Pro-Trump rally, anti-Trump protest set in Anchorage as Trump visit nears

Protest

Anchorage is bracing for two days of high-profile demonstrations this week, as political groups take to the streets ahead of and during President Donald Trump’s visit to Alaska.

On Thursday, anti-Trump organizations, led by the Outside-based 50501 group, along with Stand Up Alaska, Alaska Forward, and Alaska March On, will rally along the Seward Highway at the Midtown Mall from 4:30 to 5:30 pm. The event is billed as “Alaska Stands with Ukraine,” described by organizers as a peaceful protest in solidarity with the Eastern European nation.

The 50501 group, a prominent anti-Trump organization, has been publicly praised by US Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Earlier this year, she told public broadcasting listeners: “I think that type of engagement is important and people shouldn’t feel discouraged because, ‘well, I haven’t seen anything change since the last week that I went to go protest.’ Keep the engagement up.” Murkowski has in recent months encouraged Alaskans to protest Trump directly.

Pro-Ukraine voices take to the streets in Anchorage just hours before U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet for a high-stakes summit on Ukraine.

Activists gathered with flags, placards, and chants demanding justice for Ukraine and calling for a fair, lasting peace. The protest comes as global attention focuses on Alaska, where the two leaders will attempt to negotiate an end to the war sparked by Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion.

"Anchorage can expect a politically charged weekend that will spotlight the patriotic Alaskans and the ones who hate Trump and everything he does."
