What to Know About Saturday’s Nationwide 'Hands Off!' Anti-Trump Protests
Nationwide 'Hands Off!' protests scheduled for Saturday are set to become the largest single-day demonstration since President Trump took office, with over 1,100 events across the U.S. addressing contentious federal policies.

On Saturday, as protests unfold across all 50 states, a diverse coalition of Americans will gather to oppose a range of policies implemented under the Trump administration. With over 1,100 events planned—from rallies in San Diego, Denver, Philadelphia, and Chicago to virtual informational meetings—the movement aims to challenge changes affecting Social Security, federal workforce layoffs, consumer protections, immigration, and transgender rights.
The protests have already prompted significant adjustments, such as the rescheduling of White House garden tours from Saturday to Sunday. Sparked by what organizers describe as 'the most brazen power grab in modern history,' this coordinated demonstration, which has been in the works with intensive virtual training sessions since January, seeks to unite communities against policies perceived as undermining democratic values.
