'Rage Against the Regime' protests planned against Trump

Source: USA Today

Updated Aug. 1, 2025, 7:23 a.m. ET


Tens of thousands of people are expected to gather nationwide on Saturday, Aug. 2 to ‒ as organizers have dubbed it ‒ “Rage Against the Regime” of President Donald Trump.

Organizers say the demonstrations, the latest in a series of peaceful summertime protests in hundreds of locations across the country, are meant to mobilize masses of people against the administration's actions.

They are particularly concerned about aggressive immigration enforcement, dismantling of government programs and agencies from Medicaid to the National Weather Service, and attacks on democratic institutions, according to a news release. They also want to draw attention to the Trump administration's refusal to release more information about deceased child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.

The name of this day of protest is both a play on the name of the American rock band Rage Against the Machine, and an expression of public frustration. “People don’t know what to do with their rage,” Hunter Dunn, a national spokesperson for the 50501 protest group, which is organizing the rally, told USA TODAY. “Let’s give them something productive.”

most of these protests are being held. If most are at the same time of days then I will just show up at that time. Usually works out.

The municipalities aren't really involved in these (except for permits), let alone would announce them unless they are large and a local TV station steps in too,

The start times will vary as some locales will have a "march" (often in the morning) as part of the event, where they process to some nearby location, and then there will be speakers who will address the attendees. Other locales may have people showing up at a central location (government-related building or park nearby) and/or will line up along a main thoroughfare with signs in support of the event.

We always do have a protest but I've searched everywhere and there is never any announcement about them. Seems like a simple thing to do if you are looking for turn out. We have even emailed our state organizers for Indivisible.org and they never replied.

There is that "50501" group that has been organizing many of these recent protests (e.g., the "No Kings", etc). You might be able to scan their site - https://www.fiftyfifty.one/

There is a list of "groups" associated with them here (18 pages) - https://events.pol-rev.com/search?contentType=GROUPS&groupPage=1
