GPA on resume

I’m a sophomore currently with a 3.0 GPA which I realize is pretty bad. At this point I know I’m not going to be at any prestigious company anytime soon, but in the meantime I am still motivated to try and find an internship. I feel like my GPA makes my resume go straight to the garbage and I can’t land any interviews, even though my extracurriculars are decent and I have OK experience. Should I take my GPA off of my resume?
