They are dismantling our country. They are plundering our government. And they think we'll just sit and watch. “The nationwide Hands Off! protests that took place over the weekend saw an impressive mobilization, with over 1,400 demonstrations in all 50 states and around 600,000 registered participants. The movement is directed against social cuts, the influence of billionaires on the government and attacks on marginalized communities. “Although the protests are peaceful and strategically organized, it remains unclear whether they have the potential to spark an uprising. Historically, large-scale protests in the U.S. have rarely led directly to revolutionary change, but rather spurred political discussion and reform.” “The protests could mark a turning point by highlighting widespread disapproval of the Trump administration. However, the White House has downplayed the demonstrations and emphasized that they will not stop Trump's agenda. “The protesters would need to scale up their efforts by: exerting political pressure: Through continued mobilization and targeted lobbying, they could gain influence over decision-makers. Influence elections: The movement would have to focus on achieving a high voter turnout in the upcoming elections. Form coalitions: Working with other social movements and political groups could increase the impact.
On april 5th, we rise up
They’re dismantling our country. They’re looting our government. And they think we’ll just watch.
On Saturday, April 5th, we rise up with one demand: Hands Off!
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.
Why we’re mobilizing
We are facing a national crisis. Our democracy, our livelihoods, and our rights are all on the line as Trump and Musk execute their illegal takeover.
They’re dismantling Social Security and Medicare—forcing seniors and disabled Americans to jump through hoops to access the benefits they’ve already paid into.
They’re handing trillions to billionaires—while forcing the rest of us to pay higher prices for food, rent, and healthcare.
They’re gutting protections for working people—so payday lenders, banks, and credit card companies can scam Americans with zero consequences.
They’re assaulting our communities and our rights—targeting veterans, kids, seniors, farmers, immigrants, transgender people, and political opponents.
They won’t stop there.
This is not just corruption. This is not just mismanagement. This is a hostile takeover.
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.
