What: On April 5, national and local organizations are coming together across the country for Hands Off! a peaceful mass activation in defiance of the Trump-Musk billionaire takeover and the Republican assault on our freedoms and our communities.

According to the organizers of Boston’s Hands Off!:
“On April 5, We the People of Massachusetts will march in Boston. Because we will always be a sanctuary against tyranny. Because we will protect our neighbors, no matter where they were born or their race or gender or sexuality. Because we will never bow to tyrant kings or fascism. Because in the words of Boston’s mayor: “If you come for one of us, you will get all of us.” On April 5, We the People of Massachusetts will come together to tell the corrupt, cruel, chaotic tyrants in DC: Hands Off Boston! Hands Off Massachusetts! Because ‘We the People’ means everyone, and Massachusetts is fighting back.”
Who: Boston’s Hands Off! is organized by the Indivisible Mass Coalition, Mass 50501, Swing Blue Alliance, and UU Mass Action, and a growing list of co-sponsor organizations representing many groups, causes, and communities from across the Commonwealth.
