We face one of the most brazen rollbacks of civil rights in generations. Whether you’re outraged by attacks on voting rights, the gutting of essential services, disappearances of our neighbors, or the assault on free speech and our right to protest, this movement is for you. When they try to divide us, we come together.
Get In Good Trouble: Who Was John Lewis?
In honor of the 5th anniversary of John Lewis’s passing this Thursday, we’re sharing a 7-part series highlighting key moments from his extraordinary life. Each day leading up to July 17, we’ll release a new installment. Join us in remembering and reflecting on his legacy.
The first #50501 protests were a decentralized rapid response to the anti-democratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration and its plutocratic allies. The idea—50 protests in 50 states on 1 day—was born on r/50501 and quickly spread on social media.
In just days, grassroots organizers—without any budget, centralized structure, or official backing—pulled off over 80 peaceful protests in all 50 states. Twelve days later, tens of thousands of Americans declared “No Kings Day” and protested once more. On March 4, a call to stand up for democracy was answered with another wave of protests. On April 5, over 5 million rallied, and in each coming month the movement continues to grow.
Our movement shows the world that the American working class will not sit idly by as plutocrats rip apart their democratic institutions and civil liberties while undermining the rule of law.
50 protests. 50 states. 1 day.
