[United States] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 5, 2025, over 100 demonstrators gathered in Palatka, Florida, as part of a nationwide "Hands Off" movement protesting Trump administration policies related to federal funding and civil rights protections. The event was classified as a peaceful protest with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. If confirmed and if similar demonstrations expand significantly across critical infrastructure locations, second-order effects could emerge depending on scale and duration, but current reporting suggests minimal immediate supply chain disruption.

Watch points

• Monitor for verification of the event through independent news sources or official statements
• Track whether similar protests materialize in other locations, particularly near major transportation hubs or industrial facilities
