Nationwide 'Hands Off!' Protests Planned Across the U.S.

Washington, D.C. — In a historic display of civil unity, over 150 organizations across the United States are mobilizing for a coordinated day of protest under the slogan “Hands Off!” The massive movement is set to unfold on Saturday, with more than 1,200 demonstrations planned in all 50 states. The protests are in direct response to controversial actions by the Trump administration, with grievances ranging from immigration policies and economic inequality to civil rights and environmental concerns. Major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. are expected to draw tens of thousands of participants. Protesters will march, rally, and engage in peaceful sit-ins to call for policy reversals and renewed attention to democratic values. The organizers include civil rights groups, labor unions, environmental coalitions, and youth-led activist movements. One organizer stated: “This is not just about one leader. It’s about safeguarding our future and demanding accountability.” Local authorities are preparing for crowd control and traffic management, while ensuring the right to peaceful assembly is respected. Meanwhile, the White House has yet to issue an official response. Observers note that the scale of this protest could mark a pivotal moment in U.S. civic engagement heading into the 2026 midterm elections.
