The protest was one of 50 planned protests Wednesday in cities across the country organized by the 50501 Movement — 50 states, 50 protests, one day — and Political Revolution. The movement is against Trump's recent spate of executive orders and Project 2025,

In a grass-roots effort to kick off a national movement, organizers encouraged those opposed to President Trump’s actions on immigration, transgender rights and more to gather at state capitals and city halls.

Donna Ackerman believes the country is at an inflection point. “Our government’s standing on the precipice of a huge change,” she said. “And we really got to make sure it doesn’t go the wrong way.” Ackerman was one of hundreds of people protesting against Project 2025 and President Donald Trump’s agenda Wednesday in Concord.
