Overview
- The 50501 Movement will hold over 400 events across the United States on April 19, including rallies, environmental cleanups, and food drives.
- This decentralized movement, founded online in late 2024 by Reddit user u/Evolved_Fungi and collaborators, opposes the Trump administration’s policies and defends democratic institutions.
- The April 19 actions build on the success of the April 5 'Hands Off!' protests, which saw millions participate in one of the largest single-day demonstrations against the Trump administration.
- The movement's name reflects its goal of organizing '50 protests' in '50 states' in '1 day,' symbolizing a unified national effort.
- By blending traditional protests with community service, the 50501 Movement seeks to foster long-term solidarity and support networks for marginalized communities.
