Protests against Trump administration planned across Vermont this week
VERMONT (ABC22/FOX44) – A Vermont group that lists as its three core values to 'uphold the constitution', 'end executive overreach', and 'resist peacefully' is holding multiple protest events this week in Burlington and across the state.
50501 Vermont is the state's chapter of the 50501 movement, which stands for 'fifty protests, fifty states, one day'. The movement held its first protest in February of this year, and its 'Not My President's Day' protests on February 17 were covered by ABC22/FOX44.

The group is holding what it calls an 'emergency protest' at Burlington's City Hall Park on Tuesday in solidarity with recent protests in Los Angeles and elsewhere. The protest is scheduled to last from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10.
50501, along with other groups in Vermont, previously announced 'No Kings Day' on Saturday, June 14, which will coincide with a military parade in Washington D.C.. The events on Saturday are scheduled to include over 20 local events, including a 'Route 7 Relay for Democracy', which will feature an American flag being driven from Williamstown, MA north to Swanton, following a route parallel to U.S. Route 7. June 14 is the nation's traditional Flag Day.
