The protests were organized by a loose network of left-leaning activist groups, which said the rallies were taking place in more than 1,000 locations.
“We believe that the ultra wealthy are trying to take over the country and suppress the working class and the middle class,“ Shane Riddle told AFP outside the White House in Washington.
Various rallies held across the capital brought together hundreds of people, with similar turnout in New York, while several thousand demonstrators congregated in Los Angeles, AFP photographers on the scene observed.
Americans 'are angry'
“I feel like I haven’t heard anything from the party at all,“ Izabela Cabrera, a 22-year-old student told AFP in Washington.
The chief organizer of Thursday's protests was the group 50501. Its name is meant to represent 50 protests in 50 states and one movement and it has been behind previous calls to demonstrate.
The demonstration, titled “For the Workers, Not the Billionaires,“ alludes in part to the exceedingly wealthy individuals in Trump's administration, including Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk, who heads the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” cost-cutting effort.
At May Day rallies across the globe, from France to the Philippines, anti-Trump themes were also visible.
May Day, which is celebrated in many countries as International Workers' Day, is not a public holiday in the United States, which marks Labor Day in September.
