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 should post these to more communities since it might get removed from this one
I’ve spoke with the mods. We should be good now.
Wonderful, thank you for collecting and posting all these!

could we be doing this for more than one day? it’s barely even a protest if it’s just on one day.
I believe this was intended to kick things off, spread awareness and get the ball rolling. Surely more will follow!
I don’t doubt it. it would be cool and inspiring to help this became a whole movement. I’ll have to protest from inside though until the weather stops being frostbite-inducing (hopefully soon)
this spring will see an awakening
Pittsburgh
I thought the protests were only at the State Capitals. I would’ve shown up to the Pittsburgh area one yesterday had that been known to me
Live honey trap coverage: A protest with no other goal but be “antiTrump” planned by the CIA to get a list of targets is going off without a hitch. Soon facial recognition will learn the identity of the most easily swade parts of the anti Trump population.
Wear a mask and shades plus leave your phone at home if you’re worried about being tracked. It’s really not that hard to figure out.
CIA and FBI where dismantled by executive order … soon they’ll be replaced by the SS.
Juggalo makeup is good for messing with facial recognition software.
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.
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.
I heard about it yesterday, but had no time to arrange to take off work.
I saw a bunch of posts on lemmy the past 24 hrs
Meta stifled posts about this.
But, unfortunately, I didn’t see any on Mastodon or Bluesky (granted my circle there is smaller).
I saw it on the first or second of February. Definitely was short notice.
Yeah I heard about it like 2 hours ago. How tf am I supposed to prepare for that?
Things are moving very quickly right now.

Uh, probably should have done this before the election.
nobody believed us before the election. me and my partner tried talking to people we know about it and they either never heard of it or told us it was a conspiracy theory
What an incredibly helpful comment.
As is yours.
I agree kinda. However, I’m not discouraging them as to their protesting potentially being useless now. I’m trying to stop you from doing that negative thing/showing others it’s fine to do it now.
There are valid reasons why not to protest/revolt before the election. No one knew how it would turn out, Rs could have been crushed. Even with Trump, it wasn’t incredibly likely that he would let Musk completely dismantle everything. Of course it was a possibility, but it’s a bit different to protest a possibility and to protest something actually happening, so I think it’s fine if you would protest in the one case but not the other.
Was that more helpful?
Yes thanks for the thoughtful background.
