The Day of Action (sometimes National Day of Action)[1] was a series of protests against the Donald Trump administration, held on April 19, 2025.[2][3][4] Approximately 600 to 700 events were organized.[5][6]

The Day of Action was part of the 50501 protests organized by the 50501 movement. The demonstrations on April 19 followed the Hands Off protests held on April 5, 2025.
