With more than 600 events planned across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and multiple international cities, the message is unified and urgent: Hands off our rights, our resources, and our democracy. Organizers say the April 5 movement builds on growing frustration with the Trump administration’s agenda. The Crowd Counting Consortium reported over 2,085 protests nationwide in February 2025, a sharp rise from the 937 recorded in February 2017. “We stand with people of color and all those being stripped of their basic human and civil rights,” Buffalo organizers stated. “We’re not waiting for someone to save us,” D.C. organizers said.
