Marietta, GA - This Saturday, August 2nd, Cobb County residents will be taking to the streets to join in the nationwide protest “Rage Against the Regime.” The local rally, organized by Indivisible Cobb, is being held in conjunction with more than 400 other locally organized protests across the country as a nationwide demonstration challenging a myriad of Trump administration policies that, according to organizers, are threatening the very foundations of our democracy.
The protests are being coordinated by the 50501 Movement, a grassroots initiative founded in the early days after Donald Trump's second inauguration. The group’s name represents its mission -- uniting 50 states, inspiring 50 protests, all under 1 movement. They organized the “May Day Strong” rallies and have been involved in several other events since June, including "No Kings," "Good Trouble Lives On" and "Free America."
In a press release, 50501 has described this Saturday’s event as "a mass mobilization to channel our collective rage against the Trump administration for its weaponization of ICE against our communities, construction of concentration camps, covering up the Epstein files, attacks on transgender rights, and its dismantling of Medicaid, SNAP, USAID, the Department of Education, NOAA, and the National Weather Service into collective action."
Stacey Parlotto, one of the leaders of Cobb Indivisible, added “If you are not outraged by Trump’s reign of terror, you are not paying attention to the alarming erosion of democratic norms, attacks on truth, and the marginalization of vulnerable communities. Trump’s actions have normalized extremism, incited violence, and undermined institutions meant to protect civil rights and social justice. Now, how about releasing those Epstein files?”
The Cobb Indivisible group was founded in March of 2025 as the nation responded with growing opposition to many of the Trump administration’s initiatives. The local “No Kings” rally the group organized in June drew more than 2,000 Cobb County residents.
