Key Issues Fueling Public Anger
1. Immigration Policies and Deportations: “This is not justice—this is cruelty.”
We’re angry. Not because we’re unpatriotic. Not because we don’t believe in borders. But because we’ve watched this administration trample on human dignity in the name of security. The so-called “zero tolerance” approach has become zero compassion.
-
Mass deportations of people who have lived, worked, and raised families here—many for decades—are tearing communities apart. The use of the Alien Enemies Act to expel Venezuelan migrants without trial is a horrifying abuse of power. These aren’t just faceless “illegals”—these are neighbors, friends, and classmates.
-
We’re outraged by the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legal resident deported against a court order. Let that sink in. The courts told the administration to stand down, and they did it anyway. That’s not law and order—that’s tyranny.
We ask: Who’s next? Who’s safe? Because if the government can ignore the courts now, what’s stopping it from ignoring all of us tomorrow?
2. Cuts to Social Programs: “You’re robbing us of our future to pad the pockets of billionaires.”
We’ve spent our lives paying into Social Security and Medicare, believing we’d have a safety net when we needed it. And now? The administration is threatening to slash the very programs that keep millions afloat. Older Americans, disabled individuals, low-income families—we’re being told, “Too bad. Figure it out yourselves.”
Meanwhile, billionaires like Elon Musk are running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where “efficiency” means gutting federal agencies, laying off public workers, and privatizing what used to be accessible to all.
We’re not fooled. These so-called “cost-saving” measures are code for cruelty—and we are done watching the government work for the elite while abandoning the rest of us.
3. Civil Rights and LGBTQ+ Protections: “You’re erasing who we are—and we’re not going away.”
We’re angry because the administration has declared open season on the LGBTQ+ community, especially transgender Americans. Executive Order 14168 has made it harder for trans people to change gender markers on passports, and some are being forcibly transferred to prisons that don’t match their gender.
This isn’t policy—it’s deliberate dehumanization.
And it gets worse: they’ve shut down DHS oversight offices meant to protect immigrants and LGBTQ+ individuals from gender-based violence. Survivors now have no place to turn.
We see what this is: an attempt to erase us from public life, to bully people back into the closet, to silence vulnerable voices. We will not be silent. We will not be invisible. And we are not going away.
4. Economic Policies and Tariffs: “Your trade war is hurting us—not the people you say it’s aimed at.”
You told us tariffs would make America strong. All they’ve made us is broke and pissed off.
-
Grocery prices are up.
-
Tools and supplies cost more.
-
Jobs in export industries are disappearing.
Farmers can’t sell their crops because global partners are retaliating. Small business owners are laying off workers because import costs are skyrocketing. We’re being hit from all sides—while corporate execs still get tax breaks and government contracts.
And while we struggle, Trump keeps running his mouth, further damaging relationships with allies like Canada, Germany, and Japan. They’ve responded with boycotts, tariffs of their own, and an overwhelming sense that America has lost its way.
We’re tired of slogans. We want sanity. And we want leaders who understand that economic policy isn’t a game—it’s our lives.
5. Suppression of Scientific Research: “You’re cutting the future right out from under us.”
Scientists are being fired. Grants are being gutted. And the future is being sold off to the highest bidder.
We’re angry because this administration has declared war on truth, facts, and progress. Brilliant minds are being silenced for political convenience. Climate change, public health, education—it’s all being twisted by partisan agendas.
We’ve had Marches for Science and we’re planning more, because what’s at stake isn’t just funding—it’s our children’s futures, our health, and the survival of the planet.
We don’t want to go back to the dark ages. We want a country that invests in knowledge, not suppresses it.
6. Erosion of Democratic Norms: “This isn’t just policy—it’s authoritarianism.”
Let’s be real. We’re not just mad—we’re terrified. When a government ignores court orders, suspends oversight, and punishes dissent, we’re no longer talking about politics. We’re talking about a threat to democracy.
-
Peaceful protests are being surveilled and suppressed.
-
Journalists are being branded enemies.
-
Legal checks are being tossed aside like they don’t matter.
This isn’t how a democracy behaves. This is how authoritarians consolidate power. And we’re not standing for it.
Why We March: Hands Off, 50501, and More
We came out in the millions on April 5, 2025, for the Hands Off! Protests—screaming not just in rage, but in resistance. Our message was clear:
🛑 Hands off our healthcare.
🛑 Hands off our rights.
🛑 Hands off our science, our safety, our democracy.
The 50501 Movement is growing because we know change doesn’t happen in silence. We’re organizing in every state, every city, every town. And we’re not stopping until this administration hears us—or is replaced.
Final Word: We’re Angry Because We Care
We’re not angry because we hate America. We’re angry because we love it too much to let it be dismantled by people who care more about power than people.
We’ve had enough. And we’re fighting back—at the ballot box, in the streets, and online—because our future depends on it.
