More than half a million Americans are expected to reach the streets on Saturday in what the organizers say will be the largest coordinated demonstration since President Donald Trump joined the office. More than 1200 “Hands Off!” The protests are planned in all 50 countries, with the main participation in Washington, DC, Florida and several capitals.
Key organizers behind the movement
Mass mobilization is headed by a coalition of progressive groups, including indivisible women, women’s march, Moveon, Working Families Power and Public Citizen. Newer networks at local levels, such as 50501 and more than 150 other organizations, bridge groups of civil rights, trade unions, environmental advisors, veterans, LGBTQ+ group and fair election activists, joined them.
The focus of demonstrations
The aim of the protests is to oppose what the organizers call Trump’s authoritarian overlap and an agenda supported by a billionaire. Specific complaints include a drastic reduction in the federal government, mass release of federal employees, refund of immigrants and transgender protection, and a controversial decision of foreign policy in Ukraine and Palestine.
Musk
Demonstrators also focus on Elon Musk, who plays a central role in Trump’s second administration as the head of the newly formed Ministry of the Government (Duge) efficiency. Musk has made efforts to dramatic reduction in federal agencies and raised outrage among public service advocates.
The biggest protest expected in Washington, DC
The biggest demonstration is expected in Washington, DC, starting with noon in Washington. The organizers predict that participation will exceed the participation of the people of the people, which took place on the weekend before the second inauguration of Trump.
Economic parachutes of the fuel of anger
Public outrage has intensified this week after Trump’s announcement on large tariffs 2. April, which caused a sharp decline in the stock market. Despite Trump’s will, he remained defiant and said Friday: “My policies will never change.”
Protests spread over the retreat of Florida Trump
Although Trump is not in Washington this weekend, he does not avoid unrest. Several protests are planned near Mar-A-Lago, his Florida Estate in Palm Beach.
