This #fightingoligarchy rally looks to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, serenaded by #NeilYoung and #JoanBaez! There’s also the Civic Center Metro just a block away, so easy to get to. “No bags, signs or firearms allowed,” but plenty of #protestors! #BernieSanders #AlexandriaOcasioCortez #LosAngeles

An estimated 10,000+ protestors gathered downtown L.A. today, one of the many SoCal venues participating in the nationwide #handsoff rallies. Thanks to #ThirdActSoCal members for sending in these photos! #handsofflosangeles #handsoffla #handsoff2025 #HandsOffOurHealthcare #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Los Angeles' South Bay is roughly bounded by LAX airport, LA Harbor and the Harbor Freeway and home to over 1M people (including me). It's also as conservative as Orange County. That 10,000+ people came out to protest is a seismic shift

“The crowd size felt comparable to the Women’s March in DC in January,” said #thirdactsocal member John, who sent in these great crowd shots of the #HandsOff rally downtown L.A. today for us to share. Thanks, John! #HandsOff2025 #handsofflosangeles #handsoffcalifornia #handsoffsocialsecurity

Amazing work today, everyone! Today’s protest was a success—two MAGA individuals were arrested for assaulting peaceful protestors, and three additional investigations are currently underway. We’ve also launched a new task force to investigate any incidents.

Hundreds turned out in Culver City for today’s #handsoffrallies! Both sides of Culver Blvd. in front of City Hall plus the median were lined with protesters 8-10 deep and LOTS of supporting honkers driving by!! #handsoffculvercity #handsoff #handsoff2025. #thirdact #thirdact #thirdactsocal
