Demonstrators gathered in cities across the U.S. on Wednesday to protest the Trump administrationā€™s early actions, decrying everything from the presidentā€™s immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

The protests were a result of a movement that has organized online under the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501, which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one day. Websites and accounts across social media issued calls for action, with messages such as ā€œreject fascismā€ and ā€œdefend our democracy.ā€
