Does a small drop of water flood a whole town? No. Many drops collected over time do tho.
Right now these protests are the start of the rain. Like minded folks are small drops of water coming together. We are uniting to create change. That takes time.
The only people who say this are those who are too lazy and apathetic to do anything. There is tons of data and history on the impacts of protest. What are you doing other than bitching online?
4/19 is getting less attention than 4/5 cause it doesn’t have as many national orgs behind it. Also, there will probably be less sites listed because organizers are burned out. You may have only heard of 50501 just before 4/5, but they have been active with 3 protests since 2/5 building it up.
Ssssh. Do you hear that? The tide is turning. What felt hopeless a few weeks ago is starting to feel hopeful. Maybe it’s the weather, or people turning out. But we have a chance to change the momentum.
Success loves speed. Let’s make change happen together!
Seems a bit odd to do this a day before the supposed nationwide lockdown,given he could trigger a false flag operation amongst the protesters in each state, but I'll see about attending one.The police need to take a active role, especially given protestors were attacked by a truck and violent punks.
Shut the fuck up, Im coming at you centrists pussies from the left.
Besides, even if I was coming at you from the right, a dumb little tweet is how you know they're afraid? Literally nobody is afraid of these pointless "protests".
Easy to see why the right is winning, so much bitching on the left. How about less swearing at people who are on your side and more offering helpful suggestions if you don’t like what they’re doing?
A bootlicker who doesn’t do anything while the Republic burns is calling others pansies? Oh fucking bend over for the rapist, felon you cuck. Some of us aren’t cowards or worthless internet warriors.
I think you're right in a sense. The billionaires won't care. But our elected representatives will see how fired up their constituents are, which will motivate then to work harder because most want to keep their jobs. Also it is building community and priming people for bigger resistance efforts.
No they won't. Most know their jobs are safe because we have a worthless 2 party system that's gerrymandered to hell and people are too chickenshit to vote for a 3rd party.
Get people to stop buying shit from these billionaires. Organize general strikes and boycotts. Organize a new political party since the Democrats have shown they won't do anything. Is any of that being mentioned at these protests, or do people only care about how witty their sign is?
I think there are more people boycotting than protesting. A general strike is being organized but there is not enough support yet. Standing up a new political party is more than we can chew right now and there are Democrats who are doing things. It took them a while but they are fighting back.
I’ve connected with more people through social media and through community, I am eternally grateful for those I have found that are on the side I am fighting for!
I think most people assumed the 5th of each month. Please keep the 5th going each month too! This weekend is before Easter and many may not show unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong though.
Pls keep up with the 5ths or the 1st weekend of every month.
i think the 50501 movement is being overwhelmed with fatigue from organizing near constantly since February at least. it seems all very decentralized. if you have organizational or logistics skills and time to help out, the organization is really needing volunteers.
The troubleshooting page identifies there is a keyword search box and a location search box. Your California is in the keyword search box. Good luck. The site isn't the most accessible, but hopefully that won't dissuade too many folks. The mobilize site is good too. https://www.fiftyfifty.one/events
This is what’s going on: “NYC Declaration of Interdependence: March to Protect Migrants and the Planet. By 50501 NY. Bryant Park, West 41st Street , New York NY 10018 United States of America On Saturday , April 19th 2025 starting at 12:00 PM.” We need to make more people show up
than on April 5th.
Everything on the 19th appears to be independent events. I have looked and found little coordination or connection amongst various events. Some marches aren’t even a 50501 event but a different group. The VT 50501 groups is only advertising an online recruitment event for the 19th.
VT doesn’t seem to have a protest organized, neither does DC. There was no coordination done amongst the various states and groups in the various states to show a unified force this time. A little disheartening.
I have a flyer for a rally in Vegas on the 19th that lists the 50501 website, but I can't find the event on their website, only on https://mobilize.us. Confusing
Anyone know where I can find the list of protests in Florida? I found the meetup locations easily for the protest on April 5th, but I’m not finding a similar list for this one.
I was checking to see about protests in Orlando and the 50501 Orlando chapter said they are not participating on 4/19. Not sure if people are showing up or not.
They will be at Lake Eola for the Earth Day activities. Not sure if anyone will be protesting at City Hall. There are some protests in other area like Clermont.
Hey all. Former Oklahoman here. Every year April 19th makes me nervous. Please be aware that we aren’t the only ones willing to use the date of Lexington and Concord to commemorate a cause.
Tip: The 50501 website links you to another site to find events and it doesn't seem to be working right or at least not all events showing. I'm having better luck on https://mobilize.us.
A gift for the 19th. Use it wisely.
Why were exactly 19 people added to that ill-fated March 11th #SignalGate chat? Why were they so anxious to stop talking about it? Alas, certain lies have a nasty habit of returning to haunt you, at the worst possible time… https://sevenstarhand.medium.com/exposing-the-signalgate-19-fiasco-d4033c5b4e9e

Get involved.
More folks = faster results.
Not at all comparable to previous protests IMO. The vibe, action, etc was so different than, say, BLM.
Perhaps it's a build up to "good trouble"... but yeah. Zzzzzz.
Does anyone know of any?
I’ll see you out there on 4/19.
It’s being updated.
Success loves speed. Let’s make change happen together!
Want to join me for this Indivisible event? https://mobilize.us/s/NRQLKN

I'm gunna be very Bourne that day.
Please be there and be strong. We're gonna give them what they DON'T want.
Everyone else: this is how you KNOW they’re afraid.
Besides, even if I was coming at you from the right, a dumb little tweet is how you know they're afraid? Literally nobody is afraid of these pointless "protests".
THATS the ideal outcome, to show Electeds THEIR JOBS ARE AT RISK. And OUTNUMBERED

Pls keep up with the 5ths or the 1st weekend of every month.

I will keep trying. I ask the website administrators to keep working on the kinks, as well. Peace.

than on April 5th.
Old uncle was at last
One. The noise was hard with his hearing aids, but the energy and people
Made him swell with pride
and optimism.
The regime is getting
frustrated that so many
people are showing up, all at once
- & that it's peaceful! -
they kept trying to
reframe the story as
violent or "paid actors"
w/ footage that was
outdated
----
They are really worried
that some MAGA will join
the cause

the movement needs volunteers with logistical skills to organize the masses of people who are ripe for mobilization.

It has been many more days now though, but in all states. Growing in numbers each month since inauguration day.
