Opponents of President Trump and Elon Musk rallied at the Colorado State Capitol building on Saturday for a ‘Hands Off!’ protest. The protest was organized by several groups and aimed to criticize the Trump administration’s actions, including firing federal workers, closing Social Security Administration offices, deporting immigrants, scaling back protections for transgender people, and cutting federal health program funding.
Elon Musk, a Trump adviser, defended government downsizing as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, claiming to save taxpayers billions. The White House released a statement prior to the protest, affirming protection for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid recipients.
The rally was a second demonstration following previous protests in Colorado and nationwide. Organizers and attendees expressed concerns over the impact of these policies on vulnerable populations and emphasized the importance of standing up against such actions. The Associated Press reported on the event, highlighting the voices of those advocating for social justice and government accountability.
