Here are the cities hosting anti-Trump protests on May 1

By / / U.S. News

Trump faces nationwide protests again as grassroots group 50501 mobilizes for massive May Day action on Thursday.

  • The anti-Trump organization announced coordinated demonstrations in all 50 states, using May 1—International Workers’ Day—to highlight threats to democracy under Trump’s second term.

WHY IT MATTERS: 50501 has emerged as a driving force in resistance to Trump’s authoritarian drift, organizing thousands of actions since his return to office in January. With Trump’s approval ratings tanking, the May Day protests reflect deepening public discontent.

THE DETAILS: The group is calling on Americans to either attend a protest, organize their own, or sign a solidarity pledge backed by civil rights and immigrant rights organizations.

  • Events are set from coast to coast—including in major cities like Seattle and New York—but organizers say suburban and rural communities will also see action.

The protests aim to harness May Day’s labor movement roots, linking workers’ rights with broader demands for justice and democratic accountability.

SOME BACKGROUND: May Day has long been a symbol of worker resistance.

  • Under Trump’s second term, it’s become a rallying cry for Americans pushing back against corporate power, creeping fascism, and the erosion of civil liberties.
