Nationwide Protests Target Trump Policies and Elon Musk's Federal Cuts

Demonstrations organized by the 50501 Movement criticize the Department of Government Efficiency and Trump's executive actions on Presidents Day.

Protests were held in all 50 states on Presidents Day, organized by the 50501 Movement to oppose President Trump's administration and its policies.
Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), faced criticism for proposed federal budget cuts, including targeting the Department of Education and Social Security.
A viral video from a Washington, D.C. protest showed a dummy resembling Musk in prison attire being dragged, symbolizing public outrage over his role in the administration.
Protesters voiced concerns over threats to immigrant and LGBTQ+ rights, as well as fears of losing essential public services under the DOGE initiative.
The 50501 Movement plans additional demonstrations, including a 'Save Our Services Day of Action' to oppose federal service cuts and layoffs.
