The demonstrators have demanded an end to βrampant corruptionβ and sweeping federal cuts
Thousands of Americans have taken to the streets across the country to protest against the economic and social policies of US President Donald Trump and his close ally Elon Musk. The organizers claim Trumpβs βpower grabβ has plunged the country into a full-blown crisis.
The march, dubbed βHands Off!β and organized by more than 150 different activist groups, took place on Saturday and spanned all 50 of the United States in more than 1,200 locations, with some rallies taking place beyond the US.
The demonstrators railed at what they described as an βillegal power grabβ and βcoupβ by Trump and Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), who initiated thousands of state sector layoffs in a bid to balance the US federal budget.
