SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Dozens took to the streets of downtown on Wednesday to protest worker rights on May Day.

The group marched from the federal building to Chicano Park, chanting and cheering along the way.

The group comprised several San Diego organizations with a clear set of demands. One of their biggest rally cries was for the freedom of Palestinians in Gaza.

For those closer who live and work in San Diego, their fight was for liveable wages, free and universal health care, housing and education.

These groups said working multiple jobs to barely make ends meet is becoming nearly impossible.

The rally and march included speakers from several communities and remained peaceful.
