A series of protests taking place nationwide Saturday against Trump administration policies will include several gatherings in San Diego County.
The one expected to be the largest is set for downtown San Diego, at noon at Civic Center Plaza, where organizers hope to attract more than 10,000 people.
The “Hands Off” rallies will protest the administration’s cutbacks to federal programs and mass employee firings, as well as Elon Musk’s involvement through the Department of Government Efficiency.
Organizers of the national movement describe it as an effort “to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history,” while calling out “Trump, Musk, and their billionaire cronies.”
Trump has yet to comment on what organizers are calling a “mass mobilization day,” but the White House announced it is rescheduling one of its annual spring garden tour dates Saturday due to the large anti-Trump demonstration expected to take place near 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
The downtown San Diego rally is set to proceed from Civic Center Plaza, just outside San Diego City Hall, west to the Hall of Justice. Local elected officials and community activists are expected to attend.
“San Diegans who are veterans, who are postal workers and teachers, who rely on Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare, and who are horrified at the Trump-Musk billionaire takeover of our government are coming together to protest the Trump administration’s attacks on the rights and services they depend upon, many of them for survival,” said Angela Benson, a member of the organizing coalition.
Other “Hands Off!” rallies set to take place throughout the county on Saturday include:
Carlsbad, Tamarack Beach, Carlsbad Boulevard and Pine Avenue, 10 a.m. Encinitas, Encinitas Boulevard and El Camino, 11 a.m. Oceanside, North Coast Highway and Pier View Way, 9:30 a.m. Rancho Bernardo, outside Rancho Bernardo Town Center at 16861 Bernardo Center Drive, 12:30 p.m. Borrego Springs, Christmas Circle Community Park, 10 a.m. Read More Details
