Video: People gather to protest Trump, Elon Musk and Project 2025
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?

7 top recruits to watch in Saturday’s Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic
Many of the future stars of college football will be competing in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic on Saturday afternoon on the campus of the University of Southern Miss in Hattiesburg.
Alabama Crimson Tide signees are expected to be among the headliners, with six total players (four for Alabama, two for Mississippi) competing in the game. Auburn’s representation was greatly reduced by injuries. The Tigers are left with one player representing Alabama after Saraland receiver DeShawn Spencer, Wadley linebacker Jaquez Wilkes and Petal defensive lineman Corey Wells were late scratches from the game.
Best in Bama Top 50
Players from the game are headed to four of the 12 teams in the College Football Playoffs, including Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Alabama.
The game will kick off at noon on Saturday and will be broadcast across the state on Alabama Public Television.
Here are seven players to be on the lookout for during the matchup.
ALABAMA
CD Morgan, wide receiver, Benjamin Russell (jersey No. 1)
There likely will not be a player on the field who looks more SEC-ready than the 6-foot-4, 220-pound wide receiver. Are the comparisons to former Foley, Alabama and NFL star Julio Jones fair? This will be the biggest stage so far for Morgan to begin justifying the lofty and unfair comparisons.
DJ Broughton, tight end, Mary G. Montgomery, (No. 15)
Broughton was one of the catalysts for a remarkable turnaround for Class 7A Mary G. Montgomery, along with all-star teammate and Mississippi State signee Kaleb Morris (No. 0).
After being a longtime commit to South Florida, Broughton will forever be remembered as the first Auburn commit of the Alex Golesh era.
EJ Crowell, running back, Jackson, (No. 13)
The hype could not be any higher for Crowell, who is the most celebrated back to sign with the Crimson Tide since Derrick Henry. Like Henry, Crowell will have to learn the nuances of the position before becoming a major contributor in college. But the talent when Crowell has the ball in his hands is undeniable.
Brock Bradley, quarterback, Spain Park, (No. 7)
The Alabama squad should be in good shape with two pocket-passer quarterbacks who are athletic enough to make plays on the run. Bradley is a longtime pledge to the Clemson Tigers. He will share the position with his future in-state rival Landon Duckworth (No. 3), who will play for South Carolina after leading Jackson to back-to-back state championships.
Mhari Johnson, defensive lineman, Muscle Shoals, (No. 9)
The 6-foot-4, 275-pound defensive lineman was a catalyst for one of the stiffest defenses in the state at Muscle Shoals. He could be a strong candidate for early playing time with the Crimson Tide.
While Johnson is expected to be one of the top playmakers on the defensive line, look for Central-Phenix City linebacker and Jacksonville State signee Tristan Lyle (No. 19) and Gadsden City defensive back and Alabama signee Zyan Gibson (No. 5) to also be defensive leaders.
MISSISSIPPI
JJ Hill, running back, Tupelo (No. 0)
Hill is the younger brother of Alabama’s Daniel Hill. Both are bruising backs. The younger Hill is 25 pounds lighter than his brother, but he’s still listed at 6-feet, 220 pounds. Hill will share the backfield with Gulfport’s Cooper Crosby (No. 6). Crosby was likely headed for Auburn before the Tigers made a coaching change. He will now play for Mississippi State. Tupelo and Gulfport squared off in a wild state championship game a week ago, with Gulfport scoring on a Hail Mary pass and extra point at the end of the game to win. Now the two backs who starred in that game will be all-star teammates before playing together at Mississippi State.
Bryson Cooley, offensive lineman, West Jones (jersey No. 63)
Securing Cooley late in the recruiting process was a huge win for Alabama. He is one of two future Tide players on the Mississippi roster, joining defensive lineman Nolan Smith (No. 34) of Picayune Memorial.
