From staff reports
For more than a month, each Monday, protesters have lined the intersection of Boundary Street and Ribaut Road in front of Beaufort City Hall and across and in front of the parking lot of the Beaufort County Government Building to voice their displeasure with the actions of Elon Musk and the Trump Administration.
That will continue with a special local protest to be held Saturday, April 5 from 4 to 6 p.m. as groups like Indivisible, MoveOn and others, not to mention countless individuals, have committed to the Hands Off! National Day of Action.
The Beaufort protest will be just one of hundreds across the nation, including a protest in Bluffton.
“Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They’re taking everything they can get their hands on, and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we’re taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!” the website reads.
Those interested can use the website – HandsOff2525.com – to find a protest, register to attend a protest, or even get safety and de-escalation training.
