On Labor Day 2025, cities across the United States witnessed significant protests in response to President Donald Trump's policies. Demonstrations were organized by One Fair Wage, aiming to highlight the challenges faced by workers in the U.S., where the federal minimum wage remains at $7.25 an hour. In Chicago, protesters gathered outside a Trump Tower, chanting "No National Guard" and "Lock him up!" In New York, outside the president's former residence, chants of "Trump must go now!" echoed through the streets. These protests were part of a broader movement advocating for workers' rights and fair wages.
In Washington D.C., a large crowd assembled with signs reading "Stop the ICE invasion" and an umbrella painted with "Free D.C. No masked thugs." Similar rallies took place along the West Coast, from San Diego to Seattle, where hundreds gathered to call for an end to what they termed the "billionaire takeover." Protesters expressed concerns over issues such as low wages, stagnant economy, and anti-migrant sentiments. The demonstrations underscored the growing public dissatisfaction with the administration's approach to labor and immigration policies.
