Across Arizona, protests driven by fear and rage fueled by unsubstantiated claims that the Trump administration is aiming to cut Social Security benefits and the Medicaid welfare program took place on Saturday.
From retirement communities to the Arizona State Capital complex, protestors let their voices be heard.
Impressive turnout at the “Day of Action” in Civano in response to reckless, unconstitutional actions from the Trump administration.
Your voices – through emails, calls, postcards, social media posts, conversations with friends and family – are so important to help push back. pic.twitter.com/5qeAkQpivX

Thousands of paid operatives and unpaid participants showed up at the Arizona Capitol complex with signs protesting ICE actions, the firing of federal government employees, Elon Musk and Trump himself.

I wasn’t able to make the Phoenix #HandsOffAZ rally today, but I caught the energy in Douglas! Grateful to connect with the incredible @lucha_az team and feel the power of community rising across Arizona.
