    The team that put this together did an amazing job. It’s got a great name because it appeals to all people who are upset. It also brings everyone together and what a great turn out. Good job 50501

    Edit: Good job coalition:

    The Hands Off protests were led by a nationwide coalition of organizations, including civil rights organizations, veterans, women’s rights groups, labor unions, and LGBTQ+ advocates, for example Indivisible.[3] The protests were in response to what the organisers saw as the administration’s overreach on many issues: NATO; schools; libraries; courts; veteran services; fair elections; transgender rights; Social Security; Medicare; Medicaid; the federal workforce; abortion rights; and many others.[4] In a document, organizers said that they had three demands: “an end to the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration; an end to slashing federal funds for Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs working people rely on; and an end to the attacks on immigrants, trans people, and other communities.”[3]
