Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They’re taking everything they can get their hands on, claiming anything standing in their way is illegal, and daring the American people to stop them.
On Saturday, April 5, we’re taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: “Hands off!”

LGBTQ communities, backed by our loved ones, are fighting for a world where everyone can thrive. The current administration is trying to divide us in order to rule us. They are targeting transgender people with illegal executive actions that restrict our access to health care, jobs, and our true identities, while also attacking migrant, Black and Muslim folks. They are trying to overwhelm and divide us, but we have power together.
