About 1,000 people packed the streets of Princeton on Thursday for a May Day rally in support of workers and immigrants and in opposition to the policies of President Donald Trump. May 1 is International Workers’ Rights Day.

At the event hosted by Resistencia en Acción and co-sponsored by Indivisible, anti-Trump protesters expressed a range of concerns about the administration’s recent actions that they said threaten working people, including the elimination of federal jobs, immigration raids, and billionaire Elon Musk’s involvement in downsizing the U.S. government. They also sounded the alarm about threats to democracy.

The rally and march started at the Fountain of Freedom in front of the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and ended more than two hours later at the Witherspoon Presbyterian Church. Protesters marched up Nassau Street onto Witherspoon Street. The crowd filled Witherspoon Street from Hulfish Street to Small World Coffee.

The rally was co-sponsored by Princeton Mutual Aid, American Friends Service Committee, CAIR, National Education Association, Semilla Roja, Black Lives Matter, and the People’s Organization for Progress.
