Hands Off!  National Day of Action Protest in Menomonie

Hands Off! National Day of Action Protest in Menomonie

SIGN UP HERE: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/event/771889/

It’s time to take action! Join the Dunn Co Democrats at our office on April 5, 12:00pm to get signs, get hyped up and ready to March to near the highway overpass/near the caribou coffee (there is also parking in that lot). The protest will be from 1:00om-2:00pm! See you there!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. We are 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! 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.

“Finding Common Ground Across Political Divides"

This session will focus on practicing conversational skills and increasing confidence to engage in hard discussions. Facilitated by Kathleen Macferran, Certified Trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication (www.StrengthofConnection.com).
