Bring Your Umbrella to Hands Off Protest-Toronto!

BRING YOUR UMBRELLA and join Democrats Abroad Toronto and cities and towns worldwide in the April 5 Hands Off! Protests - join us!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think the United States belongs to them. We are rising up against them.

They're trying to take everything they can get their hands on—our right to vote from abroad, our data, our Social Security—and daring us to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.

We are rising up to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!

This mass mobilization day is a message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside US cities and DA Groups around the world, people are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop to the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country's best values.

Bring a sign, and of course...Bring YOUR VOICE!

We’ll meet in front of the Toronto Courthouse (361 University Ave), across the street from the U.S. Consulate. We'll have rally and a short march along the sidewalks to the Queen and Beaver Public House for our Pints and Politics Social. We’ll walk without obstructing foot traffic, north along University Avenue, East on Dundas Street, North on Bay, East on Elm gathering at the pub. We do not have a permit to march in the streets and are allowed to do so on the sidewalks as long as we don't obstruct traffic/foot traffic. 

 IF THE WEATHER TURNS TO THUNDERSTORMS WE'LL CANCEL. A LITTLE RAIN WILL NOT KEEP US DOWN! Please prepare for some rain. We will notify you if you have RSVPD if you cancel the rally and march. The pub event at 2:30 is still on. 

It's important to RSVP for one or both events so we can follow up with you about the protest and can confirm with the pub our reservation numbers. Thanks!

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change. And change is what we want!
