| The BIG DAY is coming! If you haven’t heard about April 5, here’s the quick summary. It’s the big rally, happening nationwide at over a thousand locations. You can find places, sign materials, and more here: https://handsoff2025.com/ Please, share with your friends and family and encourage them to attend! DC will be the focus, of course. Many will need to choose between a big rally further away or a small rally nearby. I believe the bigger the crowd sizes, the greater the effect, so I suggest attending the largest rally you can. That said, standing alone on a street corner with a sign has more of impact that staying inside 😉 |

Sign Making Parties
| There are some sign making parties in the area, if you’re interested. April 4th: 4:30 – 8 PM, Chevy Chase Community Center. 5 – 6 PM Silver Spring 6:30 – 9:30 PM Alexandria. April 5th: Pre Rally Protest and SIgn Making, 9:30 – 11:30 AM, DC, $15 |
Be Prepared!
Bring water, a snack, rest up. I often hear that if you get arrested at a DC protest (not that this is expected!), the fee is often $50, which you can pay and go home, so bring at least $50 cash.
If you see me with my Trumptopus sign, say hello! I also have some &Democracy cards to hand out to get people on board (thanks Lakshmi for making these!) If you can help me distribute them, I’d appreciate it!

Lastly
We have two Signal chats, one for general discussion and one for rapid response messaging. I no longer want to share links publicly, but if you’re interested, please contact me or another &Democracy separately.
Hope to see you Saturday!
