HANDS OFF! April 5

From Indivisible
Americans are fed up with the Musk-Trump power grab and want an end to the lawless raiding of our government. “Hands off!” is a simple rallying cry against an administration that’s dangerously overreaching and throwing our democracy, our economy, and for many -- our private lives -- into chaos.

You can register to attend protests in cities across the country, with more being added daily. That’s just the start. Indivisible leaders and partners are working to confirm protests in every major metro area in the country. And we anticipate hundreds of demonstrations in towns and smaller cities nationwide.

If you can make it to DC, we want you there. If you can get to an event in the closest metro area, that’s the next best thing (we’ll keep you updated as events are added).

And if you want to host a smaller demonstration in your town, we’ve got a toolkit to help you do that, too -- we're also holding an informational meeting for hosts on Friday, March 21, at 3pm ET/12pm PT.

The important thing is to show up on April 5, where you can, so that we can make our collective power felt.

Over the next few days, we’ll be adding more events to our map in major cities across the country. Regular folks (maybe you?) will be stepping up to host events in your communities, and we’ll be there to help. If you’ve already got an event near you, please help push it out on social media. If not, you can share the link to the mass mobilization hub.

Every protest planned between now and then is an opportunity for recruitment. Every town hall event during the congressional recess provides a chance to bring ticked off constituents into our mass mobilization.

A core principle behind Hands Off! is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to
de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

participate in? I like the ones that are spontaneous, and self-generating, such as the protests against muskrat, that seemed to happen spontaneously. What has ever happened to these raw, spontaneous protests that happen all on their own? IMHO, these are the best sorts of protests and they seem to really impact/make a difference.
