Demonstrators took to the streets across the United States on Wednesday to protest a range of policies enacted by the Trump administration, including immigration crackdowns, rollbacks of transgender rights, and a proposal to forcibly displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Protests were fueled by online movements using hashtags like #buildtheresistance and #50501, calling for resistance against what some perceive as fascist tendencies and a threat to democracy.
emonstrators gathered in cities across the U.S. on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration’s early actions, decrying everything from the president’s immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
The protests were a result of a movement that has organized online under the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501, which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one day. Websites and accounts across social media issued calls for action, with messages such as “reject fascism” and “defend our democracy.”
“DOGE is not legit,” read one poster on the state Capitol steps in Jefferson City, Missouri, where dozens of protesters gathered. “Why does Elon have your Social Security info???” Demonstrators strode through downtown Austin, Texas. They assembled in Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park for a march to Georgia’s state Capitol and gathered outside California’s Democratic-dominated Legislature in Sacramento. In Denver, protests coincided with nearby operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and an unspecified number of people detained. Protesters in Phoenix chanted “deport Elon” and “no hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.
“Fear for what is going to happen to our country if we don’t all just do something about it,” Parten said.
