🔵 Demonstrations target Trump administration and others
🔵 Full list of events in NJ and metro areas


On one of the hottest days so far this season, demonstrators plan to turn up the heat on the Trump administration.

More than a dozen demonstrations and anti-Trump "Day of Action" events are planned from Philadelphia to Manhattan and across New Jersey. The events are part of a national day of protest promoted by a group called 50501 — which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one day.

The day of demonstrations comes two weeks after the National Day of Action for Hands Off!, which staged numerous protests in New Jersey.

Not all of the April 19 events have the same organizers or theme. But all generally target MAGA world, and even some Democratic lawmakers not seen as sufficiently opposed to President Donald Trump's political movement.

Several of the protests in New Jersey are targeting Tesla, the car brand owned by the billionaire Trump advisor Elon Musk.

What is 50501 all about?

The 50501 movement describes itself as a "decentralized, people-powered network of resistance and resilience."

"We’re not affiliated with any one candidate or party. We’re multi-racial, multi-generational, cross-class, and led by people who believe in nonviolence, mutual care, and democratic values," its website says.
