On Presidents’ Day, the 50501 Movement organized nationwide protests against President Trump and Elon Musk, focusing on concerns over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its impact on Social Security. Demonstrations took place in major cities, with protesters criticizing Musk’s unelected role and the administration’s policies.
In Albany, New York, hundreds rallied at the State Capitol under the “No Kings” campaign. In Boston, nearly 1,000 marched from the Statehouse to City Hall, chanting against Musk’s influence. Houston saw protesters at City Hall denouncing potential cuts to federal programs.
The protests gained momentum following the resignation of Michelle King, acting Social Security commissioner, after disputes with DOGE over access to sensitive records. The 50501 Movement remains committed to countering perceived executive overreach.
