Thousands of people attended May Day protests across the country Thursday in response to the Trump administration’s controversial moves against immigrants and federal workers over its first 100 days.

The organizers have mentioned that all May Day actions will be based on nonviolence, with a clear message to de-escalate tensions and focus on unity. They state that this is not just a protest, but a community movement based on care, cooperation and mutual aid. The hashtag #MayDay2025 will be used throughout the event.
