The rallies have been called by several overlapping organizations, including Indivisible, a progressive group, the American Civil Liberties Union and 50501, which was formed earlier this year when Trump became the US President for the second time.

Notably, 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests and one movement. It organized the "Hands Off" protests on April 5, highlighting a wide range of grievances against the Trump istration.

The protesting organizations have said that they want to defend democracy by opposing Trump’s "authoritarian rule." One of their major issue is the mass deportation programs. This comes after protests against the immigration crackdown turned violent in Los Angeles last week, forcing Trump to call in the National Guard.
