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’ll pose this (revised) question here because I think it might have better visibility.
instead of protesting at the capitals of our states – why don’t we protest at the HQs of the departments Musk is attacking?
lots of benefits
- heightened on-site security
- lots of witnesses
- impenetrable wall of pissed-off Americans
- attacking the administrations goals
I mean…has nobody thought of this yet?
it would at least slow the destruction down, and it’s not like we don’t know what these people look like.
just 24 hour, round-the-clock, protests to keep the jackals at bay. only badged people get in or out. like white blood cells fighting off an infection.
Next phase should probably be to protest at DC. Camp the fuck out there and strike as a nation until Dump is handled.
Take the 60s Civil Rights approach to this.
The left’s answer to the right’s 1950s is the 1960s approach.
Learn from the Civil Rights movement.
The protests didn’t make nearly any national news. Hope the next ones go better.
That’s because the news is controlled by the oligarchy. It’s up to us to spread the word. Share as much content as you can!
The revolution will not be televised
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.
Meta stifled posts about this.
But, unfortunately, I didn’t see any on Mastodon or Bluesky (granted my circle there is smaller).
This is a response to the rapid escalation of events since the inauguration which only occurred just over two weeks ago. Things are moving fast. The past week has been dizzying, by design.
There will likely be a lot of protests by many organizations that may be organized at the national level or locally until things change for the better, people give up, or people are stopped by the forces we need to protest against. Try to find protests and participate in the ones that you can.
edit: I’m not going to tell you what groups to organize with, but look into groups that organize locally and nationally.
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.
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.
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, given chance, it will grow. This one, having grassroots, will endure.
Youre expecting 100 million people to walk up to the capitol together?

Denver grew!
Proud of Denver, the turn out is incredible today!
