On Sat., April 5, please join us in a nationwide protest against the actions of the Trump/Musk administration. The 50501 movement, which stands for “50 protests, 50 states, one movement,” is organizing protests against the anti-democratic & illegal actions of the Trump administration in every state capitol & in major cities across the U.S. There are 3 protest sites in St. Louis that day.

Two of the protests are organized by Hands Off, as well as by 50501. Multiple groups are working together to organize the protests.

Hands Off is protesting from 11 AM – 2 PM at the intersection of Manchester Rd. & Weidman Road, 14001 Manchester Rd., Ballwin. This is a bit south & west of Congresswoman Ann Wagner’s office. Parking will be in shopping centers east & west of that intersection. There will be some walking required to get from the shopping center parking lots to the protest site. More here

Another Hands Off protest on April 5, is in Brentwood, along Brentwood Blvd. just south of I-40/64. People will meet near Michael’s craft store at 1519 S Brentwood Blvd. at 10:30 AM & protest from 10:45 – 1:30. Protesters are told to bring signs & cowbells or other noise makers. This is a good protest to attend if you can’t walk far because you can park in the parking lot next to the protest site on Brentwood Blvd.
