PHILADELPHIA (CBS Philadelphia) -- A massive crowd gathered at City Hall in Philadelphia Thursday for a May Day rally and to see Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders speak.
The "For Workers, Not Billionaires" rally on the north side of City Hall drew a large crowd and shut down streets in the area.
Sanders laid into the Trump administration's policies on taxes, immigration, federal cuts and more. He also pointed out the billionaires President Trump has put into cabinet positions and surrounded himself with — including the world's wealthiest man, Elon Musk. Sanders says he came to the event with a call to workers and Pennsylvania lawmakers.
Chopper 3 was over the rally, which spilled into the street.
"I'm here in Pennsylvania to tell any member of the Pennsylvania delegation that if they vote for tax breaks for billionaires and cut Medicaid, nutrition and education, we are gonna throw them out of their jobs," Sanders said.
Danny Bauder, president of the Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO, talked to CBS News Philadelphia about what workers want.
