This Saturday, April 19, 2025, a nationwide protest is scheduled in the USA. This is a grass roots effort as we rise up to stand against the atrocities taking place in the current administration.

The poster below shows what is happening in my state, New Jersey. You can search for protests happening near you by visiting fiftyfifty.one or indivisible.org.

Let's all try to get out there before we lose the right to protest! Let your voice be heard!

On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.

We are committed to building our peaceful People’s Movement and achieving 3.5% participation. History shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

Follow to join our Movement, and save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th.

The next National Day of Action is reportedly #April19 (I can’t find official confirmation of that date yet, please share if you do!). The goal is for 3.5% of the population to join in, so let’s make the next one even bigger!!

Curious why 3.5%? More info here: bbc.com/future/article/2019051

So, does the sparse news media coverage of #HandsOff count as a demonstration of Gil Scott-Heron's point in his spoken word piece "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" ?

The first I could tell that Seattle had a huge turnout was that the Saturday bus runs were twenty minutes late and completely full.
