St. Louis protesters participate in national ‘Hands Off!’ demonstrations
People stood in the rain for several hours Saturday along Manchester Road in Ballwin holding signs supporting civil rights, the Constitution and free speech and criticizing President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. People driving by kept up a steady stream of honking in support, cheers and waves. More than 1,200 “Hands Off!” demonstrations were held Saturday, April 5, 2025, across the United States, including several in the St. Louis region. Video by Sarah Gassen of the Post-Dispatch
