50501 movement will hold May Day protests against Donald Trump across US.
Several protests are scheduled to take place on May Day against President Donald Trump under the 50501 movement which stands for 50 protests, 50 states and 1 movement. “Join us in the fight to uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach,” the movement’s website states. “National Day of Solidarity. Stop the Billionaire Takeover. We are the Many. They are the Few.”
The 50501 movement held several mass protests across the country in the last few months. The May Day protest comes as Trump completed the first 100 days in office — with the lowest approval rating. Crackdown on illegal immigrants is one of the most glowing achievement of the Trump administration in the first 100 days, which the protesters are disapproving.
“We will not stand by as this administration kidnaps our neighbors, tramples our rights, jails judges, harms people in our marginalized communities, and turns the evil Project 2025 into a reality. When the government attacks even one person, they are attacking every American,” Gloriann Sahay, co-founder and digital director of Political Revolution PAC, told CNN.
On April 5, ‘Hands off’ protests were held against Trump and Elon Musk. Thousands of people took to the streets leading to the second protest from the same group on April 19. The deportation of Marylan’d Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a key issue of the second protest.
Bernie Sanders to lead May Day rally in Philadelphia
The 50501 protest today against Trump coincides with May Day with Vermont senator Bernie Sanders leading the May Day rally in Philadelphia. Organizers say protests, marches, town halls and other actions are scheduled in nearly 1,000 cities across the country to rally against the “billionaire takeover” of the federal government.
“This rally is not necessary exclusively against Trump, it’s against all the bad bosses, billionaires, and oligarchs who are attacking the working class to further line their own pockets,” Philly chapter AFL-CIO spokesperson Maggie Mullooly told Axios.
