Boston Gears Up for a Big Anti-Trump and Elon Musk Rally This Weekend!
Boston is all set and buzzing with excitement as the Dropkick Murphys prepare to take the stage at an ambitious rally on the iconic Boston Common this Saturday. This event, proudly part of the greater “Hands Off” protests sweeping the nation, aims to stand firm against the policies of the Trump administration and the actions of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.
What to Expect
The rally will kick off bright and early at the Parkman Bandstand starting at 11 a.m., drawing a crowd expected to bring their spirited voices, colorful signs, and a shared commitment to fostering unity and acceptance. Among the attendees will be U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey and various activist groups rallying together to make their voices heard. Organizers are rallying over 100 different organizations, including grassroots groups like Indivisible Mass and Mass 50501, alongside numerous churches and labor unions. These diverse participants are all coming together for a common purpose.
The heart behind the protests? To deliver a clear and resounding message to President Trump, Elon Musk, and congressional Republicans about the need for inclusivity and justice for all. The organizers are deeply committed to creating a sanctuary against tyranny, emphasizing that everyone should be protected, regardless of their background.
The Emcee and Performances
As the energy builds, leading the event will be Jean-Luc Pierite, an MIT professor and the president of the North American Indian Center of Boston, as the emcee of the day. Expect musical engagement and inspiration too, as the local protest chorus group BVOCAL will perform, adding a melodious flair to the rally.
After the Rally: Tesla Takedown!
The fun doesn’t stop there! Following the morning’s main rally, participants will take part in a unique feature: the “Tesla Takedown” event. This intriguing activity will see protesters marching outside the Tesla Showroom in Boston’s Back Bay. The choice of Tesla as a focus for this demonstration is meant to highlight concerns about Musk’s role in cutting federal programs that many believe are vital for a healthy society.
A Wider Movement
It’s important to note that this is not just a Boston event. Similar rallies are brewing in cities across Massachusetts, including Newton, Waltham, Lowell, and Worcester. In fact, organizers have planned to host at least 15 rallies in New Hampshire and four in Rhode Island. That’s a lot of marching boots ready to hit the pavement!
In a show of solidarity, over half a million individuals have already registered to attend these rallies nationwide, with enthusiastic participants encouraged to bring their best signs, round up their friends, and share their experiences on social media. This is a community event, and everyone is welcomed with open arms!
Join the Movement!

If you’re looking for a way to participate in an important discussion about our country’s future, this rally is the perfect opportunity. So gather your friends, create those eye-catching signs, and be part of a historic moment in advocating for the values you believe in. The city awaits your presence at Boston Common!
