Hundreds of people in Santa Barbara joined a national battlecry on Thursday to salvage democracy within the United States. The lawn of the Santa Barbara Courthouse was packed for this local rendition of the country’s “May Day” protests, which traditionally recognize workers’ rights and labor unions.

Hundreds of thousands of people rallied in U.S. cities and around the globe for International Workers’ Day or May Day, with the focus this year on President Donald Trump’s agenda.
