More protests against President Donald Trump are taking place today as part of “A National Day of Action” largely spearheaded by the decentralized 50501 movement. Events are scheduled in all 50 states, two weeks after millions of people attended more than 1,300 “Hands Off!” protests across the US and the world.
This time, over 700 rallies and community events are planned. A post on the official 50501 website describes some of the other efforts underway today:
> Yes, there are marches, rallies, and courthouse demonstrations. But there are also diaper drives, skill shares, free community meals, and teach-ins happening all over the country. This is intentional. Because real change doesn’t just come from loud chants — it comes from deep connections.
“No one single march wins demands or ends injustice,” Ben Zinevich, an organizer with the ANSWER Coalition, which is participating in the protests, told The Washington Post yesterday, “It’s really about building a sustained movement that can show itself as a political force.”
Today’s actions, like those earlier “Hands Off!” demonstrations, are broadly aimed against the actions of President Donald Trump since his inauguration in January. That includes the rapid dismantling of the US administrative state at the hands of Elon Musk’s DOGE, chaotic tariffs, and apparent defiance of court orders, including one from the Supreme Court. Notably, today is the 250th anniversary of the first two major battles at the start of the American Revolutionary War.
People are generally posting about the protests under the same “#handsoff” hashtag that was used earlier in the month. Below are scenes from some of the most visible protest actions taking place today, starting with what looks like hundreds preparing for a march from New York City’s Bryant Park:

Protesters also gathered in Chicago’s Daley Plaza:

A large crowd showed up early this morning at Piatt Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, where protesters in the video below can be heard chanting “bring him home:”

They seem to be referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who the Trump administration initially admitted was sent to an El Salvador prison by mistake. In the wake of a unanimous Supreme Court order to “facilitate” his return, the administration has been attempting to retroactively justify Abrego Garcia’s deportation while doing “nothing,” as a federal judge said this week, to try to get him back.
