#WeThePeople - #AntiTrump Protesters Mobilize for Hundreds of Events via #50501Movement
#Activists joined forces on a wide variety of issues on Saturdayby Naomi LaChance, April 19, 2025
Excerpt: "Protesters gathered near the White House to demand that #KilmarAbregoGarcia be brought back to the U.S. The Maryland man was illegally deported to El Salvador and remains there despite a Supreme Court order to bring him back.
"A search for affiliated events yields more than 750 results. #50501Michigan is planning a β#MarchForMotherNatureβ where attendees hold #CleanUps in local areas. In #LafayetteLouisiana, organizers are holding a '#GoodTrouble March.' In #TampaFlorida, activists gathered to protest the deportation of two #Venezuelan #immigrants to a #MegaPrison in #ElSalvador.
"In #NewYorkCity, people organized in front of the New York Public Library. Someone had drawn 'WE THE PEOPLE' in chalk in the street.
"Other areas are holding #NoKings protests to mark the 250th anniversary of the #AmericanRevolution. In #Concord,Massachusetts, Conan Walter held a sign that said, 'Stop #fascism now.' "

#Protesters rally in #PortlandME, advocating for protection of rights amid Trump tensions
Story by Allyson Lapierre, WGME
PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Making their voices be heard on a day of #revolution, a rally on Saturday pays tribute to the #250thAnniversary of the 'shot heard around the world,' a day that marks the start of the Revolutionary War.
" 'Theyβre taking away my Social Security and my #MaineCare away from me...which side are you on?' Olivia McDermott, who has #DownSyndrome, said.
"McDermott came to advocate for herself and others who have #disabilities who depend on #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid.
" 'I get really upset that this is happening to me and other people with #disabilities. They go to school like this, and I donβt want people to feel uncomfortable about it,' McDermott said.
"Olivia's mom, Maura Mcdermott, is a #SpecialEducationTeacher. She's worried the $Trump administration could take away those benefits.
" 'We need to not cut the services. We need to expand #MedicaidForAll people, and we need to #TaxTheRich. Enough of this,' Maura said.
"Other protestors voiced concerns about state politics, specifically about Maine senators.
" '#SusanCollins had better vote 'no, no, no' to the #SAVEAct because those are all voting rights, and we need voting for next election,' Nina McKee, a Scarborough resident, said.
"Despite the anniversary of the #AmericanRevolution, protesters on Saturday said there's little to feel #patriotic about.
" 'I canβt even express the need for us to stand up against what is happening in our country. It is beyond consumption,' McKee said.
" 'Thereβs no good thing going on right now, so any change is for the better,' Duncan Potter, a Brunswick resident, said."

PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Making their voices be heard on a day of #revolution, a rally on Saturday pays tribute to the #250thAnniversary of the 'shot heard around the world,' a day that marks the start of the Revolutionary War.
" 'Theyβre taking away my Social Security and my #MaineCare away from me...which side are you on?' Olivia McDermott, who has #DownSyndrome, said.
"McDermott came to advocate for herself and others who have #disabilities who depend on #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid.
" 'I get really upset that this is happening to me and other people with #disabilities. They go to school like this, and I donβt want people to feel uncomfortable about it,' McDermott said.
"Olivia's mom, Maura Mcdermott, is a #SpecialEducationTeacher. She's worried the $Trump administration could take away those benefits.
" 'We need to not cut the services. We need to expand #MedicaidForAll people, and we need to #TaxTheRich. Enough of this,' Maura said.
"Other protestors voiced concerns about state politics, specifically about Maine senators.
" '#SusanCollins had better vote 'no, no, no' to the #SAVEAct because those are all voting rights, and we need voting for next election,' Nina McKee, a Scarborough resident, said.
"Despite the anniversary of the #AmericanRevolution, protesters on Saturday said there's little to feel #patriotic about.
" 'I canβt even express the need for us to stand up against what is happening in our country. It is beyond consumption,' McKee said.
" 'Thereβs no good thing going on right now, so any change is for the better,' Duncan Potter, a Brunswick resident, said."
