Nationwide 'Free America' Walkouts Set for Jan. 20 as Organizers Push Disruption

Roughly 790 planned events with tens of thousands of RSVPs signal a pivot from permitted marches to non‑cooperation.

Overview

  • Women's March and allied groups including 50501 and FEMINIST are urging people to leave work, school and commerce at 2 p.m. local time on Tuesday.
  • "A free America begins the moment we refuse to cooperate" and "we will be ungovernable" anchor the movement's disruptive message, according to its website.
  • Organizers had reported more than 600 events last week, while Axios counted about 790 events and over 37,500 RSVPs as of Monday afternoon.
  • Hundreds of local actions are listed nationwide, with extensive schedules across California, including Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento Valley cities.
  • Preliminary researcher surveys show a rising share of participants open to political violence, a developing trend set against protests over the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good and Trump's recent, walked‑back Insurrection Act threat.
