May Day marchers took to the streets across the country to bring attention to worker and immigrant rights.

Marches were held in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Miami and New York City. 

The rejection of racism, xenophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment were themes of the annual rally in Durham, New Hampshire. Other marches were held in Cleveland, San Francisco and Oakland, California.

Around the world, union members have traditionally marched on May 1 for workers' rights. More recently, the marches have decreased in size, but the tradition continues.
