TENS of thousands of people took to the streets across the United States on Friday to join May Day rallies against the US-Israeli war on Iran and defend labour and immigrant rights.
Protests and marches took place in nearly 30 main US cities, including Washington, DC, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, and San Francisco, according to May Day Strong, a coalition of activist groups and labour unions. On Friday afternoon, thousands gathered at Washington Square Park in Manhattan, carrying signs such as “Stop war on Iran”, “ICE out of our cities”, and “Workers united, will never be defeated”.
Then they marched down Broadway to Foley Square, shouting slogans. “Right now, the United States is falling into a total disaster,” Nancy Goldring, a Montclair University professor and protester, told Xinhua. “We’re spending billions on a war on Iran that is useless and insane. And we’re aiding Israel to destroy Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon.”
