These planned protests are a response to the recent federal restructuring of agencies, immigration policies, and civil rights concerns.

Political Revolution, originally established to support Vermont senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign in 2016, has partnered up with the 50501 Movement, to amplify the national anti-Trump rallies.
