Every single Democrat in the house needs to be screaming fascism ALL day in front of the news so Americans and really the world sees they are fighting for us.
We must show our numbers !!! Scream constitutional crisis! Please SIGN and SHARE! We need to organize !
I mean what's the point?
You think Trump or is sycophants are gonna change their mind? is it just to be "heard".
Maybe it'll get people on international news. Cool.
People need to adapt. That's it.
We too (Virginia Dems) should post that this 50State event is a FALSE call to action as explained below. This type of misinformation from MAGA operatives will be nonstop to sow confusion. We have to be extremely careful about the info we share.
He lied again ! Said 100 million to Gaza for condoms! There was $ sent to Gaza for health relief and the contractor that worked on this said no condoms were sent to Gaza!
It's worse than that. He said 50 million, but that is the entirety of the contraceptive budget for all of USAID (aids/hiv aide), some of which goes to Gaza Mozambique. None of which goes to Gaza. The idiots are in charge.
Living in a red state, like I do, causes this to be incredibly dangerous. I applaud anyone that goes. I'm unwilling to become their direct target as I have personally seen the vandalisation performed on the properties of peaceful protesters in this area and I only have one life and one car.
Outside the polls here on election day we could see vandalized vehicles spray painted and damaged for having anything democrat on them. Far enough away to not be seen but close enough to send a message.
Something like this would be cool, but on a Wednesday at noon? In your state capital? My state capital has a population ⅒ the size of it's major cities.
I’m sorry I don’t live near my State Capitol to participate! But I’ll be at all 50 State Capitols in spirit…and I will wear BLUE from head to toe 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
It's a dismantling of our government by coup. I did NOT receive my Social Security check today as scheduled. My account was "Suspended." fElon Musk and his operatives have already tampered with the system. They need to be arrested NOW.
Those of you spreading fear are doing so much harm. Resistance is not easy and takes courage. You sow doubt into those who might be on the edge of resisting in the first place. Do not project your fear into those taking action.
Thanks for the TikTok heads up. I’m not on there, so didn’t know. Although, I watched the Indivisible Zoom call that was posted on YouTube this morning. They specifically called out 50501 for flooding the chat and asked them to stop. I’m happy they’re enthusiastic and hope they get a great turnout

Why do you keep posting the same thing but provide no direct links to your claim that this is a nefarous call to action? If you want to inform people, stop coming across as illigitmate yourself.

Here:
I received this via email this morning. There was also a zoom meeting via @indivisible.org over the weekend where they listed this march as an action item.
Who started this and why? Who is behind spreading the idea?
What is the goal of the protest? Just "stop" isn't enough. Stop which particular piece of this craziness?

ALL 50 states are not listed. Plus different posts have different times. Some say noon, others are all over the place. Also, Tamp is not the Capitol of Florida. That’s Tallahassee. Something is off for sure.
Read it but the website is new, the organizers are AFAIK anonymous, and while some permit applications have been submitted I have not seen any granted.
I’m all for protests but attendees have a right to know the level of risk involved and what recourse if any are available if a protest goes south.
Yep. It doesn't answer the question, "Who are the organizers?"
That's important info that should be right up front. It's not.
Martial Law will complete Trump's dictatorship. People who choose to attend are free to do so but they must use extreme caution.

It didn’t even answer the questions I asked either.
It said the name of the organization but not who the organizers are or what their experience in doing this is. It didn’t touch on the fact that in many states the Capitol is pretty far from where most people live either.
That’s how grassroots activists roll. This is how it’s gonna look folks. I know it’s not what you’re use to , but it’s not a fight we’re use to fighting.
Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin (ECM) is warning against these protests. The origin of the notice is unknown, and it could be a trap to give FOTUS an excuse to issue an Insurrection Act order.
That's fine but grassroots organizers should reach out to established groups for 2 reasons: (1) to ask for outreach by known, trusted groups (2) to learn about what to do/not do and what works.
Political Revolution was a registered PAC but when I checked the FEC database, it seems that the PAC is now defunct. It is apparently now just one woman behind whatever is left of that organization.
You understand that doesn't mean anything, right? Sometimes folks focus on petty crap instead of substantive actions. Biden spent the last 2 months stacking the courts w/ judges to oppose Trump's agenda. In addition to putting up other road blocks to sabotage him while in office. That matters more.
It means democrats messaging is knackered. They say one thing and oh look, Obama is laughing and smiling along with trump . At least Republicans mean what they say, or at least try to appear that way.
We need a new party
pretty much this. I made a comment about "this could possibly give Trump the leverage to initiate the insurrection act and martial law" in the 505001 subreddit and was downvoted to hell.
but either way I support this. we're watching a literal coup happening and Republicans do nothing.
That will always be a possibility. WE MUST PROTEST REGARDLESS. What else are we gunna do otherwise? Stay home?? They're banking on us losing our nerve because of such threats. ACT NOW.
BEWARE! Dodgy calls for protests from shady mystery groups, probably Proud Boys, etc, to create the conditions for imposing Martial Law. Ignore and don’t share.
Because they have no real plan and goal.
Barricade the roads. Make up tents and protective equipment. And don't be shy to answer violence with violence.
American citizens and military should be surrounding the United States Treasury building RIGHT NOW to physically remove muskrat and his band of teenage traitors.
Ohhh fuck yea!! Wait, I don’t think we will have another president not a legitimate one anyways forever, so not so sure getting shot in the face with a tear gas canister is the best option here since we now have free Airbnb’s in #ElSalvador

It's not "a minor opposition", it's the dictatorship raising it's ugly head. You can ignore it all you want, but this will only end in US turning into second russia, and you ending up mobilised to annex Canada.
This is far too soon and too disorganized. We need a serious, organized and large protest. People can't get off work and find childcare in a few days, we need to plan this out weeks in advance.
Sorry if I came off harsh. I swear it was a statement, not judgement. I was feeling wary like you before and I almost didn't go. In the end, I'm glad I did. But it's a hard decision to make, and I don't fault anyone for not going. My philosophy is do what you can, when you can, while you still can.
I've lived almost a decade in countries under authoritarian regimes. I was deported from one. The degree of care I take may seem like paranoia, but living 3 years in a country still reeling from genocide and is currently run by an authoritarian kleptocrat can do that to you (another deported me).
As an actual Quaker I can tell you Quakers are probably involved all over the country. And as an actual Quaker I can tell you it's not a "Quaker Movement"
The TechBros are in Charge over The Village Idiots. China is about to Kick our Asses and The Tech Bros is Whispering in Trump Ear About South Africa. It's more about South Africa Resources, and Greenland Resources that They want to exploit. If China gets it way.
Americans are all mouth like Trump. Each person thinks someone else will show up and do the dirty work. Do you think for one minute Republicans give a shit. Elon Musk and Republicans made it happen to behind your backs. I will be surprised if many show up. Prove me wrong.
Easy for police to keep control of, likely shut down quickly over vague safety concerns using tear gas in most states.
Do 50 small protests at different points around each capital, not one large one, and remember traffic cones and water bottles!
So we are clear here, Trumpies. The entire purpose of these tariffs, according to the liar in chief, is to make it so expensive for American owned companies to bring goods into the US that they will move back to the US and bring YOUR jobs back. That DID NOT happen, and it's NOT going to.
“The First Amendment allows for people to assemble and express their views through a protest. Police and other governmental officials are allowed to place certain restrictions, however, including shutting down a protest through a dispersal order if there is a danger of riot or disorder...
I think if 50501 sets up a legitimate org and coordinated efforts w existing orgs for permitting it could be super useful for coordinating people power.
Whatever anyone decides - be safe, know the laws for peaceful protests in your area.
Full Support from a citizen of the oldest country in Europe...!
Never give up... And just embrace civil disobedience...!
It's the only peaceful way to fight against fascist authoritarianism...!
✌️
Okay, but is there a central geoup organizing this?
That needs to be posted in these announcements.
Because, it would be pretty easy for musk / trump ppl to announce big protests, then swoop in and do violence to trigger Martial Law, call in military, or mass arrest protesters.
I just have a feeling that unless our gov can get more aggressive with the checks and balances that it’s going to be a “pick your poison” situation here soon.
Let me know when you've got a plan for that. Otherwise, do something other than put down the movement of people actually raising their voices for good. Exposure to show solidarity for others feeling overwhelmed and lost, still helps! It is never in vain.
The protests can do many things. They can show other Americans that there IS pushback among the people. And they can show our ELECTED officials that we want them to take action. This is but one front of resistance, not the only action.

A public protest requires the courage to be, well, public. Asking people to march in the streets with you and expecting anonymity is not an inspiring organizing strategy. Visibility is the point of public protest. I will assume good intentions by the organizers, but stand up and be counted.

This response is what sounds suspect to me. I am seeing a pattern of these posts meant to sow doubt and conflict among progressives. These accounts badmouthing protest efforts could easily come from a troll farm. Think what Musk et al would do to confuse and derail any organized resistance.
Martial law would be good right now. It would be an awesome way to flip a whole lot of MAGA and libertarians who will not tolerate a government telling them again to stay home. "Lockdowns" are not a distant memory. There are sheriffs who will not comply. And we need to test this sooner than later.
That will always be a possibility. WE MUST PROTEST REGARDLESS. What else are we gunna do otherwise? Stay home?? They're banking on us losing our nerve because of such threats. ACT NOW.
The original postings said that if you can’t go in person - call out of work - and if you can’t do that - then wear something BLUE on that day, so choose one of those options if safety is a concern.
And not only marches, the more direct action needed. Look up the protests in Belarus or Georgia (not the state, the country). When the protests became "peaceful", they dissipated quickly and great deal of participants ended up in prison.

Even IF it were false or unofficial, what harm is there in people gathering who protest the Trump admin? The confusion comes from MAGA & AI bots trying to prevent our protests & coming together for our cause. We NEED a 50 state event, why would the enemy give us the idea to unite against them?
There are people thinking that MAGA, Proud Boys, and many of the insurrectionist may be showing up to start something. And they can do anything and get pardon too!
Well, the emphasis is on "peaceful". As I said, this is something that those of us against MAGA are more than likely going to have to do. IF we cannot gather for peaceful protests, the world will be watching. Many things will happen as a result. The world will not tolerate another Hitler.
The problem is MAGAs will show up to make sure it’s not peaceful. And they don’t have to worry about the laws, Trump will just pardon them again even if they kill people.
From what I'm seeing this is being seen as a trap for us? I can't seem to confirm if it's an actual protest or if it's a "trap" no one to contact? Do you have clarification

it's damn time we replaced ssn's, credit card numbers are more secure than ssn's (ssn's are sequential and based on location, not inherently secure at all), half have been leaked by the credit agencies already, never should have had so much depend on them
They didn't answer my question if this is permitted. With permits you get police protection. Every protest I went to during trumps first admin in LA was permitted.
It is a grassroots protest that started on the r/50501 sub reddit. It is very real and very much happening. Here is a screenshot from the FAQ's of the discord chat for it.
Based on the comments I've seen, some people have called their Capitols directly. I looked up the Capitol schedule for my state for that day. It lists everything that's happening on the Capitol campus. It validated the time and place of our 50501.
I did that. Mine says that they won't accept applications less than 14 days prior to the event. On reddit, it says that someone applied on 2/3. So not more than 14 days.
That is weird. I took part in a resistance Zoom call Sunday, and all sponsoring groups were identified clearly, with contact info (MoveOn, Indivisible, Working Families Party, etc.)
There should be a central org in charge.
Sheryl, kindly, with empathy, please do some more research. This wouldn't be the first time that feds put out honeypot protests. They do it to snatch people off the streets.
You’re falling into a trap. Dump will use this as an excuse to declare martial law, invoke the insurrection act, and loose the military domestically to complete and legitimize his dictatorship. All because you refused to see an obvious trap.
The potential trap is as the OP posted-- that the protest is a setup. What you're doing is discouraging people from protesting in general, out of fear. That's exactly what authoritarian want-- people to stay home hiding.
He will use any excuse to do this. Why do nothing if they know martial law is probable? If people want to do something let them. They know the consequences. Negative Nancy's need not comment.
I’ve done a lot of large protests but there are some warnings about this unattributed “50 states protest” I can’t find any support by Indivisible, MoveOn, etc. be careful
He didn't this time. Not in Boston. Regardless, the People should always protest. Not let fear or what if's paralyze them. Be aware, sure. But also TAKE ACTION.
You can be sure muskrat has every unmasked face out there today in a database. Also, there are many ways to protest; hitting the streets is only one. Attacking folks for not using your preferred method weakens us all. Do you feel better for saying “told you so”?
Not attacking, my dude. People can do what they want but they should really think about the damage it does when you project shame and fear on to anyone trying to demonstrate resistance. I don't care how people do it. Just do it. Don't be so wary of the what if's that it paralyzes you.
We too (Virginia Dems) should post that this 50State event is a FALSE call to action as explained below. This type of misinformation from MAGA operatives will be nonstop to sow confusion. We have to be extremely careful about the info we share.
And leave your phone at home! OR-leave it in your car in a Faraday bag. If there's ONE thing we learned from the traitors on 1/6 is that carrying your phone on you (as well as taking photos and posting them!) is a great way to be tracked. A Faraday bag will block all signals to and from phone.
Also-remove facial recognition from your phone! They cannot make you speak your PIN code to them, but they CAN hold your phone to your face to unlock it and access it. They could also place your finger on your phone, if you still have fingerprint locking. Another reason to not bring your phone!
For anyone that thinks Trump/Musk are willing to abuse gov't powers beyond constitutional limits, this seems practical.
But the oddity - many on the left are posting that this is already "the real thing".. yet, there's little effort to act or plan like it's even one of the POSSIBLE future scenarios
Maybe, that’s why turning out in numbers matter. It is also extremely unsafe for anyone to be the public face of the resistance to this corruption and throw away accounts are a good idea
First, it is your first ammendments right to protest, a permit is not required. Second, some states do have permits, others do not because it was too late to get them. Still don't need it though as long as we stay on the sidewalks and peaceful.
It’s all preformative. You need to do 5 days, 10 day or how about 50 days of strikes. That would get attention. 1 day is absolute BS. It’s not even a full day.
We too (Virginia Dems) should post that this 50State event is a FALSE call to action as explained below. This type of misinformation from MAGA operatives will be nonstop to sow confusion. We have to be extremely careful about the info we share.
So it's in the state capital but not the State Capitol? That's kind of broad. St Paul isn't huge, but it's a fair walk from Highland Park to the Como Zoo and I'd like to park near the gathering spot.
According to reddit user U/Blue_Eyed_ME Maine's protest is permitted, at least from12 to 2 because they, on their own initiative, sought one. Its not clear to me if its permitted after that time, but its clear there's no org getting permits nationwide. Sounds very suspect to me.
Who is promoting nationwide protests? I would say if you're going, leave your phone home so some tech bro doesn't get a list of phones pinging nearby towers at that time to make a list.
I hope enough people can sacrifice a work day off their paycheck cause I can't do that day, make it wen,,thur,fri sat sun. Give people a chance to join. Why just one day occupy those courtyards until someone does something. Take shifts.

These protests may be a trap. Jamie Raskin said we should not participate. Trump could send faux protestors in to cause shit then blame the real protestors. He could issue martial law then. Don't go!
Did you know in 1990 Trump applauded China for Its 1989 Tienanmen Square massacre? Said that is what strong leaders do to protesters.During last term he wanted to shot protesters in the legs. Trump's as ruthless as Hitler; important to know. I would go to protest if I lived in State capital.
Montana is going to hit wind chills of -13 that day. I would love nothing more than to exercise my right to protest, but that weather is a real tough sell. I will stand in solidarity for all who attend all across the country. Give em hell!
After trump’s inauguration in 2017 over 1 million people marched in the streets. Didn’t matter one iota. We still lost RvW. I get that people feel they need to do something, but we have solid proof that protests don’t work to effect any meaningful changes.
No they did not. During trump’s first term democracy still stood. That’s what saved us from what we’re seeing now. The march was irrelevant. Now however, there is no more democracy. He is a full on dictator with control of all branches of government. Checks and balances are now obsolete.
If that’s the case, why did they approve the 3 justices that ultimately ended RvW? Why didn’t they call trump on all the lawlessness? Why did they acquit him, twice? I think you’re not remembering how this went.
Fucking exactly. So many people projecting fear and shame onto those trying to take action and raise their voices despite the risks. Like "it's too late you idiots" and "DT will use this as an excuse to declare martial law". So what tf else are we supposed to do?? Stay home??? Foolish.
Too much sketchy info and misspellings on these different posters. Who’s sponsoring? It supposedly started on Reddit and now Reddit is saying it’s fake?
I have knocked on doors during presidential campaigns. The people who don't vote either won't answer the door or are unpersuadable if they do. I am interested in learning how you get these people to the polls.
So what, we should just give up cuz you say it's too late??? Do you understand how foolish you sound? Protest is never in vain, and at this point, it's better than projecting fear and shame onto those who are trying to raise their voices. Take your audacity elsewhere. Wtf.
I'm reading and what I see is: you rolling your eyes, calling people profoundly stupid for protesting, being angry that ppl didn't do enough when they had the chance. The anger is very valid. The rest is sad. Not all of us are blind to our failures. But we think it's still worth it to take action.
Look, I am one of those Americans who acknowledge we fucked up freely AND I still think it's important to keep going and keep fighting. It's not over till it's over. Truth matters, yes, and how you respond to it matters too. Don't put people down for taking a proactive stance in the face of despair.

As we've seen over the past couple decades, protesting does less than nothing.
It will just devolve into the cops brutalizing as many protesters as they can get their clubs on. Add a dash of terrorist maga, and thats a no.
This fight is for the future generation—your children. Please take it seriously.

also a lot of the organizers of each individual protest are easy to find

No organization behind it and state capitols aren’t always where the population is.
Do we want convoys from San Diego, LA, SF, etc to Sacramento? Chicagoland driving to Springfield? New Yorkers all driving out to Albany?
Sounds like a mess.
Live out the rest of my life toiling under a fascist regime and leaving the same for my kids, or fight with every fiber of my being.
Pretty easy choice.

Grab some friends + go to your nearest City Hall (or wherever folks go in your area for community events)!
Here in my deep red state we're gathering in our Town Square!
Remember a protest does NOT need to be large to be effective.
1 Person + Sign Works
We need a new party
Keep that in mind.
but either way I support this. we're watching a literal coup happening and Republicans do nothing.

If you are planning to protest it is extremely important that you make sure it is through legitimate organization(s) that have permits.
According to the article IL and PA MIGHT have appropriate permits by tomorrow.
Whatever anyone decides - be safe, know the laws for peaceful protests in your area.
https://www.newsweek.com/50-states-anti-trump-protest-nationwide-february-5-details-2025300
https://50protests.com/map
Peaceful assembling on public property is legal.
Capitals aren't usually major population centers. And most of them aren't near major population centers either.
Never give up... And just embrace civil disobedience...!
It's the only peaceful way to fight against fascist authoritarianism...!
✌️
That needs to be posted in these announcements.
Because, it would be pretty easy for musk / trump ppl to announce big protests, then swoop in and do violence to trigger Martial Law, call in military, or mass arrest protesters.
And I don’t mean the redhats.
Some people, a small minority but still, deliberately started shit with LEOs. Physical, not just blocking, but throwing objects and fists.
It's fuel 4 a martial law fire.
Fascism & Authoritarianism or Martial Law.

anyways as others pointed out, its a grassroot movement
For my city, I can find no list of speakers.
No permits.
No mention of who's organizing.
Watch out, please.
Didn't let yourselves be instigated into something. Don't let this be this century's Reichstag fire.
See, when people are cagey about stuff like this... here's why it raises red flags.
But you know how our current administration conducts itself.
They might retaliate at something ‘perfectly legal’ such as that.
But as you do that, keep in mind that Trump would turn a broken window in any state house into our own version of January 6.
If he's able to spin this as a gathering of violent revolutionaries, then we'll have martial law.
The place you should protest is where it'll affect the people in power there the most. Where Musk and Bezos makes there money.
it's going to take more than weekend warriors

For me the capital is too far away, plus there is snow.
Not everyone can travel the distance to their capitol.

This feels off to me, as well as to a lot of people who do a lot of this type of work.
There should be a central org in charge.

It u see somebody standing with a megaphone looking down at there phone as if he/she's waiting for something, jump out the car & join in.
Wear a mask if u don't want to embarrass yourself & if 10+ ppl show up, mask comes down....& Pick up your megaphone
That simple
Unless you have an old phone that allows you to remove your battery

WHEN 90 MILLION eligible voters decided to stay home and do sweet fuck all

Marching will help 🙄💯
The profound stupidity is too much to process
America, you need to pull your head from your ass
I’ve worked election campaigns,
done both telephone work,
door to door also
What was needed was a fuckton more pushback & FIGHT,
BEFORE Nov 4
Dems stayed cricket quiet while a hostile takeover occurred
I highly doubt DJT won
Try reading again and stop projecting YOUR bullshit onto me
Jesus
Grow tf up
Once again, taking “action” is great
Time to do that effectively is during elections
Now, the “action” you refer to is out of your hands
I’m not American but many good friend are
They acknowledge that America FUCKED UP freely
Stop taking it personally
Be honest
#TruthMatters
Said their chosen LACK of action WAS
I’m not angry
I’m tired of people pretending this happened TO THEM
I’m tired of bullshit
The apathy you defend IS the problem 💯
Every politician and leader within the @democrats.org
You know, YES YOU CAN.
