Approximately 200 Hoosiers gathered at the Indiana Statehouse on Wednesday to protest President Donald Trump and top adviser Elon Musk. The protestors, part of the #50501 movement, marched for five hours in chilly rain, carrying signs denouncing the administration’s policies on immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and other issues. The event, organized on social media, saw similar protests in other states.
Speakers at the event expressed concerns about voter suppression and Musk’s power and views on transgender rights. Kristen Krueger, a participant, criticized Musk for his stance on transgender issues and his government contracts. Another organizer, Christian Hess, highlighted Indiana bills linked to a conservative plan aligned with Trump. These bills include proposals to criminalize drag shows and restrict “no-fault divorces.”
Despite the inclement weather, the turnout for the protest was described as “amazing” by organizers. Hess emphasized that the event was just the beginning of their efforts and that they would continue to organize and mobilize around issues that are important to Hoosiers.
The protest at the Indiana Statehouse was part of a nationwide movement to voice opposition to the Trump administration’s policies and actions. Participants expressed a commitment to standing up for the rights of marginalized communities and continuing to fight for justice and equality.
