People gather to protest the Trump Administration and Elon Musk at the Mississippi State Capitol in Jackson, Miss., on Monday, Feb. 17, 2025.
Protests against President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, are planned April 5 nationwide. Multiple events will happen across Mississippi.
The new protests are planned for Saturday, April 5 are billed as the Hands Off Mass Mobilization. Some organizers are using the hashtags “#HandsOff” and “#HandsOff2025” on social media. Others are calling it People’s Veto Day.
The 50501 Movement organized protests in each state on Feb. 5; President’s Day, Feb. 17; and again on March 4. The upcoming events are being organized in partnership with Hands Off! and Women’s March.
Previously, people organized with Voices of Mississippi to speak out against President Donald Trump’s administration and Project 2025 at the Mississippi State Capitol.
The organizers are in opposition to Trump’s goals and policies and cuts that DOGE is making to government agencies under the guidance of Elon Musk.
Local political organizations and 50501 Mississippi have protests and a peaceful march planned this weekend. Here’s what we know.
What is the 50501 Movement?
The protest movement is against Trump’s actions during his first weeks back in office. After a plethora of controversial executive orders and pardons for the Jan. 6 rioters, the 50501 Movement organized to combat Trump’s position in the White House.
Since then, there have been multiple rounds of protests in the Magnolia State and across the nation. (Local event times might differ.)
What are they protesting in Mississippi?
Specific issues cited on posts for the first protests were mass deportations and ICE raids and standing against “homophobia, ableism and sexism.”
The Hands Off Mass Mobilization is seeking protections for Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. More general topics include:
- Jobs and the economy.
- Democracy.
- Citizens’ personal data.
- Veteran services.
- NATO membership.
- Consumer protections.
- Schools and edutaion.
- Free speech.
- Protections for trans individuals.
- Healthcare.
- Clean air and energy.
Elon Musk, under the banner of Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency, is accused of seizing access to financial payment systems key to running the country and personal data of citizens and government employees. Deep cuts to government jobs, grant distributions, contracts and real estate leases are being contested.
Where are the protests in Mississippi? When do they start?

No. 6 Ole Miss (10-1, 6-1 SEC) will square off against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Friday in Starkville for an Egg Bowl matchup at Davis Wade Stadium.
Lane Kiffin and Co. will look to cancel out the outside chatter with an opportunity to capture a victory and punch their ticket to the College Football Playoff.
Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy is in the midst of a historic season for the Rebels with the fiery offensive weapon looking to once again lead the program in Week 14.
“It comes with having a support system, like my coaches, just trusting and believing in me,” Lacy said of his success this season. “Coming in here, putting in long hours of watching film with my coaches. Going through walkthroughs.
“It’s just a great feeling coming out here and showing what I to do and having the ability with my offensive line and the receivers. Showing it out there and going 1-0 [each week].”
Now, as the outside buzz swirls surrounding Kiffin’s future, the betting odds have been adjusted for Friday’s matchup against Mississippi State.
Matchup: Ole Miss Rebels at Mississippi State Bulldogs
Kickoff Time: 11 a.m. CT
Venue: Davis Wade Stadium – Starkville (Miss.)

Ole Miss is currently listed as 7.5-point favorites on the road against a struggling Mississippi State Bulldogs squad
The over/under for the matchup sits at 63.5 with the Ole Miss offense looking to wreak havoc against the Bulldogs.
“I mean, you say that, but people said the same thing about the Florida game – that there was all these distractions and how can a team focus – and I think they played pretty well,” Kiffin said Monday.
“I don’t have anything more to say about that. But I think our team has been very focused since noise has been out there, all the way back to the Oklahoma game and in the tunnel before that, that morning and everything. What are they, 4-0? So, pretty good job by them.”
