In America we’ll be paying the same income taxes as always PLUS price increases to cover trump’s tariffs.

In return we’ll receive fewer government services due to trump firings and illegally refusing to spend $$ directed by Congress to pay for those services.

All this pain is to give a few billionaires tax cuts, or because we elected an incompetent as president, or both!

They're taking *everything* they can get their hands on—our rights, our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. But as Mayor Wu put it — two weeks after standing up for Boston’s immigrants in Congress and one week after Boston became a sanctuary city for the LGBTQ+ community — “No one tells Boston how to take care of our own, not kings, and not presidents who think they are kings… God save whoever messes with Boston.” On Saturday, April 5th, a coalition of Massachusetts resistance groups is taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! Because we will always protect our neighbors, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, origin, background, status, disability, religion or lack thereof. Massachusetts is ready to protect democracy—and we the people are ready to show up. **We the People** means ***EVERYBODY!*** **And we need your support to make this happen. Please help us rent the equipment we need to make this event as accessible to as many people as possible by [donating here!](https://secure.actblue.com/donate/handsoffboston)** **Co-Sponsors:** • Indivisible Mass Coalition • Mass 50501 • Swing Blue Alliance • UU Mass Action • [And many more!](https://docs.google.com/document/d/14li-zLQXoKFzkBMV4OqrnewXTc8kExequ0zzKg6kIhc/edit?tab=t.0) Sign up [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd678fb0AUXo7fTMxpvPv4YULGatuAmajaVJdb6H8JtshMSpA/viewform?usp=header) to join our growing list of co-sponsors! **This is a nonviolent action.** We expect **ALL** participants to remain **peaceful** and to try to de-escalate any potential confrontations. **Transportation:** [Western Mass](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YnkMiv3K12HMBpklTcOKI007c-cr6j289YfIP8zhiYc/) [MetroWest](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ipWCbrVGM1of0fSsXA5sdLraTye-W-whDz4SpZgPFXo/) *More areas coming soon!* **How to Prepare:** • Bring signs → Make your message visible! • Recruit friends → The more people, the more power. • Record everything (except faces when possible)→ Post photos/videos with #HandsOff #HandsOff2025 #50501 #Mass50501 #FiftyFiftyOne #BostonTok #Indivisible #SwingBlue **FAQ** **Q**: Why is there a butterfly on your flyer? **A**: The monarch butterfly represents the dignity and resilience of migrants and the right that all living beings have to move freely. **Q**: What should we bring? **A**: Bring your flags! American, Pride, Earth, etc. Bring your signs! And bring water and a snack! Dress for the weather! **Q**: Will there be ASL Interpretation? **A**: ASL interpretation will be available during speeches at the Boston Common and at City Hall Plaza, with the interpreters positioned within view of the accessibility areas at both locations. **Q**: How long is the march and is it accessible? **A**: Most of the crowd will gather on Boston Common beginning at 11 am. After a brief speaking segment on the Common, the .9-mile march will begin at approximately 11:25 am and arrive at approximately 12:30 pm. The march route will be accessible, with curb-cuts for transitions from marching on sidewalks to the streets. Most of the route is paved, but there are sections with a relatively flat brick surface. Along the route, participants can move between the road and sidewalks via curb-cuts as they prefer. If they would prefer not to participate in the march, participants can also go directly to City Hall Plaza, the end point of the march and the location of the rally. An alternative route from Boston Common is available via sidewalks that avoid brick areas. It is also possible to take the T from Boston Common to Government Center, which is a wheelchair accessible station. **Q**: I am disabled/neurodivergent and want to attend. What can I expect, and how much accessibility support will there be?  **A**: This event may involve 10,000 or more people participating in a march from Boston Common to City Hall Plaza for a rally. These are wheelchair accessible public locations. Both sites will have a designated accessibility area near the stage. At the Boston Common, this area will be both a central location to answer questions about accessibility and to find support for access needs, and a space for disabled individuals and their allies to gather if they would like to march together in community. The accessibility area at City Hall Plaza will have a small number of chairs for those who need to sit during the rally and will be the location where our ASL interpreters will be located. There will be a team of accessibility team volunteers at these locations whose goal is to support the community and accommodate as many access needs as we can.

Can’t make it to DC for Saturday’s Hands Off March? No worries! Most likely, you can find one by you.
The world thinks the American public has simply kneeled to the destruction wreaked by the orange rapist and his elk. On Sat we gather!! And make some noise!
I will be heading to my state capital this Sat. “The power of the people is greater than people in power.” - Cory Booker
Tell this soulless admin, Hands OFF!! the programs that make us human.

mas.tojiujensu🇵🇸 (@jiujensu@mas.to)Attached: 2 images 1/4 People are celebrating #Booker &the great #filibuster caper. That's fine. They're desperate for a hero w Schumer asleep at the wheel or rather driving drunk under the influence of #Zionist #fascism. Did the record deserve to be broken and held by anyone other than a segregationist? Sure. Please understand that ICE disappearing legal residents is directly related to #Zionism, to which Booker & many in Congress pledge allegiance with every vote & dollar every day. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH7QMOmvVdk/
