This Saturday, more than 800 Hands Off! events are taking place across the country to protest Trump and Musk’s threats to our democracy in the largest mobilization since Trump took office.

Over 100,000 people have RSVP’d to rise up in solidarity for our freedoms and our futures, and Bend the Arc is a co-sponsor alongside dozens of community groups, faith groups, unions and more — including MoveOn, Indivisible, Planned Parenthood, SEIU, Greenpeace, United We Dream, and others.

Before you go out, join the security training this Wednesday to learn how you can be as safe and welcoming as possible.

Hands Off! Mass Mobilization
Saturday, April 5th | Across the Country

The scale and urgency of these protests reflect a groundswell of opposition to the dangerous future Trump and his allies are trying to impose on us.

If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to get in the streets, feel our collective power, and send a clear message of opposition to the White House, we hope to see you at a Hands Off! protest this weekend. View the map of events here.

In solidarity,

The Bend the Arc team

PS: At Bend the Arc, we have an organizational practice of honoring Shabbat, but we occasionally invite people to important Saturday events like this one. We invite you to participate if it’s within your Shabbat practice.
