Thousands of people are expected to gather for protests at the state Capitol and more than a dozen cities across Minnesota as part of nationwide protest against President Donald Trump and senior advisor Elon Musk.

The “Hands Off!” protest, organized by the MN 50501 group, Indivisible Twin Cities, and Women’s March Minnesota, aim’s to be the largest rally in the state to oppose federal orders by President Trump and Musk. Those orders represent the “takeover and the assault on our freedoms and our communities” organizers said in a media release.

Hundreds of events will take place across the country Saturday, with dozens happening in Minnesota towns like Duluth, Rochester and Grand Rapids. Thousands of protesters are expected to rally at the state capitol at noon. Speakers there will include State Rep. Emma Greenman, Congresswoman Betty McCollum, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter and singer Katy Vernon.

Asked about the protests, the White House said in a statement that “President Trump’s position is clear: he will always protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid for eligible beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the Democrats’ stance is giving Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare benefits to illegal aliens, which will bankrupt these programs and crush American seniors.”

For Mitchell McMillen, 65, who retired from a career in marketing, Saturday’s protest means more than sending a message. McMillen said many who voted for Trump are rethinking their decision, with one friend asking how they could take part in Saturday’s rally. Many others are fed up with the state of affairs, but McMillen said the rally could represent a turning point in history.

“I look at him [my 18-month-old grandson] every single time and I go, ‘Oh my god, what’s his future going to be?” McMillen said, adding that his grandson’s future motivated him to rally.

“It’s coming up to that tipping point … some change is going to happen.”
