do not seem to interest Mr. Trump, said Fabiola Gretzinger, 28.
The protests of more than 1,000 were expected throughout the country were not planned to coincide with the labor demonstrations of the traditional May day in 50501, a loose coalition of basic activist groups, as well as with the labor organization, non -profit and civil purposes. On May the fight for an eight -hour workday, which was won by the labor organizers in 1886 only after the clashes in Chicago resulted in the mortal disturbances of Haymarket.
The Trump administration has tried to suffocate dissent in corporate America, universities, government agencies and the media. But in recent weeks, the demonstrations that oppose the president’s agenda, as well as the resistance of some of the institutions led by Mr. Trump, have increased in size and frequency.
Labor groups constituted a significant portion of the protesters in the Rally in Chicago on Thursday, they thought that pro-Palestinian activists and Anti-Trump protesters increased their ranks, and many saw their concerns as superimposed.
“He is disarming our Constitution,” said Bill Fanks, 40, an official of the Chicago suburb or Oak Forest Suburb, who criticized Trump for the officials of dismissal of agencies that regulate security in the workplace, even in the National Board of Labor Relations. A name that was pronounced and written through Signs Hero by protesters from all over the country on Thursday was Kilmar Armando Abrego García, the man of Maryland who was wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador.
Mr. Abrego García’s wife, Jennifer Vásquez, spoke with several thousand people at a rally at Lafayette Square in Washington. “My husband was illegally arrested, kidnapped and missing, lying on one of the most dangerous prisons of El Salvador without due process because or error,” he said.
“Stop playing political games with my husband’s life,” Vásquez said.
Listening in the crowd there were other immigrants from Central and South America, including those who knew people who had recently deported.
“Help our undocumented community,” said Nelly Bautista-Hernández, an immigrant rights organizer who twisted their young children to come to the demonstration. “Marcheo for all those who are not here.”
Prominent politicians also joined protesters in some events.
In New York City, the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat, implored the attendees to keep the legislators of the Republican party the pressure on the legislators of the Republican party that was seen during the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency.
She appeared in Foley Square in Manhattan with news: a vote of the Republicans of the House of Representatives about the future of Medicaid had been delayed.
“Medicaid cuts of next week have been stopped and suspended, because they are scared too much,” said Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez. “You see you, New York, see the meeting.”
In Philadelphia, after a speech by Bernie Sanders, Vermont’s independent senator, the diseases of the protesters blocked their arms and sat at an intersection near a road ticket for about 30 minutes before the police advanced to judge.
“We will not be moved,” they sang.
