A protest of President Donald Trump and his policies is planned for Saturday at 11 a.m. at the intersection of Shaw and Clovis avenues, according to a flyer circulating online.

The demonstration is organized under the “Hands Off!” banner, which calls for the protection of key social programs and policies.

The flyer reads, “No Kings in Fresno. Remove. Reverse. Reclaim.”

Support for the event has grown on the Fresno subreddit, where several commenters said they are creating protest signs and preparing to attend.

Fresno Joined Global Protest Earlier in April

The demonstration follows a global wave of “Hands Off!” protests that took place on April 5, aimed at opposing the influence of public figures like Trump and Elon Musk on social programs and government policies.

Thousands gathered in cities around the world, including in Central Valley communities such as Fresno, Hanford and Visalia.

In Fresno, more than a thousand demonstrators lined the streets near Shaw and Fresno avenues, chanting and criticizing efforts to roll back Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and protections for marginalized communities.
