Organized by Women’s March, the Free America Walkout calls for nationwide walkouts on Jan. 20 at 2 p.m. local time, urging people to leave work, school and stores to demonstrate collective power; events are planned in cities like Washington, D.C., Houston and Oklahoma City, with alternatives for those who can’t risk disciplinary action. The protests mark the one-year anniversary of Trump’s return to the White House and come as the administration faces scrutiny following a Minneapolis shooting by a federal immigration agent.

The Women's March and other reproductive rights groups organized the "#StillTheResistance" day of action to reflect on the fall of Roe and advocate for reproductive health as abortion access becomes increasingly limited by some state legislatures. More than a dozen states have implemented full or partial bans on abortion, with Georgia prohibiting the procedure at six weeks. The battle for abortion access has also continued in state courtrooms, with abortion rights advocates seeking to block restrictive laws.
