Thousands of Americans are protesting
[[link removed]] in
cities across the United States Wednesday against Donald Trump and
Elon Musk’s early attempts
[[link removed]] to
overhaul the federal government.
The protests took place at state capitols across the
country, organized online [[link removed]] by a
movement called 50501, referring to 50 protests in 50 states in one
day. Demonstrators gathered in Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Delaware, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere, according to
the r/50501 subreddit and the Associated Press
[[link removed]].
In Philadelphia, protesters gathered outside of a federal courthouse
holding signs that said “TRUMP + MUSK ARE NOT KINGS” and
“RESIST.” In Madison, Wisconsin, demonstrators at the state
Capitol held signs objecting to fascism, Elon Musk, and the
conservative manifesto Project 2025. In Lansing, Michigan, about 500
people demonstrated outside the state Capitol denouncing Trump’s
plans for Gaza, the rollback of transgender rights, and the federal
government’s mass deportation efforts under Trump.
One of the organizers at Michigan’s protest only learned about the
movement on Sunday night, and helped with coordinating speakers and
safety protocols.
“I want to look back at this time and say that I did something and I
didn’t just sit back,” Kelsey Brianne told
[[link removed]] the
AP Monday night.
On social media, protesters used the hashtag #50501 to organize and
document the protests. Videos were also posted by journalists and
media outlets across the country showing local protests.
