50501 Movement Fuels Anti-Trump Rallies Across the US: Live Updates
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
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, given chance, it will grow. This one, having grassroots, will endure.
Youre expecting 100 million people to walk up to the capitol together?
Given the dire situation, I'd hope to see thousands in each protest.
Given the reality, for this to work, it really needed to be presented as a recurring protest if they want to at least have something on short notice with chance for it to grow in subsequent events. Hopefully by the 3rd or 4th protest it actually seems compelling.
As it stands, it seems exceedingly underwhelming. To those that followed nuance, they know that someone sprung this idea on the internet and this is the result of less than a week and a half of planning and the modest attendance is unsurprising. To those that just see what the protests looked like without context, it doesn't seem particularly engaging. When those same people that saw the underwhelming attendance also see people saying that the news didn't make this out to be the biggest thing ever was just because the news is suppressing dissent, they are disinclined to take it seriously.
