Hundreds of "Hands Off" protests will be held across the country Saturday, April 5, aimed at sending a message to President Donald Trump and his controversial billionaire adviser Elon Musk.

Dozens of the protests are scheduled around Massachusetts, including one on Boston Common, starting at 11 a.m. at the Parkman Bandstand.

What is the Hands Off protest?

According to a statement from national organizers, "Hands Off" is a "national day of action" that will bring members of Congress, community leaders and "everyday people" together to "call on Trump and Elon Musk to take their hands off the programs that the middle class and working families rely on."

"With Trump and congressional Republicans doubling down on their agenda to gut essential services, everyday Americans are sending a clear message: Take your hands off our healthcare, our Social Security, our civil rights, our freedom, and our education," organizers said.

It’s all across the country. The entire Democratic Party will be annoying tomorrow. Seeing signs of stop screwing with my 401K plan will be prominent.

Trump should oblige. Take hand, or the auto pen, off any entitlement. Deficit over.

Perhaps we could stage a few hundred “$*@& OFF” protests.

In other words: we demand that you keep the waste, fraud, and abuse flowing.

Not going to click on the link. Just tell me whether or not the organizers are identified and who is funding them.

Well, that will take 20 people off the street in my county.

I am reminded of Mick Jagger:

“And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, “We’re gonna vent our frustration
If we don’t we’re gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse”
Sing it to me, honey”

They are trying to start a color revolution to get rid of Trump like they have done all over the world.

People should counter in large numbers because the idea they use is to make it appear almost everyone is for their side as they sow anger, lies, and discontent.

If we had an active DOJ and FBI it would have helped if they had gotten right on all the vermin who have been robbing us and causing this kind of thing. More time and money spent on their own defense is less time and money to create havoc.

This summer should be a nightmare the way things are going.

It seems that most of this crap is funded by George SoreAss.

The funding and support seem to come from a coalition of existing advocacy groups and grassroots efforts:

Main Organizers: The nationwide mobilization is primarily organized by groups such as Indivisible, MoveOn, Third Act, and Fight Back Table.
Partnering Organizations: Numerous other national and local organizations are involved in supporting and participating in the events. Examples include:
Human Rights Campaign
Planned Parenthood
Center for LGBTQ Economic Advancement & Research
Declaration for American Democracy
Local chapters of groups like Indivisible Chicago
Chicago Federation of Labor
Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights
Equality Illinois
Sierra Club
Personal PAC
The funding for this ‘effort’ is described by Gemini 2.5 AI:

Grassroots Support: The movement also relies on the involvement of grassroots activists, workers, community leaders, and individuals organizing and participating in local events across all 50 states.
Therefore, the “funding” is likely derived from the operational budgets, staff resources, member mobilization efforts of these various participating organizations, and potentially grassroots donations specific to the events, rather than a central “HandsOff2025” fund.

I suspect CIA funded Color Revolution financed by USAID (trying to spend the last drop in the bucket before it is gone).
