Geneva resident Ellen Ljung said that Labor Day on Monday provided the perfect backdrop for a rally in St. Charles aimed at protesting the policies of the Trump administration.

“This is our 12th rally this year, and we’ve also done some educational forums and meetings,” said Ljung, a member of the steering committee of the Fox Valley-based We Can Lead Change group before the 90-minute rally Monday. “We picked Labor Day because … it’s a National Day of Protest.”

A press release from the We Can Lead Change group said “this Labor Day we will continue to stand strong, fighting for public schools over private profits, health care over hedge funds, shared prosperity over corporate politics. We do not forget that working people built this nation and we know how to take care of each other.”
