CNN - Thousands of protesters rallied across the US on Thursday in response to the Trump administration's actions on immigration, the war in Gaza, federal workers and unions. The demonstrators, who were organized under the banner of the grassroots “50501” movement, filled the streets of major cities and small towns holding signs and calling for change. “Trump has poor and working-class people forgetting who our enemies are. Our enemies are not international students that organize on their campus. Our enemies are not undocumented workers that contribute to their communities, that pay taxes and can’t get services. Our enemies are not workers that work for corporations,” an organizer said to a large crowd gathered in New York City’s Union Square. “No — this racist, sexist, anti-worker, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic system is our enemy.” More demonstrations are scheduled to take place on Saturday.
