NEW YORK, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- A movement to oppose the early actions of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is taking off online, with plans to protest across the United States on Wednesday, reported The Associated Press (AP).
"The movement has organized under the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501, which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one day," said the report. "Many of the protests are planned at state capitols, with some in other cities."
The movement has websites and accounts across social media. Flyers circulating online decry Project 2025, a hard-right playbook for American government and society, and include messages like "reject fascism" and "defend our democracy."
"Trump has signed a series of executive orders in the first couple of weeks of his new term on everything from trade and immigration to climate change," noted the report. "As Democrats begin to raise their voice in opposition to Trump's agenda, protests have also begun."
On Sunday, thousands of people marched against Trump's plan for large-scale deportations in Southern California, including in downtown Los Angeles, where protests shut down a major freeway for hours, it added. ■
