Thousands of protestors rally against Trump in San Luis Obispo

April 5, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

San Luis Obispo’s “Hands Off!” protest brought approximately 5,000 people to the courthouse to rally against Trump on Saturday afternoon.

The rally included speakers such as U.S. Congressman Salud Carbajal who addressed the crowd from the steps of the courthouse. Carbajal voiced concerns that the Trump movement wants to put power “in the hands of corrupt, few autocrats.”

The city closed off Monterey Street from Osos to Santa Rosa streets. Protestors gathered around the courthouse and lined Santa Rosa Street.

Organizers held more than 1,300 “Hands Off!” rallies across 50 states.

Stock market comments didn’t age well


Democrats must be crazy if they think the majority of Americans agree with protests like this…Its because of these lunatics we will have Republicans elected as President for a long time. Sorry weirdos, most voters in this country don’t agree with you.


Allendatalent, what’s with the “lunatic” and “weirdo” name calling? We are all Americans. And, because an American protests trump does not make the person a Democrat. Many former trump supporters and independents are against trump policies. Trump may have won the presidency, but he isn’t able to come through with the goods. Numbers tell a story. The stock market is tanking, goods are expensive, Americans are losing jobs, vets (God bless you) are threatened by a lack of federal support.
