“Hands off” our health care, our schools, our Social Security, and our rights!

Hands Off! Detroit Fights Back

“Solidarity” is an important word. It means our interests are the same. We stand together. We have strength in numbers. We support each other against oppression.

Dictators, fascists, and authoritarians of all stripes — Trump, Putin, Orban, for example — hate solidarity. They don’t want us to join together. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless and afraid.

This is why I encourage you to participate in the demonstrations planned for this Saturday, April 5, across America.

Millions of Americans will march with one message to Donald Trump and Elon Musk: Take your hands off of our health care, our data, our jobs, and our services!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. On Saturday, April 5, millions of Americans are mobilizing to show it doesn’t.

This mass mobilization is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies.

Americans across the country are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop to the chaos and to build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.

It’s time to remove, reverse, and reclaim.

But we must do so peacefully. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to deescalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Here’s some important information about what’s planned and how you can become involved, much of it drawn from a useful Substack called “We the People Dissent” at https://thepeopledissent.substack.com/

THE MARCH

On this single day, four groups have come together: 50501, Indivisible, Hands Off, and Women’s March.

They are organizing on two websites: www.Hands Off.com and www.SeeyouintheStreets.com.

Before you go … This is a peaceful movement committed to nonviolence.

Ways you can join!

 MARCH IN YOUR STATE

Saturday, April 5 at various times. With the exception of Alaska, every town is within 4 hours or less of at least one protest. Protests are being added daily. My list is a compilation of information from Mobilize, Pol-Rev, and Action Network.

 AFTER THE PROTEST . . .

Don’t forget to share the COUNT after a protest. The list is ever growing.

SUPPORT FROM HOME

On the day of the protest and leading up to it, amplify the message and encourage others.

  • Share and repost videos on social media. Several 50501 and Indivisible groups have a social media presence. Find one in your state and amplify their posts.
  • Submit the story to your local news station, newspaper, or social media group.
  • Tag news stations and media personalities in public posts.
  • Comment on posts and leave an encouraging message.

In solidarity we have power.

Hands Off! Detroit Fights Back

Volunteer organized

Time: Saturday, April 5, 1 – 4pm EDT

Location: Detroit Institute of Arts

5200 Woodward Ave., Detroit, MI 48202

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. Detroit is fighting back!

They’re taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.

🚨 On Saturday, April 5th, we’re taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! 🚨

We will gather in front of the DIA, off Woodward Ave. Please arrive as close to 1 pm as possible, as we will not stay in front of the DIA for long. We will make a couple of short announcements and take off for Grand Circus Park. One way is approximately 1.7 miles. So the total march will be about 3.5 miles. If you would only like to do the march one way, please park near Grand Circus Park. From there you may take the Q-line to the DIA.

📍 Where: DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts) – FRONT STEPS to gather – marching to park and back.

📅 When: 1:00PM – 4:00PM April 5, 2025

This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.

A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
