“No School, No Work, No Shopping”: Workers, Immigrants to Lead Thousands of May Day Protests

As workers around the world rally to mark May Day, International Workers’ Day, we speak with organizers in Los Angeles and Chicago. The May Day Strong coalition here in the United States says 3,000 protests and events are scheduled across the country with organizers calling for “no school, no work, no shopping.” The largest May Day protest in Los Angeles is planned at MacArthur Park. Pedro Trujillo, the coordinator of the Los Angeles May Day Coalition, says the July presence of immigration agents with SWAT gear and armored vehicles in MacArthur Park laid the foundation for a high May Day turnout. “That’s why we see such a strong coalition coming together, over 120 organizations and unions here in Los Angeles endorsing this march. We haven’t seen this level of support, of engagement, in a very long time,” says Trujillo. “We are creating a coalition to resist the tyranny of billionaires in this moment,” adds Stacy Davis Gates, president of the Chicago Teachers Union and president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers. “Billionaires put a president in place to dismantle democracy, a right-wing Congress to watch it and a right-wing Supreme Court to block us from doing anything about it.”
