Great Rochester Rally for Our Freedom
Rochester LGBTQ+ Together will be hosting a Greater Rochester Rally for Our Freedom on Sunday, April 6, 2:00pm at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park at Manhattan Square! Allies welcomed and strongly encouraged to attend and show your public support! Interpreting requested.
In the face of tyranny and injustice, we need to remain visible and vocal in defense of free speech; civil rights; human rights; accessible, affirming healthcare; quality public education; clean air and water; and more! We must stand in solidarity for equal rights and equitable treatment and against the dehumanization and attempted erasure of marginalized, oppressed peoples, such as our beloved Trans siblings! This rally is a peaceful community demonstration.
The event is held in partnership and solidarity with Metro Justice, Rochester NOW - National Organization for Women, Party for Socialism and Liberation - Finger Lakes, Pride at Work - Rochester Finger Lakes Chapter, Rainbow Seniors ROC, Rochester DSA - Democratic Socialists of America and WAVE Women Inc.
Hands Off! Rally and March
🚨 On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! 🚨
This mass mobilization day 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. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.
Hands Off: De-escalation Training
Getting ready for your mobilization? Join us for a security and de-escalation training to get ready for your action!
A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action, and all participants are expected to seek to de-escalate potential confrontation with those who may disagree with our values.
Wherever you are and whatever your level of concern, this training is a great opportunity to learn best practices to consider for your event to help ensure it's as safe and welcoming as possible for all attendees.
By the end of the session, you will understand how to recognize escalating behavior, respond calmly, and diffuse potential conflicts—whether with opposition groups, bystanders, or law enforcement—while staying aligned with your event goals.
Visit HandsOff2025.com for our host toolkit and more information about the mobilization.

Postcard protest
This is resisting. This is protest.
CALL TO ACTION - WRITE A POSTCARD TO TRUMP ON MARCH 15, 2025!
On March 15th, many people will mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing Donnie that he’s fired.
Each of us — every protester from every march, each congress calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer — if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15th, well: you do the math.
No alternative fact or Russian translation will explain away our record-breaking, officially-verifiable, warehouse-filling flood of fury. Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We’re setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day, with not a single nice thing to say.
So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest ill-wishes can pierce Donald’s famously thin skin.
Prepare for March 15th, 2025, a day hereafter to be known as #TheIdesOfTrump
Write one postcard. Write a dozen! Take a picture and post it on social media tagged with #TheIdesOfTrump ! Spread the word! Everyone on Earth should let Donnie know how he’s doing. They can’t build a wall high enough to stop the mail (unless of course he cancels the USPS first)
Then, on March 15th, mail your messages to:
President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
