The view from the top of the State Capitol shows seemingly endless signs Monday, Feb. 17, 2025. Californians showed up en masse to join the the protest against Project 2025.

After a successful gathering at the California State Capitol on Feb. 5, 2025, the 50501 Movement began working on a second protest that took place Monday. The group proved to be even bigger than before, as they overfilled the space they were permitted to protest in.
