This Saturday, April 19, 2025, a nationwide protest is scheduled in the USA. This is a grass roots effort as we rise up to stand against the atrocities taking place in the current administration.
The poster below shows what is happening in my state, New Jersey. You can search for protests happening near you by visiting fiftyfifty.one or indivisible.org.
Let's all try to get out there before we lose the right to protest! Let your voice be heard!

April 19 Daley Plaza NOON
#Chicago is standing up. Not just to protest but to take care of our own. As part of the #50501 Mutual Aid
Network #50501Chicago will be running a food drive in partnership with Peace in Pilsen & Pilsen Alliance
Bring a sign, your voice and bring some goods to donate! Canned goods, pre-packaged snacks, bottled water, and Gatorade.
Because grandkid, we’re in the City of #Maricopa today.
But we found a small group of dedicated folks standing up for #democracy in this ruby-red town.
Find one near you. Or start one!
Your rights are not protected by the paper they are written on, they are protected by the strength of your resistance. Join a protest near you. #3E #fiftyfiftyone via Anonymous

50501 stands for justice, liberation, and dignity for all people everywhere.
We oppose authoritarianism, billionaire rule, and executive overreach.
Freshly back from another #protest (or are we going with #rally now?), this time in North #Scottsdale (less-than-friendly territory) at Rep Schweikert’s office on Raintree & Northsight.
I’m told the event happens every Monday morning at 9a in an effort to get ahead of the upcoming heat.
Join us next Monday, #Phoenix!
On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.
We are committed to building our peaceful People’s Movement and achieving 3.5% participation. History shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.
Follow to join our Movement, and save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th.

The next National Day of Action is reportedly #April19 (I can’t find official confirmation of that date yet, please share if you do!). The goal is for 3.5% of the population to join in, so let’s make the next one even bigger!!
Curious why 3.5%? More info here: https://bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world

So, does the sparse news media coverage of #HandsOff count as a demonstration of Gil Scott-Heron's point in his spoken word piece "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" ?

The first I could tell that Seattle had a huge turnout was that the Saturday bus runs were twenty minutes late and completely full.
#MorningAll. I trust everyone to who participated in yesterday’s #FiftyFiftyOne #HandsOff #protest awoke after a peaceful sleep that comes from knowing you participated in something truly awesome!
There’s still more to do. Much more. But for #today, I think I’ll for for a bike ride and bask in this feeling.
Courage & persistence.
