Overview

• Thousands of protesters rallied in over 1,000 events nationwide, including major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., as well as traditionally pro-Trump small towns.
• Demonstrators criticized the Trump administration for defunding education, privatizing public services, undermining unions, and targeting immigrant communities.
• Legal professionals held a National Law Day of Action at federal courthouses to advocate for judicial independence and counter perceived executive overreach.
• The protests reflect mounting opposition to President Trump’s agenda, as his approval rating falls to a record-low 43% among modern presidents at this stage of their term.
• Organized by coalitions like May Day Strong and the 50501 movement, the events showcased a broad coalition of labor unions, immigrant rights groups, faith communities, and advocacy organizations.
