00:00Hundreds marched in downtown Chicago on Monday, under the banner, Workers Over Billionaires,
00:12protesting President Donald Trump's planned crackdowns, as well as cuts to social programs.
00:18We have stood up for the interests of workers before, and we will do it again, and no matter
00:24what comes from the White House, Chicago will always be a labor town.
00:30No federal troops in the city of Chicago.
00:35No militarized force in the city of Chicago.
00:39We're going to defend our democracy in the city of Chicago.
00:44We're going to protect the humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago.
00:48We are in a reconstruction with a black mayor whose family escaped Silas, Mississippi, and
00:53imagine his leadership.
00:56We're doing it with an organizer, not a billionaire.
01:00We are a government of the people for the people, not a government of billionaires for billionaires.
01:06I'm out here today for all of my retired sisters and brothers who are going to be subjected
01:12to walking, dying in the streets because of the lack of the safety net that has been eliminated
01:20by Donald Trump and his Doge group.
01:23The rally occurred after Trump and senior administration figures warned of potential new crackdowns in
01:29Chicago, contradicting city data that indicates declining violent crime rates in most categories
01:35this year.
01:36It followed Trump's recent public safety push in Washington, D.C., where he deployed National
01:41Guard troops, sent federal officers into the streets, and federalized the police.
01:46The entire澤 here is gonna attack, what do we do?
01:47Stand up like that!
01:52What do we do?
02:01You
