I thought 50501 did it, but it looks like it was a coalition. To the persons who organized this, amazing job and huge kudos to you:

The Hands Off protests were led by a nationwide coalition of organizations, including civil rights organizations, veterans, women's rights groups, labor unions, and LGBTQ+ advocates, for example Indivisible.[3] The protests were in response to what the organisers saw as the administration's overreach on many issues: NATO; schools; libraries; courts; veteran services; fair elections; transgender rights; Social Security; Medicare; Medicaid; the federal workforce; abortion rights; and many others.[4] In a document, organizers said that they had three demands: "an end to the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration; an end to slashing federal funds for Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs working people rely on; and an end to the attacks on immigrants, trans people, and other communities."[3]

I was there and I hope this momentum continues! Another one in May (not sure the date).

Don't think it was bad info, it looks like the next Hands Off protest is May 1st, but Indivisible has a protest planned for the 19th.
