There may be a protest very near you.

(3:30)

I was checking a couple of days ago. Iowa had added events in Red Oak, Council Bluffs, Mount Vernon, Lisbon, Waterloo, Decorah, and Maquoketa. 

These were in addition to events in Des Moines, Ames, Cedar Rapids, Mason City, Ames, Iowa City, Davenport (and Rock Island) and Dubuque.

There are even a surprising number of events in our very MAGA neighbors such as Nebraska and northern Missouri. 

Nebraska is having events in Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings, Kearney, and North Platte

Northern Missouri will have events in Kirksville, Quincy and Hannibal.

Even South Dakota has events, including one near Iowa in Sioux Falls.

All the locations can be found on the Indivisible map by diving into the map, clicking on the city and then click on the poster that pops up.

There should be a true cross section of America at the event because Musk and his co-president Trump have screwed over just about every slice of citizens in their quest for unquestioned power. The tariffs announced Wednesday really hurt all Americans but especially farmers and small business people. 

Thanks to those tariffs every American just got a huge tax hike. Remember when MAGA used to claim they wouldn’t raise taxes. Well we all just took it in the shorts. No better time to let them know what you think than today. And look at your retirement account – you have been robbed!

The disabled have really been screwed over. The retired are currently in Musk’s vice on Social Security. What will he do and what can the retired do? Let ‘em know! What about students? From pre-school to post-grad funds and programs are being slashed willy-nilly without any logical reasoning.

From the Indivisible blurb:

About this event

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. Ames is fighting back!

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. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.

🚨 On Saturday, April 5th, we’re taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! 🚨

📍 Where: Bandshell Park – 125 E 5th St, Ames, IA 50010 📅 When: 10 am April 5, 2025

This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies.

 

Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.

A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
