On April 5, millions of citizens across the country rallied to oppose the growing threat of autocracy and the unprecedented power grab by the executive branch. Delaware was not left out of the action, with marches throughout the state. Sussex County voters and LWVSCDE members made a strong showing in Dover and Rehoboth Beach at the first Hands Off! rally in Delaware on April 5. LWVUS is part of the Hands Off! coalition.
