Thousands Says Hands Off to Trump at Capitol in Albany

On Saturday April 5, more than a million people came together in more than 1200 events nationwide to tell President Trump and Elon Musk Hands off! Organizers said this was a nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history, an all-out assault on our government, our economy, and our basic rights—enabled by Congress every step of the way. Several thousand braved chilling rain at the State Capitol in Albany to deliver that message. We hear from Matt Oill of Socialist Alternative; a representative of 50501; Laurel Wilson of Indivisible; Deyva Arthur of the Green Party; Adam Pelletier of the Federalist Union Network; Fred Kowal of United University Professions; Mark Emanation of Capital District Area Labor Federation; and Jamaica Miles of All of Us.
