Metro Detroiters gathered on Saturday for a rally and march down Woodward Avenue against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. According to organizers, the nationwide “Hands Off!” day of action demanded “an end to the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration; an end to slashing federal funds for Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs working people rely on; and an end to the attacks on immigrants, trans people, and other communities.” Others at the event protested the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine and some were also critical of Democratic Party leadership as well. Detroit’s was one of more than 1,400 protests held in cities around the world.
