Canadian-American singer and critic of President Donald TrumpNeil Young was spotted at a California protest Saturday with a hand-made sign that read: “Hands Off Canada.” The Ventura County protest was one of more than 80 rallies nationwide against Trump’s policies on issues such as immigration, government cuts, and tariffs. Young’s wife, Daryl Hannah, was also at the 2,500-strong protest, telling the Ventura County Star that the couple was there because “we have to” and that “we’re in a Constitutional crisis.” During the protest, demonstrators sang “For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield, the ’60s band Young used to be a part of. The grassroots group 50501—which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one movement—organized the national day of action. The Toronto-born Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician has previously called Trump “a disgrace to my country” and sued him in 2020 for using his song “Rockin’ in the Free World” during his 2020 campaign run. Young also performed at Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Fighting Oligarchy” rally last week.
