‘Hands Off’ protest: April 5 could see massive turnout for rallies against Trump and Musk in all 50 states. Here’s what to know
Nationwide protests against the Trump administration and adviser Elon Musk are planned for this Saturday, April 5 in all 50 states. The day of events, dubbed “Hands Off!”, will include protests in many red states such as Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida, as well as major cities such as New York, L.A., and San Francisco. A flagship march is scheduled to take place on the grounds of the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. Here’s everything you need to know about the day of protests. What is the Hands Off protest? The aim of the protests is to voice opposition to various Trump administration policies, and massive budget cuts and layoffs across federal agencies spearheaded by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). “This is a nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history . . . They’re taking everything they can get their hands on,” Hands Off said on its website. “Our health care, our data, our jobs, our services . . . we’re taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!” Who’s behind the protest? The protests are organized by Indivisible, a grassroots movement aimed at rebuilding democracy and defeating Trump, which is partnering with a broad coalition of groups including: the Women’s March, the United Federation of Teachers, Public Citizen, the Progressive Democrats of America, Common Cause, Human Rights Campaign, MoveOn, the League of Women Voters, Planned Parenthood, and some unions including AFL-CIO, UAW, and SEIU. Indivisible’s co-executive director Ezra Levin told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that Hands Off is going through a “wave moment,” in which it’s seeing a larger number of people interested in volunteering, organizing, and participating. How big is the Hands Off protest? “We expect April 5th to be the largest single-day protest since Donald Trump’s second inauguration,” a spokesperson for Hands Off told Fast Company. “Actions are scheduled in over 1000 cities nationwide—and counting, with over 250,000 people expected to attend. Events [will] include marches, demonstrations and rallies.” Many of the protests are scheduled to take place at state capitals, federal buildings, and congressional offices including at Social Security’s headquarters. There are also protests planned for the Daley Center in Chicago, city halls in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, and Bryant Park in Manhattan, as well as multiple cities outside the U.S., including London, Madrid, and Zurich.
