The Democratic National Committee and more than three dozen groups are planning events across 20 states on Saturday, according to details first shared with NBC News.

Dozens of liberal groups unveiled plans Tuesday to hold around 50 events across 20 states to protest Republican redistricting efforts in Texas backed by President Donald Trump.

The demonstrations scheduled for Saturday — branded as “Fight the Trump Takeover” — are being organized by more than three dozen groups, including the Democratic National Committee, according to plans shared first with NBC News.

“Trump knows the only way he can hold the majority after his budget betrayal is by changing the rules in the middle of the game to avoid accountability for ripping health care and food away from millions of Americans,” said DNC Chair Ken Martin in a statement, referring to Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill that he signed into law last month.
