On April 5, demonstrators rallied across the United States for the Hands Off events, protesting against Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s perceived authoritarian actions. Despite hundreds of thousands participating, mainstream US media largely downplayed the protests, with outlets like the New York Times and Fox News offering minimal coverage. However, international media showed greater interest. Following this overlooked event, a coordinated nationwide protest dubbed No Kings day is set, aiming to reject authoritarianism and involving over 100 pro-democracy groups, reflecting rising urgency for citizen activism against government actions.
On 5 April, Hands Off events protesting Trump and Musk saw hundreds of thousands of Americans gather, but US media largely dismissed the significance of the protests.
Despite the massive turnout, major US news outlets like the New York Times and Fox News provided minimal coverage, prompting questions about media prioritization.
Amid this media indifference, a new nationwide protest is planned, targeting authoritarianism and uniting over 100 pro-democracy groups across 1,500 locations.
Organizers hope to highlight discontent towards Trump's planned military parade and reaffirm a commitment to citizen action against perceived authoritarianism.
