Shafaq News/ On Saturday, more than 1,200 protests areplanned across all 50 US states and six other countries opposing PresidentDonald Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk in the largest coordinatedaction since Trump began his second term in January.
The “Hands Off!” campaign drew participation in Canada,Britain, France, Germany, Mexico, and Portugal, as well as major rallies at theNational Mall in Washington and outside state capitols.
Organizers cited a wave of executive orders advancingconservative policies as the trigger for the protests. “This is an enormousdemonstration that is sending a very clear message to Musk and Trump andcongressional Republicans,” said Ezra Levin, co-founder of the advocacy groupIndivisible. “We don’t want their hands on our democracy, on our communities,on our schools and our friends and our neighbors.”
Lawsuits have challenged parts of Trump’s agenda, accusinghim of “exceeding presidential powers” in attempts to remove federal employeesand deport migrants.
Protest organizers said pro-Palestinian groups anddemonstrators opposing the resumption of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza—andTrump’s crackdown on related campus protests—would also join Saturday’s rallyin Washington. A separate march is planned by Palestinian solidarity groups.
More than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations,labor unions, LGBTQ+ advocates, veterans, and election reform activists, joinedthe protests.
