On Saturday, the “Hands Off” movement organized more than 1,000 protests across all 50 states, opposing policies from the Trump administration.
WATCH:
Protesters gathered in numerous towns across Montana, including Great Falls, where hundreds of people lined the Central West bridge to voice their concerns.
The protests mainly targeted the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, criticizing significant cuts to federal programs and recent economic policies.
Protesters say the rallies aim to unite people across political ideologies in defense of democratic values and social protections.
(APRIL 4, 2025) A national protest is coming to several Montana towns on Saturday, April 5, 2025, and organizers say it’s not about left or right; rather, they say it's about protecting democracy.
WATCH:
The rally is part of a national movement called Hands Off!.
Organizers say they’re responding to what they see as growing threats to healthcare, jobs, data privacy, and democracy.
Leading the Bozeman effort is a group called Indivisible Bozeman. One of the organizers, Andre Zollars, says anyone is welcome.
The protest will start at noon on Saturday, April 5, at the Gallatin County Courthouse. Organizers say it will be peaceful and nonviolent.
Similar events will be held in several Montana towns, including Great Falls, Choteau, Helena, Havre, Glendive, and Billings on Saturday at noon.
