‘Hands Off’ Protest Against Trump & Musk Planned In Red Bank

RED BANK, NJ — A national day of protest against President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their allies is set to include a local rally in Red Bank on Saturday.

The protest is part of the “Hands Off!” demonstrations planned throughout the nation on Saturday (April 5). The rally planned in Red Bank will take place at Riverside Gardens Park from 1-3 p.m.

Organizers say this mass mobilization is their message to the world that they “do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies.”

“They're taking everything they can get their hands on — our health care, our data, our jobs, our services — and daring the world to stop them,” organizers said. “This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.”

A core principle behind all “Hands Off!” events is a commitment to nonviolent action, organizers said. According to event officials, organizers expect all participants to “seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.”

Other “Hands Off!” protests planned throughout New Jersey include Galloway, Morristown, Ocean City, Maplewood-South Orange, and more.
