Sun Feb 16 13:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Nationwide Protests Planned for Presidents Day Against Trump Administration Policies
**SACRAMENTO, CA** – A nationwide protest movement, 50501, is organizing demonstrations across all 50 states on Presidents Day, February 20th, to oppose the policies of the Trump administration and the influence of Elon Musk. The protests, which follow a similar event on February 5th, are a response to executive orders perceived as anti-democratic and harmful.
Organizers from the 50501 Movement, which originated on Reddit, cite concerns over the diminishing role of the federal government under the current administration and the appointment of Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. They also decry the rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
The February 5th protests, while not achieving the massive turnout of the 2017 Women’s March, saw hundreds participate in approximately 80 demonstrations across the country. Participants called for Trump’s impeachment, an investigation into Musk’s actions, and the reinstatement of DEI programs.
The Presidents Day protests aim for a similar, if not larger, turnout, continuing the demands for Musk’s removal and stronger anti-discrimination legislation. The group also seeks an investigation into Trump’s appointees, particularly those associated with Project 2025, a conservative policy initiative.
The 50501 Movement is collaborating with Political Revolution, a non-partisan group, and has garnered significant online support, boasting over 102,000 Reddit members and more than 600,000 on Discord. The protests have also received endorsements from celebrities and some local and state Democratic lawmakers. Organizers emphasize the protests are a call to action against what they see as an administration prioritizing profit over people and rejecting fascism and oligarchy.
