Presidents' Day, celebrated on the third Monday of February, originally honored George Washington's birthday before the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1971 broadened its significance to recognize the presidency overall. This year, the holiday coincides with the #50501 Movement, which has arranged numerous nationwide protests against the actions of the Trump administration, striving to uphold the Constitution and denouncing executive overreach. While many view Presidents' Day as an opportunity for shopping and a long weekend, it has also become a platform for political expression across the United States.
The origins of Presidents' Day date back to George Washington's birthday, celebrated until 1971 when it became a holiday honoring the presidency as a whole.
The #50501 Movement has organized over 80 peaceful protests in all 50 states against perceived executive overreach by the Trump administration since it took office.
