We see you all! Incredible turnout so far across the country — current estimates put participation at around 750,000 and counting! More accurate numbers are still coming in, with many events yet to begin.

Updated estimates now put turnout at 1.55 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us!
The goal of this Administration is to destroy the economy and sell off our assets piece by piece. Then he will force retirees into the streets and kill off the "Parasites"
I just saw some coverage on the main Dutch evening news, with some images and interviews from Washington. The presenter was wondering whether this is the beginning of a growing movement (I shall keep my fingers crossed for you that it is).
California hasn't even started! It is only 11:30 and most don't start until noon or 1 pm. Expect at least a million from the West Coast. Traffic already a mess around the #HandsOff sites near me.
Does this number include those in the virtual rallies? Please count our disabled folx and those otherwise unable to attend in person but attending virtually! 💙
Thank you for mentioning this. I have a disability, last time I marched for George Floyd, couldn't make it to the end. I watched the entire DC rally, though. Congressman Al Green was very inspiring!
This is momentum, and this is change. Guarantee the Republican inner circle is noticing, even if the talking heads don't talk about it. #handsoff #usprotests
"Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty." Samuel Adams
Don't know why, but it puts me in mind of that scene from the start of Lock Stock "left leg, right leg, your body will follow .. that's it, they're waking up!"
It’s a little disjointed- some are just getting started, full counts are not in. It’s like watching NYE. I also saw a post that one was rescheduled due to extreme weather.
As MAGA is MABA Making America Burn Again, will true America rise like the Phoenix and MAPA Make America Proud Again
America needs more Rosa Parks, from every single aspect of America life to unify the nation, defend everyone Civil rights, MACA Make America Civil Again, will you make MAPA.
Murfreesboro,TN. Last Month 8 people went out to protest. Today, more than 100 came out.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 To those who fight in small 🔴 places and didn’t give up. ✊🏼🪧
300 marching in the rain in tiny Mount Vernon Ohio (pop 16k, 70% voted for Trump), with many many honking drivers supporting us. A mix of ages but heavy on the older folks, light on the college student age #handsoff
This is a picture from Bennington - it doesn’t show the size of the crowd well, but you get the idea. It was a cold wet morning, but no one seemed to mind too much.
and just to be clear, it is good anything is happening in US, but until 20 000 000 ppl will go on streets, nothjng will change. Hard work in front of you
Nothing happens without buildup. It's so frustrating to watch things fall apart in the meantime, but that doesn't mean that what we have is meaningless
so where are all the ppl ? what is doing democrats senators and congressmans ? sorry, except Cory Booker, nothing worth mentioning. It is not only about what thinks Americans anymore. It is what see rest of the world, and rest of the world sees: tiny protests.
Bullshit. There are something like 750,000 people in the streets of 50 US capitols RIGHT NOW, TODAY. "what see rest of world" should stop believing the mainstream media.
Very red county in Northeast PA. Small town and people showed. The most encouraging part was the amount of people beeping and waving in support. Far outweighed the few nasty ones.
Maybe the tide is turning 💙
It's not just that the tide is turning. It's that you're out there helping turn that tide. Much respect for the people leading the charge in small town America. #handsoff #usprotests #handsoffPA
I live in a community of about 3000 and there’s a turnout. Mostly seniors too. Not bad for a small, isolated desert community with a seasonal population.
TBH there was little media coverage in advance (what did happen happened mainly last night) so this is a good first outing for it being simply word of mouth, FB, or Reddit. More #protests are coming 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
Shoutout to everyone out at the #HandsOff protests. You’re doing the work. These insane Trump tariffs are nothing but economic sabotage—hurting workers, farmers, and small businesses. He’s never built anything but chaos. Keep fighting. #StopTheTariffs
The big city turnouts are impressive but expected. The folks in small town America having the guts to make their voices heard in their communities is more important, IMO.
The US covers three time zones. People in California protest about now (3:00 pm) while it is 6:00 pm in TX.It takes awhile for our total numbers identified: 16,486 incorporated places, or "small towns," with populations under 10,000, representing 85% of the total 19,509 incorporated places.
I hope we have over a million show up. If we could get 3.5% of the population to show up that would be amazing. I hope this movement builds and builds. Let’s go!!!
That’s what I’m talking about. It might take a little time to get 11 million out there. We must get there. Now if the country would do a general strike for a week.
1. Like #VietnamWar #protests, this cannot just be a one off. It must continue.
2. How 🔥 #violent 🔥 will #FelonRapistTraitorTrump get in response? The #InsurrectionAct is looming on or near April 20th at the end of the 90 day waiting period. #military
I estimate about 300 at our rally in a deep red town in central Texas. Lots of positive reactions from folks driving by, only a few hecklers and middle fingers.
I went to my first protest ever! You know it’s serious when the introverts like me start marching! We had a couple thousand at least in chilly, rainy cincinnati today. It was so successful. Lots of bystanders joined us as we marched and cars were honking in support. I almost teared up a few times.
Yes! Thank you for going! It's why I want to share - if it's safe for me to do so. I'm boosting photos and posts from all over AZ, including the smaller rallies in Page, Show Low, Bullhead City.
We need to see more like 75 million protesting. 750,000 just isn't enough. What is it going to take. Wait till SNAP is gone? Wait till Social Security and Medicaid is gone? Wait till eggs are $20 a dozen? What?
Yes it’s just horrible that thousands across the country are turning out. And that momentum will grow. We should all just say fuck it because only a million people turn out.
If we as a people don't continue to show our force, this protest will become a footnote in history. We should be doing this weekly until the Right comes to grips with the facts of what Trump is doing to this country. Wisconsin and Florida should have been a wakeup call that if united we can make
a difference. In Florida those were +30 for Trump districts that ended up being just over double digits. That's real movement. In Wisconsin, a race Musk poured over 20 million into, paid for voters and the Dem still won. And the worse the economy gets, if we don't come up with a cohesive message
CREATOR GOD ALMIGHTY PLEASE KEEP OUR RESISTANCE SAFE. LET NO WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST US PROSPER.. PLEASE KEEP US STRONG AND FOCUSED. LET OUR FIGHT AGAINST EVIL BRING US VICTORY. IN THE MATCHLESS AND ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST A'HO AND AMEN 🙏🙏
F yeah, PA! I almost made the drive, but decided to stay in the Lehigh Valley and represent home. We did good today. <3 I'll see you all at the next one.
I was intentionally going to head to Harrisburg until my county popped up, Lancaster at Penn Square. My pictures don't give justice to the number as we were on all corners and lined down the streets off the Square.
No idea what the actual numbers were for the whole Lehigh Valley area since we had multiple protests scheduled within a half hour drive of each other. But Allentown, PA SHOWED UP! Had to have been a few hundred in the wind and rain. With plenty of drive by support.
What former Soviet countries, south American countries, and south East Asian countries have shown, is if you REALLY want change, protests MUST BE MASSIVE AND PROLONGED!
Let's see how many people are still protesting in mass on Tuesday!!!!
Very large turnout in Richmond, VA, on the Capitol grounds & then marching down Main St (only some could fit on sidewalks) to Monroe Park. As usual, some amazing signs
We'll always love our friends across the pond. No matter what hateful idiocy the Fanta fascist and his army of boot lickers decide to spew. Much love, and thank you.
That’s awesome! I am a short person, so I couldn’t quite see everyone, but there were a lot of people! And we got a lot of love from people driving by!

Perhaps 1000 people lined the street in front of our representative’s office (who won’t hold any town halls)

The leader is deranged.
MAGA is a cult.
Trump is mentally unfit.
Remove Trump before he pulls a Jim Jones.
Great turnout in the hundreds for a small, red, fascist county!
Let's go!
