Here are just some of the quotes from participants of the Hands Off protest on April 5, 2025.
“We swear an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.” – Chris, a veteran
“Just getting these crazy emails from Elon and DOGE, mocking us.” – A federal worker, who asked not to be named out of fear of retaliation
“There’s a blitzkrieg happening in government, and this is one tiny thing I can do about it.” – Michelle, a San Francisco #HandsOff protestor
Veterans, federal workers, organizers and activists, costume lovers, and many more were among the thousands and thousands out in San Francisco, CA for the #HandsOff protest. We spoke with them!
Hear them in their own voice—watch!
