Saturday's protest came one week after Trump critics confronted U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz at a town hall meeting at Muncie City Hall.

More than 1,200 “Hands Off!” demonstrations were planned by more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and elections activists. The protest sites included the National Mall in Washington, D.C., state capitols and other locations in all 50 states.

Millions of "Hands Off!" protesters, by organizers' count, took to the streets, state capitals, federal buildings, congressional offices and city centers to protest the Trump administration on Saturday. Why it matters: President Trump's political, economic, social, health and legal changes have mobilized a wide cross-section of Americans.

Over 1,400 protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are expected across all 50 states on Saturday, organized by a pro-democracy movement in response to what organizers call a “hostile takeover” and attack on American rights and freedoms.

Anger about tariffs and the market crash peppered some of the signs at the Chicago "Hands Off" protest Saturday, alongside more traditional economic protest messages about taxing and eating the rich.

The goal: to speak out against Trump’s policies about two months into his return to the White House, including his hot-button push for tariffs, the steep drops in the stock market, and the vast and controversial federal government overhaul being overseen by Elon Musk at the new Department of Government Efficiency.
