Washington — Demonstrators gathered in U.S. cities on Friday, May 1, for coordinated May Day protests calling for higher wages, stronger worker protections and changes to federal policies. Labor unions, immigrant-rights groups and community organizations organized marches and rallies under themes such as "Workers Over Billionaires" and promoted some local boycott actions. Los Angeles and Manhattan held local events: in Los Angeles organizers scheduled a march from MacArthur Park at approximately 10 a.m. with a route into downtown, while Manhattan organizers emphasized historic labor victories and ongoing concerns about high living costs, healthcare and housing, urging continued civic engagement and follow-up advocacy.
