https://handsoff2025.com/aboutOn Saturday, April 5th, we rise up with one demand: Hands Off!
There are over 100 partner organizations sponsoring this!
https://handsoff2025.com/about-1
This is a nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history. Trump, Musk, and their billionaire cronies are orchestrating an all-out assault on our government, our economy, and our basic rightsenabled by Congress every step of the way.
They want to strip America for partsshuttering Social Security offices, firing essential workers, eliminating consumer protections, and gutting Medicaidall to bankroll their billionaire tax scam. Theyre handing over our tax dollars, our public services, and our democracy to the ultra-rich.
If we dont fight now, there wont be anything left to save.
This is the moment where we say NO. No more looting, no more stealing, no more billionaires raiding our government while working people struggle to survive.
On April 5th, we take action. Across the country, thousands of people will march, rally, disrupt, and demand an end to this billionaire power grab. Well show up at state capitals, federal buildings, congressional offices, and city centersanywhere we can make sure they hear us.

(54,592 posts)3. Currently there are 935 protests planned...WOW!
I just checked out the site and got out my calculator. That is the largest planned protest that I have seen in my life as an activist. It was 570 when I checked it out on Monday, 5 days ago. This is an enormous undertaking by the organizers.
