Description:

Protesters are taking to the streets in cities and towns around the U.S. during “May Day Strong” events Friday in honor of International Workers’ Day.

A coalition of hundreds of organizations is calling for a day of economic blackout with “no school, no work, no shopping” to demand “a nation that puts workers over billionaires,” a website for the event reads. Walkouts, marches, and other events have been planned to take place across the country, a number of which were underway by Friday afternoon.
