The 50501 Movement is organizing an event at the Washington Capitol in Olympia on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m., as part of a nationwide effort to protest policies enacted by President Donald Trump.

The protest comes after demonstrations that took place last week over Trump administration policies, such as mass deportation.

The demonstration in Olympia is set to take place at the Tivoli Fountain North Lawn.

The demonstration coincides with similar events in state capitols across all 50 states on Wednesday.

    Resisting Trumps illegal, cruel executive orders is very important. Please do everything you can protect our democracy and freedoms.

    Yes! The public deserves better than a gang of rich creeps destroying the federal government and shredding our laws.

    The official permit page now says the event will run noon to 4:30 though: https://apps.des.wa.gov/CampusEvents/default.aspx.

    The 3 billionaires standing behind Trump at his inauguration have already gained an additional 230 BILLION dollars in wealth since he won the election, and he's ready to give these guys tax breaks again which will only increase their wealth. Nothing will "trickle" down to any other hardworking Americans. Trump has even gutted the offices that stand up for workers rights to unionize for equal pay, health care, and safer working conditions. Can you imagine? Already billionaires, just accumulated a staggering amount of money post-election, and still don't see any reason to comply with these needs for workers. See Bernie Sanders speech below:

    He will send thousands of immigrants to Guantanamo Bay and El Salvador prisons, places known for torturing people and human rights violations.

    He has pardoned the rioters from when he lost the election, thousands of criminals, and even started investigating the officers who did the right thing by arresting them and locking them up. These people attacked people in the White House, injuring many people, some of whom later died from their injuries... a riot which HE incited.

    And to top it all off, Elon Musk and his team have been given access to some of the most sensitive information pertaining to American citizens. No one ever voted for him to be in the White House. And yet there he is, pushing out workers who are supposed to be there and hacking into our computer systems. This man gave the NAZI SALUTE at the presidential inauguration. He was not "waving to the people" - just look at his face! He was hailing Nazis and white supremacism. Lately, he's been advocating for "white South Africans" to be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. His words exactly -- WHITE South Africans.

    And let's not forget the horrific plane crash that happened after Trump disbanded the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee. This is the first mid-air collision to happen in SIXTEEN YEARS, and 67 people lost their lives. Then he tried to pit us more against each other than he already has by trying to tie what he did to DEI hiring somehow.
