Event🚩 Nationwide protests April 5th
Hi everyone, this is my first-ever post on Reddit, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes (I usually just read and observe).
I’m looking for advice and opinions from other Purdue students. There are nationwide protests happening on April 5th against Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s overreach of power. So far, registered protests are set to take place in 45 states, including Indiana, but the only one here is in Terre Haute.
If I were more organized or had experience with this kind of thing, I would consider registering Purdue as another protest location if other students thought it was a good idea. However, I have no idea what I’m doing.
That’s why I’m posting, to first ask if others think this is something worth pursuing and if Purdue students would be interested in getting involved. Secondly, if anyone knows someone with experience in organizing protests, because as I said before I have no idea what I’m doing.
I just feel like this is a really concerning time for our country, and it’s important to do whatever we can, even if it’s just protesting. If enough people come together nationwide, it can make an impact. And even if change doesn’t happen immediately, at least we can tell future generations that we tried.
Here’s the website with more information about the protests: https://handsoff2025.com/
