Demonstrators have gathered in cities across the U.S. to protest the Trump administration’s early actions.

Summary

Thousands protested across the U.S. against Trump’s policies, Project 2025, and Elon Musk’s role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Demonstrators rallied against Trump’s immigration actions, rollback of transgender rights, and proposed forced transfers of Palestinians. Many expressed concerns over Musk’s access to Treasury data, fearing privacy risks.

Protests occurred in multiple state capitals, with arrests in Iowa and strong opposition in Alabama over LGBTQ+ policies.

Organized under #buildtheresistance, the movement signals growing resistance to Trump’s administration and its sweeping policy changes.

    If it’s thousands of protesters across the country, then it’s a few hundred per state, a tiny amount, really :(

      Yes but even one person protest is better than a million posts on some basket weaving forum.

      These things will grow as less people will have jobs.
