🧡 Strategic Partner Event: HANDS OFF! RALLY
G4GVP signed up to be a partner in this nationwide event.
Hands Off Boston! Hands Off Massachusetts! Hands Off America!
On Saturday, April 5th, we're joining forces to make our voices heard once again: - Hands off our neighbors! - Hands off our country! - Hands off our wallets! - Hands off our rights!
This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our democracy, our government, or our economy for the benefit of Trump's burgeoning fascist oligarchy. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop to the cruelty and chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.
BRING SIGNS, YOUR VOICE, YOUR G4GVP T or any Orange T!
