Turnout for July 26 Families First protests against Trump's 'big beautiful bill' and Medicaid cuts expected in all 50 states: What to know

On Saturday, July 26, a nationwide demonstration called Families First is planned, drawing tens of thousands of people across all 50 states. Participants include families, caregivers, and religious leaders who aim to protest against the Trump administration's policies. The protests will focus on the impact of cuts to Medicaid, environmental protections, and harsh immigration policies resulting in ICE raids. Organizers emphasize the need for family-friendly events to raise awareness about healthcare, safety, food, education, and climate action for families and children in the U.S.

"At a time when too many families are already struggling to afford what they need, these cuts will take away families' healthcare coverage, food, and essential care, and some families have already had loved ones disappeared by ICE."

"Families First is a nationwide day of action with family-friendly rallies, youth art-making fairs, teach-ins, canned-food drives, and community events to raise awareness about the need for healthcare, safety, food, education, and climate action to protect children and families in the United States."
