May Day rallies sweep US, demanding reforms for working-class rights

Approximately 500 labor groups across the United States have organized an economic blackout to mark May Day, with events planned in 40 cities. The initiative, called May Day Strong, calls for demands such as 'tax the rich' and abolishing ICE, in response to government policies prioritizing the ultra-wealthy. Organizers emphasize that these protests stem from a wide range of challenges facing American workers.
