For those interested in participating in the nationwide “Hands Off!” rally and protests Saturday, April 5, there are two local events scheduled:
– In downtown Edmonds, there will be a rally at Civic Center Park, 6th Avenue North and Bell Street, starting at 1 p.m., followed by a march to the waterfront. Edmonds’ European travel guide Rick Steves will emcee the event.
– In Shoreline, attendees will meet at the corner of Aurora Avenue North and North 205th Street (near Aurora Village), also at 1 p.m.
From the “Hands Off!” website:
“This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.”
Thank you…exactly what I have been asking for, a group saying this is wrong, more than that, it’s simply not acceptable and outrageous. Thank you again. I am SO behind your efforts!
We are $37 trillion in debt. ‘nuf said
Dusting off my protest abilities from the 60’s. Never in my lifetime has there been a more urgent need for mass protests by the people rising up to say, ” this is wrong on ALL levels!”
The Republicans, for many many years has dipped into our Social Security for their own needs.
Your argument seems one-sided and uninformed, assuming only Republicans are guilty of misusing funds. Democrats, including Biden, Harris, and Inslee, have also been accused of mismanaging taxpayer money, social security, and state finances. Washington’s current economic struggles and tax hikes by governor ferguson highlight poor governance and potential misuse of funds across party lines. While not all leaders are corrupt, many from both sides contribute to these issues. Citizens should have greater influence over government decisions, especially regarding finances like taxes and social security. Transparency and accountability are essential, as the government is meant to serve the people.
Thanks for creating the venue opportunity
Great rally. They expected 300. There were multiples of that.
