Nationwide Uprising: Mass Protests Spark a Wave of Anti-Trump Activism

By -

 


Across the country, grassroots organizers are mobilizing over 500,000 people for more than 1,000 rallies, marches, and protests this Saturday—all aimed at challenging President Donald Trump’s administration. The coordinated effort, organized by longstanding groups like Women’s March, MoveOn, Indivisible, Working Families Power, and new movements such as 50501, underscores a growing movement of everyday Americans determined to make their voices heard.

“What April 5 is really about is coming together to push back against the harms we see from this administration,” said MoveOn Executive Director Rahna Epting. The strategy is simple yet powerful: ensure that every community, from major cities to small towns, has a chance to join in the resistance. “We want you to be able to walk out your door and start resisting—if that’s all you can do, we’ve got a place for you,” explained Hunter Dunn, a spokesperson for one of the organizing groups.

The epicenter of the protests will be at the Washington Monument in D.C., where organizers expect an even larger turnout than the People’s March preceding Trump’s second inauguration. The demonstrations will also be streamed live, extending the reach of the movement nationwide.

While the White House dismisses the protests—claiming they won’t deter Trump’s agenda—organizers point to the record-high number of protests over recent months, citing more than 2,085 events in February alone. These actions reflect widespread frustration over policy rollbacks on immigrant and transgender rights, federal layoffs, and other controversial moves.

Local voices are a vital part of this movement. Rachel O’Leary Carmona, executive director of Women’s March, highlighted the courage of protesters in small towns across red states, where even modest gatherings are seen as a bold stand for community values.

Whether to challenge political leadership, support specific causes, or simply make a statement against the current administration, organizers say the goal is clear: to unite in one day and send a powerful, concerted message that the American people are ready to reclaim their democracy.

  Trump and Harris during their September presidential debate. Forbes found at least 100 billionaires in the corners of either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris—with many more backing Harris—but unlike the world’s richest man Elon Musk, who stumps extensively on Trump’s behalf, many have elected to watch from the sidelines, like Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg. Key Facts Our breakdown records 76 billionaires supporting Harris and 49 backing Trump so far (see the lists for both below). Many more billionaires may still financially back a candidate, but their donations won’t be learned until after the election, when final Federal Election Commission reports are issued in December. Billionaires leaning toward Harris may seem incongruous, since she often criticizes Trump for advocating for policies favorable toward billionaires—but there are practical reasons why the ultra wealthy may favor Harris. A  letter  signed by more than a dozen billionai...

Rishi Sunak, acknowledging the Tory party's recent electoral setbacks in council and mayoral races, has hinted at the possibility of not securing a victory in the upcoming general election. The Prime Minister expressed concerns about the looming prospect of a hung parliament and cautioned against the potential fallout of a Labour-led coalition. The aftermath of a disastrous set of local elections witnessed the Conservatives conceding nearly 500 seats and all but one mayoral position, triggering internal strife within the party. Adding to their woes, the Tories suffered a defeat in the Blackpool South parliamentary by-election to Labour, narrowly fending off third-placed Reform UK. Despite characterizing the outcome as "bitterly disappointing," Mr. Sunak capitalized on an analysis of council results suggesting that Labour might fall short of a House of Commons majority. He warned against the ramifications of a scenario where Keir Starmer's Labour is supported by the SN...
