For the third time in a month, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets, government buildings and the White House in a nationwide rally against the Trump administration.
Driving the news: Thursday's May Day protests fall on International Workers' Day and are calling attention to policies that affect working people, including threats to Social Security and union protections.
By the numbers: About 250,000 people had mobilized by midday on Thursday in more than 1,100 cities, by organizers' count.
- That's more than double what organizers expected earlier in the week, and more actions are planned into Thursday afternoon and evening.
