HANDS OFF OUR DEMOCRACY - NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK SHOWS UP & TURNS OUT

Hands Off Mobilize x 50501 x People’s March x Rise&Resist are coming together for HANDS OFF OUR DEMOCRACY.

You joined us on January 18th,
We are counting on you to join us again.

We march for many reasons but all for the same cause: defending our rights, our freedom and our future.

If you believe that decisions about your body should remain yours, that clean air and water are rights—not privileges, that libraries should hold knowledge—not censorship, that gun violence must end, that healthcare & economic dignity are fundamental human rights— and that an oligarchy led dictatorship is NOT “making America great again” then this march is for you.

This is about our collective power and centering the communities that have always been at the frontlines of change. 
Black and Brown voices, Women, Trans & Queer youth, Immigrants,  and working-class people have always been the backbone of resistance. 
Today, we rise together to demand a future where everyone is free to exist & thrive.

This is why we march:
To fight an oligarchy aligned dictatorship from bulldozing our constitutional rights
•To stop mass deportations, unjust imprisonment & create a safe pathway for gaining US citizenship.
 • To demand racial justice and honor the leadership of frontline Black and Brown communities.
 • To defend women’s/trans rights. Our reproductive freedom equals the right to decide if and when to have children.
 • To fight for economic justice, fair wages and the right to retire in dignity.
 • To demand action on climate justice and ensure future generations have clean air and water.
 • To uphold the freedom to live without fear of gun violence or police brutality.
 • To protect our democracy and ensure every vote counts.
 • To stand in solidarity with trans and queer youth and defend their freedom to be themselves without fear.
  •  To guarantee healthcare & education are rights for all, without bias.
  • To recognize that people with disabilities face discrimination, lack of access and exclusion.
•Separation of church and state

This is our moment to remind Washington elites, MAGA & Musk —where the power truly lives: with the people.

THE PLAN
 • Meet at Bryant Park @ 1PM sharp
 •March south to Madison Square Park

This is a rain or shine event—dress comfortably and accordingly!

This is a nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation.
