ATLANTA — A Labor Day march and rally called the “Workers over Billionaires” protest took place Monday afternoon in Atlanta, joining similar demonstrations across the country.

Laura Judge with the group “Indivisible North Metro Atlanta” says they met at Woodruff Park and marched to the King Center for the rally that was scheduled to run from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

“We have numerous organizations getting together in a coalition to support our laborers for Labor Day,” Judge said. “It’s not just about this one day of action, it’s more about long-term power and we have the people.”

Officials released a statement on the May Day Strong website:

“Labor and community are planning more than a barbecue on Labor Day this year because we have to stop the billionaire takeover. Billionaires are stealing from working families, destroying our democracy, and building private armies to attack our towns and cities.”

Several demonstrators who participated said President Trump is curbing workers’ rights. However, the White House says is it bringing jobs back to America.

Similar demonstrations happened all around the country Monday, including major cities like Boston, Denver, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Miami, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia.
