Overview

  • The 50501 Movement, originating on Reddit in early 2025, aims to mobilize 3.5% of the U.S. population for sustained nonviolent resistance.
  • Today's 'Day of Action' includes over 700 events nationwide and in countries like Canada, the UK, and Germany, blending protests with community aid activities.
  • Organizers denounce Trump's executive overreach, cuts to federal agencies under Elon Musk's DOGE initiative, and Project 2025's conservative agenda.
  • Warnings have been issued that the Trump administration may misrepresent the protests to justify harsher responses, including potential military action.
  • The movement builds on the April 5 'Hands Off!' rallies, which drew millions, marking one of the largest demonstrations of Trump's second term.
