May Day Rally To Be Held Sunday In Princeton. See Details:

PRINCETON, NJ — Another round of protests against the Trump administration is scheduled to take place in Princeton on Sunday.

The Princeton rally will take place at Hinds Plaza from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Hear from speakers from Coalition for Peace Action, NJEA, CWA, Working Families Party, Make the Road NJ, Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, For the Many, as well as Princeton University Professor of American History, Sean Wilentz.

The rally is sponsored by the Coalition for Peace Action. Cosponsors include Princeton Community Democratic Organization, Indivisible Cranbury and Indivisible Princeton.

The demonstration is part of the May Day National Day of Action. There are similar rallies across the country called by a coalition of advocacy groups.

The organizers say they are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.

Here's what they have to say:

Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.

May Day 2025 we are standing united. We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status.
They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong.

This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up.

The May Day protests are the latest in a series of national demonstrations against the Trump administration, Elon Musk and the ongoing federal budget cuts.
