Tens of thousands are expected to join nationwide demonstrations this Labor Day, with labor unions and activists rallying against former President Donald Trump and the billionaires who support him.

Workers Over Billionaires Movement

More than 1,000 “Workers Over Billionaires” events are planned across large cities and small towns, organizers said. The effort aims to highlight working-class power and push back against what activists describe as the “Trump-billionaire agenda.”

Nationwide Events

The protests vary by community — from marches and rallies to family-friendly festivals and barbecues. In Madison, Wisconsin, Labor Fest 2025 will feature live music, food trucks, and school supply drives. In Shoreline, Washington, organizers are planning a march and Back-to-School event. Similar gatherings are happening in Washington, D.C., Sioux City, Iowa, and dozens of other cities.

Calls for Solidarity

“We’re in a moment where our communities are hurting, and we have to be showing up for each other more than ever,” said Neidi Dominguez, executive director of Organized Power In Numbers.

Corporate Targets

Some rallies will focus directly on billionaires and corporations accused of fueling Trump’s agenda. That includes donors to his political action committees and companies tied to figures like Elon Musk, according to organizers.

Growing Movement

Activists say they expect the Labor Day turnout to surpass the size of the May Day protests earlier this year. “It’s important to show that opposition exists everywhere — not just big cities, but small towns too,” said Saqib Bhatti of the Action Center on Race and the Economy.
