More than 3,000 May Day protests are scheduled to take place across the United States on Friday, representing more than double the number from the previous year, according to organizers.

Protest organizers are calling for boycotts of work, school and shopping as part of what they describe as a strike against current government policies. The demonstrations are being coordinated under the slogan "no school, no work, no shopping" and include calls for an end to what activists term "billionaire rule."

According to reports, approximately 600 organizations are involved in mobilizing the events, including various political groups and Democratic Party committees. The network of participating groups reportedly has combined revenues of about $2 billion.

The protests are targeting policies of the Trump administration and what organizers characterize as corporate influence in government. Participants include workers, students and families from various backgrounds and political affiliations.

Union members, including from the United Auto Workers, are expected to participate in demonstrations in major cities including New York. The protests represent a continuation of May Day labor organizing traditions, with organizers framing the events as responses to economic and political concerns.

The scale of the planned demonstrations reflects broader political tensions and economic grievances among various activist groups and labor organizations across the country.
