Immigrant and union groups in New York City are gathering in Union Square ahead of a May Day march planned for Monday evening.
They're among the tens of thousands of people rallying in cities across the U.S. not just for workers' rights, but in protest of President Trump's immigration policies. Larger crowds are expected to return this year as immigrant groups have joined with Muslim organizations, women's advocates and others in their united opposition to Trump administration policies.
Organizer Michael Bellamy told News 4 that historically May Day has been about "making sure that people who are actually producing the things that we need to live are getting what they deserve for the work that they do."
"But as history has progressed, May Day has become more and more about other struggles, and linking those struggles with the workers' struggles as well," he said.
