More than 1K rally outside Olympia Capitol in '50 states, 50 protests' demonstration

In Olympia, Washington, over 1,000 protesters gathered outside the Capitol for the "50 States – 50 Protests" movement, a grassroots initiative against the Trump administration's divisive policies. The rally was marked by chants and signs advocating for reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and immigrant rights, reflecting widespread discontent with recent executive orders. Organizer Kyle Bozich underscored the urgency for investigating the administration's actions, particularly regarding the impact on marginalized communities. Protesters expressed their frustrations over Project 2025, fearing restrictions on reproductive rights and cuts to essential services. Among those in attendance, a U.

S. Navy veteran voiced concerns about Trump's leadership, stating that he was "determined to destroy the country. " The event remained peaceful, with only one individual supporting Trump. Activists plan to continue their efforts, including a protest against ICE scheduled for February 8. The movement, fueled by social media, seeks to ensure that lawmakers are held accountable for their actions.
