Amid rising tensions following the US military strike on Iran, the 50501 movement and other activist groups are planning “No More War” protests across the country on Sunday. This comes after President Donald Trump’s announcement on Saturday evening, when he revealed that the US had attacked Iranian sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The strike marks the first US intervention in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.

Another set of anti-Trump protests planned in July
Another wave of national anti-Trump protests is set to take place across the U.S. on July 17, organized under the banner Good Trouble Lives On. The demonstrations are inspired by the legacy of civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis.
These protests are being planned across the US in various cities such as New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, with people invited to “March in Peace, Act in Power.”
The protests, outlined in their downloadable “Host Toolkit” for organizers, have three main objectives. These goals wish to put an end to “the extreme crackdown on civil rights by the Trump administration,” “the attacks on Black and brown Americans, immigrants, trans people, and other communities,” and “the slashing of programs that working people rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security.”
