  • May Day NYC Rally Demands Higher Taxes on Billionaires, Worker Protections
    May 2, 2026, 1:46 AM EDT. Thousands gathered in New York City's Washington Square Park on May Day to demand higher taxes on billionaires and improved worker rights. The event, led by unions and immigrant organizations, included a march to Foley Square and protests outside Amazon and the New York Stock Exchange. Mayor Zohran Mamdani affirmed support for workers, emphasizing solidarity and his pledge to tax the rich. Organizers highlighted concerns over rising living costs and unsafe working conditions. Activists also pushed for the New York For All Act, aimed at protecting immigrant workers by limiting local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Several arrests were reported during the Wall Street climate protest, but the Washington Square rally remained peaceful under heavy NYPD presence.
