‘Hands Off’ march in Manhattan sees tens of thousands protest Trump/Musk agenda and demand end to turmoil

Tens of thousands took to the streets of Manhattan Saturday as part of a nationwide coordinated “Hands Off” protest against President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk following weeks of government chaos, attacks on democratic rights and economic turmoil.

A huge crowd in Manhattan marched up 5th Avenue between Madison Square and Bryant Parks for the April 5 action, organized by groups including Rise and Resist and 50501. It was just one of more than a thousand protests across the country held Saturday to protest Trump’s actions over the first two months of his second term in office.
