1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.

The same people blaming the protesters since 2020 now suddenly want to know why we’re not in the streets? They’re always 17 steps behind. Oh now we wanna talk about Bernie? Jfc.
I got it from multiple sources and I’m showing up. I’m a white woman from CT and am forwarding an action of something we can do. I really hope it’s not ICE bait but no one else has mentioned this.
This Wednesday, 2/5, 50 Marches, 50 States in all state capitals. Also posted PA info for my state. Western PA peeps, there's also a march in Pittsburgh. For info on individual state, Google your state name, 50 marches 50 states.
I'm seeing a lot of these calls for protest. There's no group listed, no sponsor. There doesn't have to be, but I've been to enough of these to know that one has to be careful. Anyone know of the origin of this?
I'm following up here. It appears to have been started in a subreddit /r/50501 I think it's legit, with the interesting angle of no labels. It makes the umbrella very wide.
These are the different times per time zone so everyone is starting at the same time: 1pm Pacific, 2pm Mountain, 3pm Central, 4pm Eastern.

Indivisible is asking everyone to show up IN PERSON to their local Senate offices THIS WEEK and make demands to stop and slow walk the coup. Lots of events in different states and Washington DC, as well as talking points and guides, can be found at https://indivisible.org/ You can also post your own event.
Thanks for this thread. Media that are pro F47 are not going to disseminate news about protests. This is a good platform to keeping up to date on where people are protesting.
Also feel free to substitute your own appropriate F word. :-)
I refuse to use that guy's name. Not in the Voldemort sense but in the "he doesn't deserve even that much respect" sense.
Reddit is a source for a lot of things, I guess depending on what you're looking for.

Legit. Go peacefully. Take off work. Wear our flag colors.
So many people are on board with this tomorrow!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Why didn't ICE raid the Hispanic gatherings? Be your own hero!
I don't mean to be snarky about it, but poor and working class people are absolutely drowning and it needs to be highlighted. Thanks for understanding.
There's something extremely fishy about this... and don't get me wrong, I want people to mobilize! Also search #shutdown315 for more strange protests that come from extremely questionable sources. No endorsements either. Something isn't right.
Yes, I believe that it is. The #shutdown315 for sure. I've also considered this is just amateur activists looking to do something. But to me, it looks more like the far-right punking us. Am I crazy? Maybe, but what's crazy these days?
It's unusual that no orgs or left groups are sponsoring these demos... outside of anarchists, I've never seen this in my 30+ years of organizing and attending demonstrations. Ok, we're in new territory, and there are good reasons to be more anonymous, but...

Veterans should wear their uniforms and protest with the public. It would send a profound message to our current military. Imagine seeing thousands of veterans walking in solidarity with the rest of us.
Each state has to organize this themselves, so there's not one simple link to who is organizing it. If you visit this Reddit group, and find your state, there will be more information posted about the one being organized at your capital.
People wanted to see people doing something and this "unorganized" movement was thrown out there. Even so, people have pulled permits for events tomorrow. There will be more organized events in the future, for sure. This is more of a "how many people can we get together" thing.

Then the answer is "no one". If sponsors can't seem to identify themselves, demonstrate a permit, or share their safety plan, it's completely suspect. That has not occured.
If you go to the Reddit and click on your state, many have proof of permits. My state has one. They are on here too, if that helps. @50501movement.bsky.social
It does not help. A proper march would include identifiable leads, sponsors, a petition of actions, a permit, and a formal logistics and safety plan; THEN it would be publicized. This is just a publicized free-for-all. Where's all the other stuff?
They reported 1000 people showed up in Raleigh. I was there and they would not let us on the capital one but the crowd wrapped all the way around the block!! so many people showed up
That is beautiful to see! We're estimating anywhere from 200-400 in Concord, NH, which doesn't seem like a lot, but it is pretty good for us in comparison to past protests at our Capitol!
But who is running the subreddit? It was started on Jan 25. What orgs are involved? Why do we think this isn't just a way to distract us into motion, or worse, to get us to assemble and then attack us?
Everyone is being summoned by regular citizens to protest at their state capitols. It's an organic thing, not sponsored by anyone or anything specific.
The ultimate crowdsourcing!!
There's one happening tomorrow in Manhattan to protest NYU Langone's recent cancelations of trans kids' medical appointments in response to Trump's EO.
And here in the extremely red state of Missouri, university students protested immigration and deportation crackdown. This happened after the local state university ended its DEI.
Name one Democrat with any name recognition who is participating in, promoting, or leading any protests or resistance. The one I am hoping for is AOC, but she doesn’t seem to be stepping up… at least not yet.
That’s can be true. There also might be great organizations in your city that are already organizing, printing signs, arranging car pools, and have lots of experience and knowhow. That is the point of this post.

You're right; we've been comfortable and complacent, and few of us who can, really have to turn out for the ones we left behind.
I've seen a *lot* of people doing things for the first time and making beginners mistakes, this week.
I'm going to be *super* embarrassed if there's no march in DC...
*Everything* looks sketch to me, at this point.
It may be a trap. Or it may be our best chance to show that the police and armed forces are on our side.
I plan to talk to the police and survey the area beforehand.

We are in an absolute crisis !!! What else to do but show up? If we can’t even risk that, how will we stop the onslaught?
