Protesters tried to chain themselves to the New York Stock Exchange.

In the United States, several participants in protests timed to coincide with May 1 tried to chain themselves to a fence outside the New York Stock Exchange building. The corresponding footage is published by Izvestia on May 1.

The left-wing political protesters also carried placards and called the American billionaires "clowns." The participants of the action opposed the receipt of super profits by billionaires, which they consider unfair.

"We work, they earn," read one of the slogans on the protesters' posters.

Earlier, astronauts participating in the Artemis II lunar mission also arrived at the exchange building. As part of the tradition, they have to ring the bell that will open the auction.
