Hundreds of Mississippians gathered across three cities on Saturday afternoon as part of a national movement called “Hands Off” to protest President Donald Trump’s policies and Elon Musk’s government cuts.
About 300 people gathered at the state Capitol in Jackson and dozens others gathered at rallies in Gulfport and Tupelo on Saturday. Organizers at the rallies decried many of Trump’s executive orders since he took office for a second term, and they focused attention on Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has abruptly slashed funding for countless public services.
Tens of thousands of Americans participated in the “Hands Off” protests in several cities across the country on Saturday.
