Mass movements against the Trump administration are poised to take a different form in year two: more disruptive and potentially more violent.

Why it matters: Tens of thousands of Americans are expected to participate in walkouts on Tuesday, the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration, setting the stage for what future resistance could look like.

• “The vanguard in this are starting to think about how … one day, peaceful, legally permitted marches are not enough to push back” against the administration, Dana Fisher, a professor at American University’s School of International Service, said.
• “And they’re starting to think through what types of tactics are ones that people are comfortable with and would be willing and open to participating in to expand the toolbox.”

Driving the news: To mark the second year of Trump’s term, people are encouraged to walk out of work, school and commerce on Jan. 20 at 2pm local time as part of the “Free America” protest.

• “A free America begins the moment we refuse to cooperate,” the movement’s website said. “This is not a request. This is a rupture. This is a protest and a promise. In the face of fascism, we will be ungovernable.”
• About 800 Free America events were planned as of Monday afternoon, with more than 38,200 RSVPs.

The other side: “President Trump is making America greater than ever before for all Americans,” White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a Monday statement.

“Our folks want to do more than just mass mobilization,” said Tamika Middleton, the managing director of Women’s March, which organized the walkout. “They want to actually say that we withdraw our consent from what is happening” in this administration.

• Tuesday’s protests follow several high-profile events in Minnesota after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. Those protests prompted Trump to threaten to invoke the rarely used Insurrection Act, though he said Friday that there is currently “no reason” to do so.

The big picture: Last year, protest turnout peaked at 7 million people during second No Kings rally in October. Future protests could see 12 million participants, or about 3.5% of the U.S. population, per the Center for American Progress.

• 3.5% of a population is considered the point at which it’s difficult for governments to ignore calls for change, Harvard Kennedy School research shows.
