We the people are speaking out at every capital in every state, today, now!
A growing movement opposing President Donald Trump’s early actions is organizing protests across all 50 states on Wednesday.
What to Know:
The movement uses the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501 (50 protests, 50 states, one day).
Many demonstrations are planned at state capitols, while others will take place in major cities.
Flyers circulating online denounce Project 2025 and call for action against fascism and deportations.
Organizers, like Kelsey Brianne in Michigan, are mobilizing communities with grassroots efforts.
Protests have already begun, with thousands marching against deportation policies in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The movement has a website at 50501movement.carrd.co and is active on Instagram, Reddit, Bluesky, Discord and Signal.

I was at the Boston event. At several points people started loud trans right chants which I think is a strategic mistake. This makes it too easy to reframe this as a trans protest rather than anti facism/anti 2025 since a huge portion of the population just dismiss trans rights protests out of hand.
Completely agreed.
The crowds would be much larger if most of us heard about this earlier than 11:58 am today. Absolute garbage organization for this one. I’ve marched in D.C. on more than one occasion and knew about the event at least a month in advance every time.
We don’t have a month. Look at how much has already happened in the last two weeks. People need to see what’s going on Now.
This is the way these things work though. This will get attention. The next one will be even bigger.
This needs to be every week.
Things are moving very quickly right now.
I saw it on the first or second of February. Definitely was short notice.
I heard about it yesterday, but had no time to arrange to take off work.
Yeah I heard about it like 2 hours ago. How tf am I supposed to prepare for that?

It may not seem like much, but news does travel the world. They have to realize we’re not all idiots over here.
Yeah, a few hundred did actually protest. Like… 0.1 % or something.
Plant a seed seed, given chance, it will grow. This one, having grassroots, will endure.
