Local Indivisible Groups Rally To Tell Trump, Musk 'Hands Off'
ONEONTA—On Saturday, April 5 in Oneonta's Muller Plaza CooperstownOneonta Indivisible, Butternut Valley Indivisible, Cherry Valley Indivisible, Indivisible for Schoharie County, and Otsego Residents for Democracy are hosting a rally joining thousands of similar gatherings across the country to tell President Donald Trump and Elon Musk “hands off” public services and democracy.
The Oneonta rally, scheduled from noon to 2 p.m., is part of a national day of “Hands Off!” rallies mobilized by Indivisible, Moveon, 50501 and other national organizations. The events seek to raise awareness of what protestors consider to be the unconstitutional and damaging policies of the Trump administration, calling attention to what they view as radical and unprecedented gutting by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, of federal agencies, grants, and services that most Americans rely on. The day of protest is also intended to hold Trump to account for what participants believe to be his unconstitutional executive orders and attacks on democracy.
