The Oregon weather cooperated fully on April 5, 2025. But then, by the measure of the crowds—more than 10,000 in downtown Portland alone—it’s certain rain would have done nothing to stop the success of the Hands Off! rallies and marches.
Third Act Oregon members were out there, in multiple locations across the Portland Metro region, Eugene, Corvallis, Bend, and other communities. In fact, there were more than forty Hands Off! events across the state that day.
Hands Off was organized by 50501, Indivisible, and many other groups or individuals across the state. A true testament to many different groups and individuals finding a way to participate in large cities and small towns all across the nation.
According to organizers, the April Fifth Hands Off! event drew between 3 and 5 million protestors nationwide. And future protest demonstrations will be scheduled regularly, until changes take place in our federal and state governments that serve the people and not the oligarchs.
Thank you to all that came out for the April 5th Hands Off! rallies and marches across the state.
A reminder there continue to be Tesla Takedown rallies and Social Security rallies happening weekly.
