On May Day, thousands of students and workers gathered in various cities, including New York City, San Francisco, and Oakland, to rally in solidarity with Palestine at the 'Students & Workers Unite for Palestine' rally. The demonstrations, which also commemorated International Workers' Day, saw participants advocating for Palestinian rights amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. In New York City, the focal point was Foley Square, where attendees were encouraged to bring signs and wear union gear. Despite NYPD's repressive actions the previous night, including attacking protesters, the arrested individuals returned to the streets with renewed vigor. Similar sentiments were echoed in the Bay Area, where protests were also held in response to the conflict.
