Over 1,000 Demonstrations Planned Across US Against Trump, Musk

Some 1,200 demonstrations are planned across the US on Saturday in what organizers expect to be the largest single day of protest against President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk since the administration launched its rapid-fire effort to put a conservative stamp on government.

The "Hands Off!" protests will allow Trump opponents to demonstrate their displeasure en masse in response to Trump's sweeping makeover of US foreign and domestic policy through executive orders.

"This is an enormous demonstration that is sending a very clear message to Musk and Trump and congressional Republicans and all the goose-stepping allies of MAGA that we don't want their hands on our democracy, on our communities, on our schools and our friends and our neighbors," said Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, one of the groups organizing Saturday's events.
