On Saturday afternoon, as part of a national day of protests across the nation, hundreds of Yolo County residents packed the sidewalks on Main Street in front of Heritage Plaza and the Opera House to protest against President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the administration’s recent actions on government downsizing, the economy, human rights and other issues.

With a massive protest concurrently taking place at the state capitol, residents packed Heritage Plaza from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. with a clear message to the current administration, “Hands Off.”

According to ABC News, nationally, more than 1,200 “Hands Off!” demonstrations were planned by more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and fair-elections activists. The protests were planned for the National Mall in Washington, D.C., state capitols, and other locations in all 50 states.

Heritage Plaza has recently held two other sizeable anti-administration protests or gatherings. The first gathering took place on Monday, Feb. 3, centered around the theme “Day without Immigrants,” and the second, organized by Brown Issues in support of undocumented immigrants, on Saturday, March 8.
