Overview

• Volunteers for the 50501 movement will lead 425 local “Rage Against the Regime” events on August 2 in all fifty states and key urban centers.
• Organizers raised the count from 300 to 425 after finalizing venues, expecting tens of thousands to join demonstrations coast to coast.
• A nonviolence pledge and designated safety teams form part of new protest guidelines to avoid clashes and ensure peaceful assemblies.
• Participants plan to spotlight aggressive immigration enforcement, dismantling of agencies from Medicaid to the National Weather Service and perceived threats to democratic processes.
• The protest’s title, inspired by the band Rage Against the Machine, coincides unintentionally with Vice President JD Vance’s birthday.
