50501 Movement: Nationwide Protests for Democracy on April 19!

The 50501 Movement started in the U.S. around February 2025. It grew as a way for people to respond to what they saw as unfair actions by the Trump administration. This movement was created by a Reddit user called u/Evolved_Fungi and got support from many other anonymous Reddit users.

The name “50501” stands for their goal of having ‘50 protests’ in ‘50 states’ on ‘1 day.’ This shows that they want everyone to come together for a big, united effort across the country. The 50501 Movement aims to show that the American working class is not going to just sit down while rich people hurt their democracy and freedoms.

On their website, they talk about respecting everyone and finding fair, long-lasting solutions that help build good relationships within the movement.

What’s Happening on April 19?

The movement is planning over 400 events across the U.S. on April 19. These will include rallies, protests, clean-up events, and food drives. The goal is to create a support system for Americans, especially for those who have been hurt by federal policies.

This big day of events follows the “Hands Off!” movement on April 5, which had millions of people taking part and was one of the largest protests against the Trump administration.

Past Protests by the 50501 Movement:
– February 5, 2025: The first protest took place at 80 locations in all 50 states with about 72,000 people joining in.
– February 17, 2025: A protest called “Not My Presidents Day” happened on Presidents’ Day.
