50501 (originally short for "50 protests, 50 states, one day") is a political action organization to protest the policies and actions of the second Donald Trump administration in the United States.[1][2] The group organized a nationwide demonstration on February 5, 2025,[3][4] and another nationwide "No Kings on Presidents Day" demonstration on February 17 (Presidents' Day).[5] Thousands of people participated by gathering outside state capitol buildings and city halls during both protests.[6][5]

Background

[edit]

Protest signs reflect concerns of the relationship of Trump and Musk

Discussions of a nationwide protest started circulating on social media in late 2024. According to organizer Kay Evert, the movement started on Reddit, with activist organizations eventually joining in.[7] The movement was organized by grassroots activists and spread through social media.[8] The movement used the hashtags '#buildtheresistance' and '#50501', with the latter standing for "50 protests, 50 states, one day".[9] Protestors also expressed dismay about the role of Elon Musk and his actions in the federal system.[10] One protester stated that “I’m here because Elon Musk is where he's not supposed to be. He is in our pocketbooks”, as well as concerns about accessing confidential and personal data, lack of legal jurisdiction, and the unelected status of Musk.[10]

Signage included commentary about Musk[11] and a spokesperson for the group emphasized that Musk is a target of the protest, stating "We are still very much calling for the removal of Elon Musk. We find it very concerning that there is a non-government official that has the access that he does", as well as the desire for stronger anti-discrimination policies.[12]

In early February, it officially partnered with Political Revolution, a group initially created to support Bernie Sanders' 2016 political bid.[13]

When asked about the protest, the president of the Utah State Senate, Stuart Adams said, "I think people are a little frustrated, but I also think President Trump's moving forward, and it's not going to be business as usual. And I think some of it's actually refreshing that we've got a president who will hit issues head on, deal with them and try to try to get things changed.... I think we need to give him some time to see the results of his action. I think to actually criticize something before the policies actually have a chance to have the effect that they’re trying to achieve, I think is probably premature."[114]
