A coalition of organizers, union members and elected officials are gathering Monday for a Chicago Labor Day march and rally opposing the Trump administration and escalated immigration enforcement operations.

The rally and march is called Workers Over Billionaires, and begins at 11 a.m. near the Haymarket Memorial in the West Loop.

Organizers said the purpose is to stand united against President Trump's cuts to funding and programs, and attacks on immigrants and minority communities.

They will also be speaking out against threats of what they describe as an unlawful takeover of Chicago/
