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.

    And you’re missing the point that if you’re willing to ignore trans people “in order to be taken seriously”, then you’re siding with the fascists on how to treat trans people. They will take advantage of that.

    The existence of trans people is being erased from our government’s documents right now. If both sides are ignoring trans people, what the fuck do you think is going to happen? I’ll give you a hint:

    “First they came for trans people, and I did not speak out- because I was not trans…”

      Now that I think about it some more, youre actually right. Every problem should be adressed and voiced as often as possible. No matter how you do it, theyre always gonna try to invalidate it somehow. But as soon as millions walk the streets every day they wont be able to anymore.
