Protesters across the U.S. rallying as part of the “Hands Off!” movement on Saturday are taking to the streets, state capitals, federal buildings, congressional offices and city centers to protest the Trump administration.

Why it matters: President Trump’s political, economic, social, health and legal changes have mobilized a wide cross-section of Americans.

State of play: Demonstrators are also speaking out against Elon Musk‘s involvement in the federal government as an unelected official running DOGE.

  • The anticipated protests prompted the White House to reschedule its Saturday White House spring garden tours.

By the numbers: More than 1,100 rallies, visibility events and meetings were scheduled in all 50 states as of Wednesday.

  • Organizers said they had more than 500,000 RSVPs as of Friday night.
  • Dozens of advocacy organizations partnered to support Saturday’s mass mobilization.
