New Britain Residents Attending Remove/ Reverse/ Reclaim Protest

New Britain residents are encouraging local people to join them at the Hartford protest that is part of the nationwide Remove/Reverse/Reclaim protests that are to occur on April 5th at 3:00pm.

The Hartford protest is to occur at the State Capitol on Capitol Avenue in Hartford.

The April 5, 2025 protests are being organized by a number of progressive organizations, as part of a campaign of protests against the policies of the Trump administration.

Organizers say the protest is to demand,

REMOVE / REVERSE / RECLAIM
REMOVE corrupt politicians from office.
REVERSE the damage.
RECLAIM our democracy.

Other organizers, under the banner, “Hands Off! Hartford Fights Back,” say, “Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. Hartford is fighting back!,” adding, “They’re taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.”

“This mass mobilization day,” organizers say, “is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies.”
