Protests against President Donald Trump and his administration—billed as "Workers Over Billionaires"—are set to take place across the country on Labor Day.

Jackson Potter, the vice president of the Chicago Teachers Union who is among the organizers, told Newsweek that organizer May Day Strong teamed up with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) to "bring a Labor Day that's representative and reflective of best parts of our tradition." He said the day of action is aimed at "fighting against the oligarchs and challenging the militarization of our cities while working people are falling further behind and billionaires are getting windfalls."

Why It Matters

The protests are to be the latest nationwide demonstrations against the Trump administration. On June 14, millions rallied in cities across the country for "No Kings" protests while a military parade rolled through Washington, D.C, marking the Army's 250th anniversary, which coincided with Trump's 79th birthday. More recently, "Rage Against the Regime" demonstrations took place in hundreds of cities across the U.S. on August 2.

What To Know

Potter said more than 900 events are planned in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. He said that hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people could take to the streets across the country.

2. There should be mass protests every week.

I'm surprised it's not already happening.

3. Depending on where you are, there is.

In Burlington and Montpelier VT there is virtually every weekend. Protests and marches.

5. I'm in ruby red Edgewater, FL.

There are pretty large protests in neighboring New Smyrna Beach on the scheduled national protest days (which we participated in), but the closest thing to a protest in Edgewater is rednecks grumbling about the long lines at the local Mini-Mart when there's a big lottery jackpot. Or if they've run out of the on sale 12-packs of Keystone on a Friday night. Gets testy...

4. Providence and Newport RI have them every week. n/t
