Hands Off!” rallies took place in Chicago, Boston, Washington, D.C., New York City and other cities across the country on Saturday.

Thousands of people joined "Hands Off!" protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk across Southern California on Saturday.

Those balloons, along with an expected thousands of protesters in downtown Los Angeles, are part of the nationwide day of demonstrations, aimed at pushing back against the Trump administration’s spending cuts and mass layoffs of federal workers, which protesters say are threatening essential public services and social safety nets.

The statewide demonstrations on April 5 are variations of national protests condemning MAGA and actions taken by the Trump administration.
