  • The movement targets President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policies and references threats to expand military presence in U.S. cities.
  • Leaders emphasize a strict commitment to nonviolent protest as a defining principle of participation.
  • The coalition refers to the campaign as “50501,” a label that underscores unified action across all 50 states.
