If you’re a blue voter in a red state - they’re your representatives and senators too! Give them grief and demand they do their actual jobs of checking the power of the president and following the rule of law.
Help defray the costs for “name your price” attorneys who represent tenants and protesters. They don’t even break even, their own profession loathes them, and they’re doing work that must continue. Ask @leftistlawyer.com how to help her.
This will not stand! Trump is now going to issue an Executive Order against paper straws! Our decade of struggle to embrace these will not be for naught! We need to rally!
This plan seems to have been out in the open & Congress appears to know, but because it’s so outrageous, what’s required to implement it is “massive” & no one believes it could happen because of the many “Checks & Balances” we have in place… Yet here we are‼️
1/2 It’s not just Project 2025– It’s also what they call “The New Reality” — Which is everything Elon Musk is doing! This is based on Curtis Yarvin’s idea—JD Vance is enthralled with him!
Court orders are not gonna work, Trump has already been ignoring injunctions as planned!
What comes next for people who can’t be there on Monday? How are we supposed to connect with anyone? (Genuine question I am scared and alone and desperate for local community)
50501 Movement - keep fighting for righteousness, justice, democracy and humanity. I hope and pray the organization grows and can implement sustainable change in DC! For united we stand, divided we fall.
Hello, my name is Spider or Fox (My usual online names) I have been part of Indiana's Progressive Victory work for about half a year or more but am very Interest in on the ground protesting and activism, I am wondering how to join Indiana's 50501 movement. Does anyone know how to contact them?
America, we're about to find out if our brothers & sisters, our sons & daughters, our fathers & mothers, who are in the military serve the Constitution or if they serve Trump.
I hope for our nation's sake that the military leaders who said they prepared for this were thorough. [1/2]
Boycott the superbowl! They are covering up the anti-racist posters in the stadium because cheeto will be there. It’s not my idea — but a good one! Imagine how the low views will hurt advertisers and orange attention seekers. You have a platform to push this idea out if you agree.
I feel that could backfire. I’m all for protests this weekend but not against the Superbowl specifically. Let people enjoy themselves too. Life is hard and Trump is only making it harder.
I’m suggesting. We need some organizers who have done this kind of thing before. I know you need permits for assembly on the Capitol Mall, Porto-potties, etc. Mostly, we need some big names sponsoring and promoting. Like Dem Reps & Senators
Well I think it’s an amazing suggestion. There was a democratic politician from TX who was at the 50501 protest in Austin. I can’t remember his name, but I can dig & reach out to him to inquire. Possibly get some wheels in motion.
This free online library housed in Australia contains tons of user-friendly interviews, articles, and modules on effective activism, supported by decades of research & evidence. Wonderful info for new and seasoned activists.
Excellent work by all!! Just an idea,what do you think of created a logo? Then create signs/stickers. So when people ask about it, we explain about this movement?
I want to get involved, but I didn't know about the protests until they were over. Now, your next steps has no specifics. How do I get involved and know the date time of the next event.
Same!! I've been posting everywhere trying to find SOMETHING to do in my area and I can't find anything. Then the day after this happens it's everywhere. Wtf. I need information!!
I found it in advance. Someone had posted a hashtag in a comment on a New York Times article, so I went looking for it. You just have to keep looking; there’s no pre-existing movement to build on, so this is a grass roots thing that’s just getting started. Share whatever you find.
I'm calling my reps/senator/AG daily!! I'm ready for another protest. Let's get one on the books!
I'm in OK and we are in desperate need of organization and awareness here. I'm down to help.
Let's go!!!
Looking for the next protest, it is February 8 I live in Northern California and I’m willing to travel to stand up against Donald Trump. I am a federal worker for the USDA and it is horrible within our agency right now.
Confused about the Reddit post banning photos but the Twitter account promoting posting them. Also looking for someone in the TN area to reach out to. We have some major issues that need addressing.
Does anyone know if the movement has state based groups anywhere yet? I'd like to know when and where to be next time before the day of so I can have sitters lined up for my kiddos.
I'm cleaning up my BLM protest gear for the next one. ✊️
Starting to get frustrated trying to get ahold of anyone.. only person from my state I’ve connected with online is someone who is trying to co-opt the movement and tell queer POC they can’t protest the police. It’s a nightmare
Hi Folks
I want to suggest that we need to come up with a strategy and then tactics to follow. I suggest we all read From Dictatorship to Democracy by Gene Sharp. Go to the chapter on strategic planning and then let's all discuss on a zoom call.
Miss S, I have been studying #FD2D "From Dictatorship to Democracy" and highlighting parts of it over the last few weeks. Still kinda solo, but interested in talking with others.
Let's have Movement 50501 call for the meeting.
I read this during the first Trump administration and it makes very clear what we need to do which includes unifying all of these groups who are reacting to what is going on.
Don't forget it's all about the money, greed and power.
I’m also in healthcare. I hate that it’s come to this bc many kids will suffer; we know this too. They aren’t expendable, I just think we don’t know what else to do. 😮💨
We need to have a set time to protest every week preferably on a Saturday or Sunday so more people can come. And then the same people don't have to come every week. It needs to be in the states' biggest cities, not necessarily the capital. I live in VT, protest in Burlington not Montpelier, etc.
Feb 28th, economic blackout protest. Don’t buy anything, don’t order anything, don’t sell anything, don’t get gas that day, don’t use paid services that day. 24hours. Spread this information far and wide.
I think we should reclaim the flag, make it a part of our everyday lives as a symbol to unite behind. They can't "other" us if we're proudly and unashamedly American, and being American means we DON'T stand for fascism, and we have NO KING!
What a wonderful idea! My father and my uncles did not fight in WWII for this. In fact, my ancestors did not fight in the Civil War and the American Revolution for this. I will proudly be wearing my father's Coast Guard pin every day from now on (along with my Make Lying Wrong Again baseball cap!)
I personally don’t have any attachment to the flag and won’t be using it, but I do like the idea of using it rather than desecrating it as a statement. Being unnecessarily inflammatory isn’t going to help anyone.
Yeah absolutely. I just think that branding would then need to be explained. The sound bites would transform into a narrative of “radical leftists” 😒 and all that jazz. A color that’s unaffiliated with either party would be neutral and more difficult to hijack
How do I touch base with a Mod/Admin of this page? I'm the official Admin for [50501 Activists] on Facebook partnered with 50501 Reddit. We're trying to stay as organized as possible in the upcoming weeks and are trying to outreach on all platforms. PLEASE touch base with me so we can get organized!
We need weekly protests, but we need centralized place for communication. I knew nothing of the last protest. So many are off Facebook because of Zuc. The PR machine needs a boost. I had never heard of 50501, but I’m an old broad. ;) I will look at Reddit , too
What’s the subreddit? Following you here already, but want to be part of the conversation on Reddit too. I missed last week just like the previous poster.
Keep in mind they may be just regular people who have lives and work. They may be organizing in their free time. It’s frustrating, I understand that, but keeping engagement while another date is decided may be one of the best ways to keep us going. Get constructive feedback from people while we wait
I want to do it again for the same town but next time with people. My spouse does not want me to be alone after the 2/5/25 especially as this picks up. Ty
OP, I went 2/5/25 alone in a non-capital town and walked alone. Are we allowed to post our photos and allowed to use the hashtags https://www.reddit.com/r/50501/s/6ka5hXWzfs
Collaborating with local open air market organizers would also not only help out small businesses, but maintain a healthy atmosphere as well as take away the excuse that protests hurt small businesses the most. Plus long running vending events can impact the most people.
Linking up with other movements like the #generalstrike would be a good idea. On top of that we need more events, and more people. Try rolling other events into the protests as well. That way more people come in and it’s harder for bad actors to disrupt an organized concert or movie showing.
This is an incredible wife and husband run channel that does an equally incredible job talking about community organization, disaster response as well as current events, political analysis, and political philosophy especially pertaining to what’s happening right now.

People will be out of jobs, so help with the same fervor of protest marching.
And, prepare for the next protest march. ✊🏽 #Resist

For WA state? Looking to sync up with others to help.

You best vote like crazy and organize.
Vought intends to use the military on protestors.
Sway the senate. Sway your Republicans. Make them see that Vought will destroy this nation, and they won't have lives let alone political careers.
After much reflection, research and tears - I believe this grassroots effort is our key to the future.

All states again. I like the idea of DC but this is grassroots and DC isn't where the power is anymore. It's ours.
PROTEST MONDAY, FEB 17 NOON
EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP ON FEB 5, WE HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN
BRING AT LEAST ONE NEW PERSON WITH YOU
U.S. Capitol Switchboard:
(202) 224-3121
Call. Call again. Ask a friend to call. Get LOUD!
WE outnumber THEM, and they know it.

Do. NOT. Comply. In. Advance.

I am with you. We are in this together.
I'm going to join protests, retract my spending steaply, and continue to support those who are not handling all this as well.
I think those of us in healthcare are more capable of supporting ourselves and others.
#50501 #BuildTheResistance
Organizing has begun
Notable: Union Square 1 PM
All 50 states protesting in union, as in literally at the same time, is gonna be key here I think.
Let’s keep up the momentum.
