Thousands marched in Portland—but what message are they sending to Washington?
Labor Day saw massive "Workers Over Billionaires" rallies across the US, including a significant demonstration in downtown Portland, Oregon. Organizers aimed to highlight economic inequality and advocate for policies supporting working families.
Verified reports indicate over 1,000 rallies occurred nationwide, with Portland drawing an estimated thousands of participants. These events largely protested against Trump's policies and championed worker rights, echoing sentiments shared by prominent figures like Massachusetts Governor Healey and Boston Mayor Wu.
The demonstrations underscore growing concerns about economic disparity and the future of labor protections. Expect continued activism and policy debates surrounding these issues in the coming months.
