“Rage Against the Regime” demonstrations against President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies are scheduled to take place across the U.S. on August 2.

Newsweek has contacted the 50501 Movement, who is behind the protests, for comment via email.

Why It Matters

There have been several nationwide days of protests against the Trump administration since he returned to office in January, many of them organized by the 50501 Movement (50 protests, 50 states, one movement).

Last month, millions took to the streets for “No Kings” protests on June 14, targeting a military parade in Washington marking the Army’s 250th anniversary that coincided with Trump’s 79th birthday. Protests in honor of the late civil rights icon and congressman John Lewis also took place on July 17, while “Free America” events were held across the country over the Fourth of July weekend.

“Rage Against the Regime” is the latest nationwide day of action organized by the 50501 Movement.

In a press release, organizers called for “a mass mobilization to channel our collective rage against the Trump administration for its weaponization of ICE against our communities, construction of concentration camps, covering up the Epstein files, attacks on transgender rights, and its dismantling of Medicaid, SNAP, USAID, the Department of Education, NOAA, and the National Weather Service into collective action.”

More than 300 demonstrations are set to take place on August 2, according to the Rage Against the Regime website.

What People Are Saying

Hunter Dunn, 50501 National press coordinator, said in a statement: “The Trump administration’s heralding of American neo-fascism has given us plenty to rage about. When our so-called representative government builds concentration camps and funds genocide, it becomes clear that, as Tom Morello said: ‘Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.'”

What’s Next

The protests will take place in states across the U.S. on August 2.

According to a messaging guide for organizers, it is a day to “come together to transform anger into action, harnessing the energy of collective resistance.”
