Thousands to Protest Trump Policies Nationwide Aug. 2

On August 2, tens of thousands are expected to join 'Rage Against the Regime' protests in over 400 U.S. cities, organized by the 50501 Movement and local groups like Indivisible, to oppose President Donald Trump's administration. Demonstrators are protesting aggressive immigration enforcement, efforts to dismantle federal agencies such as Medicaid and the National Weather Service, attacks on transgender rights, and the administration's refusal to release information related to the Epstein case. The events will include art, music, community organizing, and donation drives, aiming to channel anger into nonviolent action and community building. Organizers stress a strong commitment to nonviolence and de-escalation, with city permits secured for many of the gatherings. These protests are part of a broader campaign of summer activism, following earlier events like 'No Kings' and 'Good Trouble Lives On.' The movement reflects widespread frustration with perceived threats to democracy and civil rights under the current administration.
