From Tokyo to Turin to LA, Trump’s policies loom over May Day marches
By YURI KAGEYAMA and THOMAS ADAMSON, May 1, 2025
PARIS (AP) — "French union leaders condemned the “#Trumpization” of world politics, while in Italy, #MayDay protesters paraded a puppet of the American president through the streets of Turin.
"Across continents, tens of thousands turned out for Thursday’s rallies marking International Workers’ Day, many citing President Donald Trump’s agenda — from aggressive tariffs spurring fears of global economic turmoil to immigration crackdowns — as a central concern.
"In the United States, organizers said this year’s protests aimed to push back against efforts to roll back protections for immigrants, federal workers and diversity initiatives.
"In #Germany, union leaders warned that extended workdays and rising #AntiImmigrant sentiment were dismantling labor protections. And in Bern, #Switzerland, thousands marched behind banners denouncing #fascism and war — part of a wider backlash against the global surge of #HardRight politics.
"In #Taiwan, President Lai Ching-te referenced new U.S. tariffs under Trump as he promoted a proposed spending bill aimed at stabilizing the job market and supporting livelihoods. In the #Philippines, protest leader Mong Palatino warned that 'tariff wars and policies of Trump' threatened local industries.
"In #Japan, Trump’s image loomed over the day quite literally, as a truck in the Tokyo march carried a doll made to resemble him. There, participants’ demands ranged from higher wages and gender equality to health care, disaster relief, a ceasefire in #Gaza and an end to #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine.
" 'For our children to be able to live with hope, the rights of #workers must be recognized,' said Junko Kuramochi, a member of a mothers’ group in Tokyo."
May Day demonstrations in US and around the globe protest Trump agenda
Hundreds of thousands of people rallied in U.S. cities and around the globe for International Workers’ Day or May Day, with the focus this year on President Donald Trump’s agenda. In the United States, demonstrators on Thursday protested Trump’s approach targeting immigrants, federal workers and diversity initiatives. Global protests largely emphasized Trump's tariffs, their impact on local jobs and the rise of the far-right. French union leaders condemned what they called the “Trumpization” of world politics and said their demonstrations were fueled by anger over U.S. military and trade influence in Europe. In Germany, union leaders warned that extended workdays and rising anti-immigrant sentiment were dismantling labor protections.

May Day - Union Strong · Mobilize
Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up for a good living. **We are demanding a country that puts our families first**—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness. Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices. **May Day 2025 we are standing united.** Unions bring not just fair working conditions, but also real democracy for all —regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status. Unions, and the principles of solidarity, together with other movements for liberation have built this country and have backed the best parts of our country. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong. This May Day, we will turn the page. In Eastern Maine a major fight for unions is for the University of Maine Graduate Workers Union to gain a fair first contract. Then we will have a discussion about building unions and our democracy. STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. STAND WITH WORKERS AND OUR UNIONS THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US. Hosted by the University of Maine Graduate Workers Union - UAW, Eastern Maine Labor Council (AFL-CIO), Food AND Medicine, and the Maine Education Association.
