50501 protests

Across the United States during 2025, the political action group 50501 (originally an abbreviation of "50 protests, 50 states, one day") has organized a series of demonstrations in opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump.

50501 organized major demonstrations on February 5 and February 17, 2025 (Presidents' Day). Another protest was held on March 4. Hands Off protests were held on 5 April 2025. The Day of Action was held on April 19. 50501 helped organize the 2025 May Day protests in the U.S.

50501 then joined a coalition of other activist groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, Indivisible, MoveOn, Color of Change, and the Women's March, to stage a series of nationwide protests known as "No Kings".

The June 14, 2025 No Kings Protests took place on Trump's 79th birthday and the same day as the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade. The estimated number of protest events nationwide were 2,100 with 5+ million estimated attendees One estimate quoted in The Guardian set the attendance at 1.2-1.8% of the US population and suggested this was among the biggest ever single-day protests in US history.

The No Kings 2.0 Protests took place on October 18, 2025. In total, they included 2,700 protests with 7 million people attending, a number that organizers say beats the previous record for largest ever single-day protest in US history.

The next "No Kings" event took place on March 28, 2026. Organizers estimated 8 million participants took part in more than 3,300 events worldwide, beating the previous single-day record.

In response to the protests, conservative political commentator Benny Johnson stated, "Democrats are dragging around an effigy of President Trump in prison clothes with a noose around his neck at an anti-DOGE protest in DC. Inciting violence. Arrest them. Sick and deranged people."

When asked about the protests, Representative Pete Stauber said "For the past four years, we saw the Biden administration allow millions of illegal immigrants into this country unchecked and spend enormous amounts of money on things the American people didn't need and couldn't afford. Today, we are dealing with the ramifications of those terrible decisions. President Trump was elected by the American people to shake up the status quo and enact real change, and that is exactly what he is doing. I am glad to see the Trump administration reexamine our country's spending, secure the border, and negotiate better deals with our nation's trading partners. We are entering a new American era marked by strength and prosperity, and I think all of us in northern Minnesota stand to benefit from his leadership."
