On April 5th, the 50501 Movement joined forces with grassroots organizations across the country to help lead the largest single-day protest since the beginning of the Donald Trump’s disastrous regime. Over 5 million Americans participated in more than 1,000 demonstrations in all 50 states and Washington D.C., uniting to send the People’s Veto: Hands Off our democracy!
The Growing American People’s Movement
The magnitude of this protest exemplifies a thunderous resistance against the erosion of democratic norms and the quest for economic justice. Between Trump’s tantrum-induced tariffs, the hollowing out of necessary government services to line the pockets of anti-American billionaires and the silencing and kidnapping of legal residents, the American people have had enough. Now, they are making their voices heard and standing up for each other like never before.
“We are out here in the streets now, we are marching now, to show the American people that we are willing to stand up for them against fascism,” Hunter Dunn, a spokesperson for 50501, said in his speech in Downtown LA. “And you know what we’re going to do? We’re going to make sure that this never happens again.”
“Our only hope is to continue to stand up against Trump and his Tech Bro in Chief. The American people are sending a resounding message: America will not bend the knee to this tyrannical administration.” Glo Sahay, Co-Founder, Political Revolution.
“The 50501 Movement has proven that the people in power truly do not represent the will of Americans,” the Chief Deputy Director for Voices of Florida, Tsi Day Smyth, said. “The Trump administration has taken aim at the wellbeing of the marginalized and working class. Our clear response is that it will not be tolerated, and the people of the U.S. are only going to get louder as these atrocities continue.”
Next Steps
The 50501 Movement is rallying citizens nationwide to stay engaged and amplify their power within their communities. Whether it’s showing up to protests or town halls, sparking letter-writing campaigns, volunteering locally or hosting a neighborhood gathering—every action sends shockwaves.
Our next major action is a National Day of Community on April 19, where people are invited to come together in solidarity, support and shared purpose.
