Protests against Trump's actions are planned across all 50 states Wednesday, with organizers rallying under #buildtheresistance. This live blog is now closed.

We the people are speaking out at every capital in every state, today, now!

A growing movement opposing President Donald Trump’s early actions is organizing protests across all 50 states on Wednesday.

What to Know:

The movement uses the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501 (50 protests, 50 states, one day).

Many demonstrations are planned at state capitols, while others will take place in major cities.

Flyers circulating online denounce Project 2025 and call for action against fascism and deportations.

Organizers, like Kelsey Brianne in Michigan, are mobilizing communities with grassroots efforts.

Protests have already begun, with thousands marching against deportation policies in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The movement has a website at 50501movement.carrd.co and is active on Instagram, Reddit, Bluesky, Discord and Signal.

    could we be doing this for more than one day? it’s barely even a protest if it’s just on one day.

      I believe this was intended to kick things off, spread awareness and get the ball rolling. Surely more will follow!

        I don’t doubt it. it would be cool and inspiring to help this became a whole movement. I’ll have to protest from inside though until the weather stops being frostbite-inducing (hopefully soon)
