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/

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

From the news coverage they are mostly old white people who drove in from the burbs to protest.
