Organizers have called for 11 million people across country to participate this weekend in effort to ‘protect democracy’
The US will witness its second wave of protests in a fortnight on Saturday as organizers seek to turn discontent with Donald Trump’s presidency into a mass movement that will eventually translate into action at the ballot box.
More than 400 rallies are anticipated across the nation loosely organized by the group 50501, which stands for 50 protests in 50 states, one movement.
It is the fourth protest event to be staged by the group since Trump was inaugurated on 20 January. Previous events included a “No Kings Day” on President’s Day, 17 February, a theme adopted before Trump referred to himself as a king in a social media post days later.
And he will still be in power afterwards.
We have to more than hold signs
Why is it they only have articles day of? It feels like they have a vested interest in making sure it is in public discourse without actually giving people any lead time.
Search lemmy for 50501 theres a ton of communities, including specific for many states. Theres a 50501 instance too. Theres also !inperson@slrpnk.net !Resist@fedia.io !AmericanResistanceNetwork@lemmy.world
Yeah, I also was frustrated, but on the other hand the date was known well in advance and the locations largely are the same as on 4/5.
Until protesters speak the same language as the state, the state won’t hear it. Until then these are nothing but pressure release valves offered by the state
