Hands Off! NATIONWIDE Mass mobilization rally/protest April 5. Where, times, details. What to know. Info hub here.

On 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 rights—enabled by Congress every step of the way.

They want to strip America for parts—shuttering Social Security offices, firing essential workers, eliminating consumer protections, and gutting Medicaid—all to bankroll their billionaire tax scam. They’re handing over our tax dollars, our public services, and our democracy to the ultra-rich.

If we don’t fight now, there won’t 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. We’ll show up at state capitals, federal buildings, congressional offices, and city centers—anywhere we can make sure they hear us.

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.
