Sunday, April 6, 2025 - Millions of people took part in protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk across all 50 states and globally on Saturday, organized by a pro-democracy movement over a “hostile takeover” and attack on American rights and freedoms.
According to CNN, over 1,400 “Hands Off!” mass-action protests were held at state capitols, federal buildings, congressional offices, Social Security’s headquarters, parks and city halls throughout the entire country – anywhere “we can make sure they hear us,” organizers said.
“Hands Off!” demands “an end to this billionaire power grab.” “Whether you are mobilized by the attacks on our democracy, the slashing of jobs, the invasion of privacy, or the assault on our services – this moment is for you,” the event flyers state. “We are setting out to build a massive, visible, national rejection of this crisis.”
Nearly 600,000 people had signed up to attend the
events, some of which took place in major cities like London and Paris,
according to Indivisible, one of the organizations leading the movement in
collaboration with a nationwide coalition that includes civil rights
organizations, veterans, women’s rights groups, labor unions and LGBTQ+
advocates.
Organizers say they have three demands: “an end to the
billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration; an end
to slashing federal funds for Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs
working people rely on; and an end to the attacks on immigrants, trans people,
and other communities.”
