Thousands of protesters flooded streets from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles on Saturday, forming a nationwide wave of dissent dubbed the 'Hands Off' demonstrations. With an estimated 1,200 rallies, it's being hailed as the largest coordinated opposition movement since Donald Trump took office in January 2017. 📢
Organizers say the protests targeted Trump’s policies on healthcare, immigration, and climate change, with chants like 'Our streets, our rights!' echoing in iconic locations. Social media buzzed with videos of creative signs—one reading 'Policy Over Pride' went viral. 📱✨
While the protests remained peaceful, tensions flared briefly in New York City, where activists clashed with counter-protesters. Local leaders emphasized unity, with speaker Emma Sanchez urging crowds: 'This isn’t just about Trump—it’s about protecting our future.'
The movement’s scale drew comparisons to the 2017 Women’s March, signaling growing grassroots momentum. Analysts suggest it could shape midterm election strategies. 🇺🇸🗳️
