Protesters across the US and abroad gathered for a second wave of nationwide rallies against Donald Trump's presidency, with over 400 demonstrations organized by the group 50501 aiming to build a movement for political change, The Guardian reported on Saturday.

By early afternoon, major protests had erupted in cities like Washington, New York, and Chicago, with additional demonstrations across multiple US states and even abroad, including in Dublin, Ireland, as people voiced opposition to Trump's agenda.

More than 400 events were scheduled, with the majority informally organized by the organization 50501, which stands for 50 demonstrations in 50 states, one movement.

Opponents of Trump's government rallied from the east coast to the west, including in Portland, Maine and Portland, Oregon, to condemn what they perceive as dangers to the country's democratic values.

Midtown Manhattan, a rally in front of the White House, and a demonstration at a Massachusetts celebration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolutionary War were included in the events.

One protester told The New York Times it felt the country was being lost, emphasizing, “I’m worried for my grandchildren" as protesters echoed similar concerns against the current administration. 

The organization has held four protests since Trump's inauguration on January 20. Previous activities included a "No Kings Day" on President's Day, February 17, a topic chosen before Trump referred to himself as a king in a social media post days later.

The newest protests are expected to draw 11 million people, or 3.5% of the US population, according to organizers.

Such a figure would most likely exceed the number of people who attended the "Hands Off" rallies on April 5, when 1,200 demonstrations were held across the United States to protest Trump's attack on government agencies and institutions, which was spearheaded by tech billionaire Elon Musk and his unofficial "department of government efficiency" (Doge).

The movement that organized the "Hands Off" protests stated that it wanted to convey a message to opposition lawmakers and regular citizens that open opposition to Trump's policies was critical. It also stated that it hoped to generate momentum for future, greater rallies.
