Overview

• More than 2,500 events are scheduled across all 50 states on Saturday, with anchor gatherings in Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, San Francisco and other cities.
• Indivisible leads a broad coalition that includes the ACLU, MoveOn, Public Citizen, 50501 and major unions such as AFT, SEIU and National Nurses United.
• Organizers say the mobilization responds to Trump’s escalating power grab and they expect millions to participate, building on June’s turnout.
• Republican leaders including Speaker Mike Johnson, Tom Emmer and Steve Scalise have labeled the rallies a “hate America” event and linked them to the government shutdown, while the White House has publicly dismissed the protests.
• Cities are preparing for large crowds with heightened law‑enforcement planning and National Guard presence in some locations, and organizers emphasize nonviolence with required security and de‑escalation training.
