KEARNEY, Neb. - Peaceful protesters took up corners at the busiest intersection in Kearney on a cold and windy day on Saturday.

Kearney was one of over 1,200 known locations across all 50 states to have a Hands Off! rally. The protest is an international effort, regarded as the single largest demonstration during President Trump's second term, by people who are against the current philosophies and actions of the White House administration, and in particular, Elon Musk.

The Department of Government Efficiency is making changes to the ways of spending in Washington D.C. and people were protesting for their own reasons. Hear from protesters in the video above.
