Democrats and activists launch #50501 movement to counter Trump's second term
As President Donald Trump begins his second term, Democrats and activists are forming a new movement called #50501 to oppose what they view as an authoritarian threat to democracy. This grassroots effort mirrors the Women's March protests from 2017. On February 6, thousands participated in peaceful protests across multiple states, focusing on issues like reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ rights. The movement also targets Elon Musk's influence and the actions of tech billionaires supporting Trump. Democrats are enhancing their resistance strategies, with the DNC establishing a "war room" to combat misinformation. Key Democratic leaders have joined protests, emphasizing their commitment to opposing Trump's policies and actions.
