| Sign up to join a nearby Hands Off! protest on Saturday, April 5 >> Pamela, It's finally almost here. Tomorrow, April 5, will be the single biggest day of protests since Trump retook office, and if you haven't found a Hands Off! event to be part of, you can click here to join one near you. 
This Saturday is already going to be BIG, but we're counting on everyone to grab some poster boards, some friends, and a few snacks so they can turn out to make it HISTORICALLY HUGE. The moment could not be bigger or more timely: 1️⃣ The crackdown on peaceful protest is coming. We all know Trump, Musk, and their MAGA enablers will come after peaceful protesters if they can carry on unopposed much longer. And when that crackdown comes, it needs to be alien, inexcusable, indefensible, and untenable. We're showing up on April 5 because, if we don't, it will be so much harder to do so on May 5, June 5, or beyond. Tomorrow is when we set the tone that peaceful protests against this administration are widespread, unstoppable, and only getting bigger. 2️⃣ Our leaders and institutions won't fight unless we demand it. If anyone expected the powers that be to save us from the fascistic Musk-Trump power grab, they've been proven very wrong, very quickly. Too many institutions -- from law firms to academia to corporations and the media -- have chosen to meekly bow down to Trump and Musk's demands. Too many congressional Democrats have chosen complicity over bold resistance. Cory Booker made clear during his historic marathon speech on the Senate floor that he was responding to pressure from his constituents to do more. The message we send Saturday is aimed at those who share our values as much as it is at Trump and Musk. Together, we're demanding they do more and fight harder -- knowing that hundreds of thousands of their constituents have their backs if they do. 3️⃣ We have Elon Musk on the ropes. His approval rating is in the toilet. His bid to buy Wisconsin's Supreme Court race failed spectacularly. And now Donald Trump's privately admitting it may be time to show DOGE the door. By peacefully protesting the Musk-Trump Coup and educating voters about its danger to their pocketbooks and our democracy, Indivisibles and our allies have turned Elon Musk into a political pariah everywhere outside the Oval Office -- and now it's time to turn up the heat even further. When we turn out and march by the hundreds of thousands -- in DC, in all fifty states, and even overseas -- we'll show Trump, Musk, and their fascist allies that they're facing a unified movement even bigger, more organized, and more politically powerful than they imagined. We will not stand idly by as Musk and Trump raid our government to divide its spoils among their billionaire buddies. Will you join the biggest day of peaceful protests since Trump's reelection? Will you hit the streets to tell Trump and Musk hands off our healthcare, our Social Security, our schools, our bodies, and our democracy? And when future generations ask what you did in this moment, will you tell them you resisted with everything you've got -- loudly, proudly, peacefully, and in numbers too big to ignore? If we don't fight now, there won't be anything left to save. Please sign up for a protest tomorrow, April 5, to rise up together with one demand: Hands Off! In solidarity,
Indivisible Team P.S. If you can't make it to a Hands Off! protest, please consider showing your support by pitching in. Nationwide organizing like this requires incredible resources to get right, and your support ensures that tomorrow's mass mobilization is just the next step in a rising wave of resistance. P.P.S. If you're already planning on attending a Hands Off! event, sign up to attend ACLU's virtual Know Your Rights Rally Prep tonight at 8pm ET / 5pm PT. Our allies at the ACLU will prepare you to protect yourself and your community with practices for safe, peaceful action.  |
