🔥 🚨 THE MEDIA IS IGNORING US – LET’S MAKE THEM LISTEN! 🚨 Major news networks are failing to report on the 50501 movement. If they won’t cover the 50-state protest on April 5, we’ll make sure they hear us. 📝 Write/Postcards: Demand media coverage of the protest.

📬 Send to News Outlets: Mail them BEFORE March 24 so they land in newsrooms on time. This Fourth of July, we're reclaiming patriotism by showing up for each other. Across the country, we’ll be having Community Days of Action events rooted in mutual aid, connection, and building the kind of America we all deserve. Bring your neighbors, your energy, and your heart. Then, mark your calendars: July 17th is our next nationwide protest across all 50 states. Let’s come together first to support each other, then to stand together.

A lot of people are expressing confusion about April 19th (the next day of action) and I want to try and help clear it up a bit. Individual chapters/ states can choose to protest if they want! We just aren't doing a big national push since many states need more time to plan and coordinate. We need to think a bit more long term and practical. ✨️50501 is in a very good position to help Americans being impacted by the following things: 3) people are losing their access to food (losing food stamps, food pantries are struggling to keep up)

Join us in the fight to uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach. ​​The first #50501 protests were a decentralized rapid response to the anti-democratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration and its plutocratic allies. The idea—50 protests in 50 states on 1 day—was born on r/50501 and spread rapidly on social media. In just days, grassroots organizers—without any budget, centralized structure, or official backing—pulled off over 80 peaceful protests in all 50 states. Since then, the protests have grown over successive days of action: February 17th, March 4th, April 5th, April 19th, May 1st, June 14th, July 4th, July 17th, August 2nd, and October 18th. The movement has mobilized millions of people and brought together a growing network of organizers and organizations, both new and established.

Our movement shows the world that the American working class will not sit idly by as plutocrats rip apart their democratic institutions and civil liberties while undermining the rule of law. Real photos of February 5th protests compiled by u/TamraLinn 2025 squeezed us through a chain of policy choices and avoidable disruptions that raised uncertainty, kept costs stubbornly high, and pushed major life milestones further out of reach. This timeline shows us how we got here and what it suggests for 2026. The Trump administration opened the year by signaling a clear economic posture: deregulation in energy, faster permitting, and a business-first tone meant to boost domestic production. EO: “Unleashing American Energy” and GovInfo

Markets heard it immediately. Investors adjusted expectations. Energy companies recalibrated plans. Households? Not so much. Energy policy works on long timelines.

While it can influence costs eventually, it doesn’t lower rent, groceries, or insurance premiums in the short term. What January really did was set the tone: supply-side signaling and corporate confidence, not direct household relief. For consumers already stretched, nothing felt easier yet but the framework was locked in. 50501 (short for "50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement") is an American progressive grassroots political organization founded to organize the 50501 protests against policies and actions of the second Donald Trump administration in the... The group organized several nationwide demonstrations starting on February 5, 2025, with anti-Trump rallies.[8][9] The group hosted another nationwide protest—named "No Kings on Presidents Day"—on February 17 (Presidents' Day),[10] and a third demonstration on... president Donald Trump.[13]

"No Kings" protests took place across the US (but avoided Washington, D.C.)[14] on June 14, 2025,[15][16] the day of the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade and Donald Trump's 79th birthday.[17] These events, in over 2,000 locations and attended by an estimated 5 million people,[18][19][20] represent the largest one-day protest in US history.[21] The movement continues... Discussions of a nationwide protest started circulating on social media in late 2024. According to organizer Kay Evert, the movement started on Reddit, with activist organizations eventually joining in.[22] The movement says it was organized by grassroots activists and spread through social media.[23] The movement used the... Protestors also expressed dismay about the role of Elon Musk and his actions in the federal system.[25] One protester stated "I'm here because Elon Musk is where he's not supposed to be. He is in our pocketbooks", as well as concerns about accessing confidential and personal data, lack of legal jurisdiction, and the unelected status of Musk.[25]
