On May 1, 2025, rallies across the U.S. will occur as part of a national day of action against President Donald Trump’s policies, uniting over 200 groups from 27 states. Jackson Potter of the Chicago Teachers Union states that these rallies aim to develop a working-class response to the crises caused by the Trump administration.
The National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers are among the organizers of the May Day events, which seek to address various social justice issues beyond labor rights. Organizers expect tens of thousands to join these rallies, demanding a country that prioritizes families over profits.
