Protests are scheduled in over 340 cities on May 1, advocating for essential public services and workers' rights. Leaders emphasize unity among workers, denouncing the concentration of wealth among the elite. PEN America criticized Trump's initial actions, arguing they threaten free expression. The growing dissent reflects concerns over his administration's impact on democracy and public welfare.
