On April 5, 2025, Americans showed up in force. From coast to coast, the Hands Off movement filled streets, parks, and town squares with voices demanding bodily autonomy, democracy, and human rights. It was a day of powerful protest—and a significant win for visibility and solidarity. But now what? In this episode, we discuss why April 5 can't be the end of the story. We discuss the importance of keeping the momentum going, how protest is just one piece of civic engagement, and what it means to keep showing up after the headlines fade. Whether you marched, organized, or watched from the sidelines, this episode reminds you that democracy needs us every day—not just on the big ones.
