Hands Off! Global Protest

Apr 06, 2025

Despite the rain, it is estimated that more than 100,000 people filled the streets of NYC for the Hands Off! march - and more around the world—an unforgettable day of energy, unity, purpose and joyful resistance. VID showed up in force alongside fellow New Yorkers, elected officials, Democratic clubs, unions, and grassroots activist partners, Markers for Democracy, Downtown Nasty Women, Team Min, The Wednesday Group and many more to defend democracy and demand accountability. Check out the photos of our members, the signs from NY and beyond, and the joy of the day!

There’s more work ahead because the stakes are higher than ever. But every action is a step in the right direction. To quote Sen. Booker, “Never let your inability to do everything undermine your determination to do something. Greatness lies in the doing, not the doubting.”

Special thanks to Rise & Resist for marshaling this massive march and for always working hard to keep us safe in the streets.
