The Washington Post reports:
From Wyoming to Washington and Mississippi to Manhattan, protesters at hundreds of rallies in small towns and big cities gathered Saturday to denounce President Donald Trump’s sweeping policy moves, the second day of mass action this month as opposition to the administration continued to coalesce.
The more than 700 planned events were part of the “50501” movement, a decentralized campaign that began on Reddit and got its name from a Feb. 5 push for “50 protests in 50 states on 1 day.” That effort led to anti-Trump protests at state capitol buildings across the nation. Hunter Dunn, a spokesperson for 50501, described the group as a “pro-democracy, pro-Constitution, anti-executive-overreach, nonviolent grassroots movement.”
Saturday’s demonstrations — on the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolutionary War — came two weeks after the April 5 “Hands Off” rallies, which drew millions across the country in the largest single-day protest of Trump’s second term.
