A rising movement is gaining traction online to combat the initial actions of President Donald Trump’s administration, with nationwide protests scheduled for Wednesday.

The initiative is rallying under hashtags like #buildtheresistance and #50501, signifying 50 protests in 50 states on a single day. Many of these demonstrations are set to occur at state capitols, while others will take place in various cities across the country.

Organizers have established websites and social media accounts to spread the word. Flyers circulating online voice opposition to Project 2025, a stringent right-wing agenda for governance and society in the U.S. These flyers feature slogans such as “reject fascism” and “defend our democracy.” In a nearby coffee shop, just a short distance from Michigan’s Capitol, those coordinating a local event gathered to create posters with messages like “No Deportations Ever!” and “Workers Unite!”

Kelsey Brianne, who is instrumental in organizing the rally in Michigan, described the movement as a “real grassroots effort.” She discovered the initiative late Sunday night and has since been actively working on arranging speakers and ensuring safety protocols for attendees.

“I got involved because I recognized the need for action, and I believed I could contribute,” Brianne stated on Tuesday. “I also want to look back on this period and feel that I made a difference instead of remaining passive.”

Since taking office, Trump has signed several executive orders addressing issues ranging from trade and immigration to climate policy. In response to these actions, the Democratic Party has begun to vocalize its opposition, leading to the launch of multiple protests.

Recently, thousands rallied against Trump’s extensive deportation plans in Southern California, particularly in downtown Los Angeles, where protests resulted in significant traffic disruptions on a major highway for several hours.
