WILPFers Across the Country Say “Hands Off!” on April 5
Ellen Schwartz and Darien De Lu
WILPF members across the US participated in nationwide “Hands Off!” protests on April 5. These actions were a collective demonstration against the Trump’s administration’s assault on our rights–from slashing federal funding for critical services and DEI programs to mass deportations. WILPFers and other protesters across the country had a lot to stand up for and made their voices heard! Below is a compilation of photos from April 5 of WILPFers doing what they do best–standing up for peace together in the streets!
