Millions of "Hands Off!" protesters, by organizers' count, took to the streets, state capitals, federal buildings, congressional offices and city centers to protest the Trump administration on Saturday.
Why it matters: President Trump's political, economic, social, health and legal changes have mobilized a wide cross-section of Americans.
What they're saying: "We are seeing estimates go beyond what was anticipated," organizers told Axios in an email Saturday. "We had about 2,000 RSVPs for cities like Raleigh, where we saw 45,000 show up.
- "DC and NYC are well over 100,000 attendees, each."
- The total attendance estimate far surpasses the 500,000 RSVPs organizers counted as of Friday night.
By the numbers: More than 1,100 rallies, visibility events and meetings were scheduled in all 50 states as of Wednesday.
- Dozens of advocacy organizations are supporting the mass mobilization against Trump policies.
Protesters are also rallying against Elon Musk's involvement in the federal government as an unelected official leading DOGE.
Context: The anticipated protests prompted the White House to reschedule its Saturday spring garden tours.
