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.

      There have been protests at the buildings he’s illegally occupying, but there’s also so many tunnel systems in DC I’m sure they could get in there too. What we need is handcuffs of these rat fucks.
