Nationwide Hands Off! Protests Planned April 5

On April 5, a nationwide series of protests dubbed the 'Hands Off! A National Day of Action' will take place, opposing President Donald Trump and his administration's policies, which critics describe as harmful to democracy and public services. Organized by a coalition of grassroots groups including Indivisible and the Women’s March, the protests aim to rally against what they see as a power grab that threatens fundamental rights and services, such as health care and education. Participants will gather in various locations across the country, with events planned in cities like Montclair, South Bend, and Washington, D.C. The protests emphasize nonviolent action and a collective message against the perceived assaults on civil rights by Trump and his billionaire allies, including Elon Musk. Organizers assert that this mobilization reflects a growing resistance and a call for progressive change. The Hands Off! initiative is seen as a pivotal moment for activists to unite and advocate for their rights and future.
