50 state protest 2/5/25!!
50501 Movement—or 50 states, 50 protests, one day—is garnering support throughout social media for demonstrations across the nation to "fight Fascism" on February 5.
Newsweek reached out to 50501 Movement for comment over email.
Why It Matters
The protests are against President Donald Trump and his actions during his first two weeks back in the White House. Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders, fulfilling campaign promises such as clamping down on illegal immigration and pardoning January 6 Capitol attack participants.
Trump's former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley has called Trump a "fascist to the core," while his former Chief of Staff John Kelley said the president "certainly falls into the general definition of fascist."
What To Know
The movement has a website at 50501movement.carrd.co and is active on Instagram, Reddit, Bluesky, Discord and Signal.
The group is calling for protests at each state capitol building. The information and start time vary by location.
