Over 1,000 Labor Day 'Workers Over Billionaires' protests took place across all 50 U.S. states on Monday, targeting U.S. President Donald Trump as well as the influence of other wealthy Americans over the administration's policies.

The demonstrations were organized by the AFL-CIO, a federation of 63 unions representing 15 million American workers, alongside other groups like May Day Strong, to show "the big corporations who we are and how we fight."

These protests represent the authentic voice of working-class America, which is under attack by this administration. Rather than prioritize basic needs, Trump and his lackeys prefer to dedicate resources to militarizing our cities and serving the interests of the billionaires. By protesting, these workers are striving to build the country they deserve.
