HOUSTON, TX — A coalition of advocacy groups in Houston is preparing to stage a protest at City Hall this Tuesday, marking the anniversary of President Donald Trump’s second inauguration with renewed calls for his removal from office.

The rally, scheduled to begin around 1:30 p.m., is being organized by local and national groups including Women’s March, 50501 Houston, and Free Speech for People. Organizers say the event is meant to draw attention to growing concerns over executive power, constitutional rights, and the direction of the federal government.

The Houston gathering is part of a larger nationwide day of action, with similar events planned in multiple cities. Supporters of the movement are also being encouraged to participate in a coordinated walkout at 2 p.m., stepping away from work or school to demonstrate collective opposition and civic resistance.

According to organizers, the goal is to show how much everyday participation matters in a democratic system and to highlight what they see as threats to civil liberties and the rule of law. Protesters are expected to carry signs, chant slogans, and hold peaceful demonstrations throughout the afternoon.

The White House pushed back against the planned protests, with an administration spokesperson stating that the president’s policies are strengthening the country and benefiting Americans nationwide.

The demonstration comes during a period of heightened political tension, as Trump’s second term has been marked by aggressive executive actions, controversial immigration enforcement, and sharp divisions over foreign and domestic policy. These developments have sparked protests across the country, especially in major cities like Houston, where political activism remains strong.

Organizers say Tuesday’s rally is about more than a single protest — it is meant to send a message that public pressure and civic engagement remain powerful tools in shaping the nation’s future.
