‘Hands Off’ rallies held all over the nation and in North Dakota
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – Groups around the nation gathered at different locations, including the North Dakota Capitol, to participate in “Hands Off” rallies.
More than a thousand people gathered at the Capitol Saturday to call upon the Trump Administration and DOGE to keep their hands off the jobs of millions of people around the nation, and programs like Social Security and Medicaid.
The Democratic-NPL helped organize the protest.
A couple hundred people also gathered in Minot for a similar demonstration against the Trump administration’s actions.
Nationwide, the 50501 movement led 50 protests in 50 states under one movement.
This comes after more than 275,000 layoffs were announced last month by DOGE, according to CNN. DOGE continues to make funding cuts to different programs including the National Endowment for the Humanities, which will cause organizations like Humanities North Dakota to shut down, according to Jason Thoms, executive director of the Dakota West Arts Council.
Forbes Magazine says more than 26,000 of those people will return to work.
Neighboring states like Montana and South Dakota also participated in the rallies.
On Sunday, Pres. Trump posted the following statement on Truth Social:
“We have massive Financial Deficits with China, the European Union, and many others. The only way this problem can be cured is with TARIFFS, which are now bringing Tens of Billions of Dollars into the U.S.A. They are already in effect, and a beautiful thing to behold. The Surplus with these Countries has grown during the “Presidency” of Sleepy Joe Biden. We are going to reverse it, and reverse it QUICKLY. Some day people will realize that Tariffs, for the United States of America, are a very beautiful thing!”
