What to Know About the April 5 Anti-Trump Protest in DC [View all]

Washingtonian
Jamie Raskin will address a projected rally crowd of 12,500 people on the National Mall.
Thousands of protestors nationwide are expected to participate in a series of anti-Trump demonstrations on Saturday, April 5. The progressive coalition organizing the Hands Off! rallies has planned more than 1,000 events across the country for its National Day of Action, with a flagship protest slated to descend on DC.

As of Monday afternoon, a spokesperson for MoveOn—one of the advocacy groups leading the demonstrations—told Washingtonian that organizers anticipate about 12,500 protestors to attend the National Mall rally. Protestors are encouraged to gather at the Sylvan Theater around 11 AM, and the main program will begin at noon.
