The 50501 Movement — short for “50 protests, 50 states, one movement” — started in late January and has since evolved into a widespread protest campaign. Organizers say the effort is aimed at pushing back against what they characterize as authoritarian and anti-democratic ambitions tied to the president. It’s been months since local streets have been filled with the enthusiastic shouts and colorful signs of protesters shouting their opposition to the Trump administration.

But that will change on Saturday, Oct. 18, for the No Kings Day of Peaceful Action. It’s the first large-scale No Kings series of rallies since June, when hundreds of thousands of protesters gained enough attention from state and federal leaders that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott deployed the Texas National Guard to select rallies. “As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the No Kings nonviolent movement continues to rise stronger,” reads a press release for the series of events. “We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power belongs to the people.”

A wide range of topics takes center stage during the No Kings events. During the June 14 rally in Dallas, people displaying signs with messaging geared toward President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, the Russia-Ukraine war and Trump’s criminal record could be seen among the masses. Organizers say that at least 100 Texas cities will have No Kings rallies. “The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us,” reads the Dallas rally’s webpage.
