Overview

• The 50501 Movement, named for its goal of hosting 50 protests in 50 states in one day, has organized more than 600 events nationwide and internationally on April 19.
• Activities include rallies, environmental cleanups, food drives, mutual aid campaigns, and teach-ins, emphasizing nonviolent and decentralized resistance.
• The protests target policies linked to the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 blueprint and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, which has overseen mass federal layoffs.
• Organizers aim to engage 3.5% of the U.S. population—over 11 million people—as a critical threshold for sustained resistance.
• International solidarity actions are planned in countries including Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Mexico, and Portugal, expanding the movement's reach.
