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 understand the rules of the community (everything goes), but God damn am I tired of seeing political news in the shitposting/ meme communities.

      It always fascinates me. Many groups for political stuff. Yet a group for a few laughs has political stuff.

        The site the article was written for is irrelevant to the community it is posted in. There’s dozens of communities that are aimed towards this kind of content, full of people that want to see it, but for some reason people choose the shitpost community to try to start discussion on something they take seriously.

      Fascists don’t care about hashtags, protests, or any of the things you’re “doing”.

      It’s actions or nothing. A bully won’t stop bullying until you bloody their nose.
