Hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. and around the world rallied Thursday in May Day protests that united many in anger over President Donald Trump’s agenda from aggressive tariffs that are stoking fears of global economic turmoil to his administration’s immigration crackdowns.
In the United States, organizers framed this year’s International Workers’ Day protests as a pushback against what they see as the administration’s sweeping assault on labor protections, diversity initiatives and federal employees. Protesters lined streets in many cities from New York to Philadelphia to Los Angeles and held a boisterous rally outside the White House in Washington.
Wonderful post. Thanks. I use 5calls as it makes me anxious to make these types of calls. The format and guide help immensely. I mostly get the voicemail, but on occasion I get an empathetic intern (D).
Cory Booker gets kudos after his speech and I applauded him for it. Unfortunately, he voted against limiting arms sales to Israel shortly thereafter. That earns him condemnation. Two calls.
I keep calling my reps and encouraging them to publicly stand up to this regime. I’ve now incorporated my governor into the call rotation, too. I really struggle with the business as usual approach being shown and desire more. We need more from our representatives (D or R). Please call and tell them so.
