If you can’t personally make it, it’d help if you spread the word to your friends and family.

While we advised against linking to mainstream social media in the monthly meta, I’m making an exception in this case since this movement is largely being self organized on the r/50501 subreddit.

To find your state, load all the comments until it stops, then use Ctrl + F and search for your state, then expand the comments for that to see what time and place the protest is in your area.

Stay safe, solarpunks. Bring first aid kits if you have them!

    I get that you want you give pigs less time to prepare, but people have lives. These announcements always seem to appear, with no warning, the-day-of.

    I can never attend these because I can’t just fucking drop everything and drive to the capital on a work day with no notice.

      Well, on one hand, there are no shortage of folks that no longer have shit to do.

      On the other, these are protests and they fucking Nazis.

      …uhhh…yeah.

      • 50/50/1 are Nazis?

        This is the first time I’ve heard of them, so I know nothing about them.

        Regardless, it’s an interesting point. Who’s the greater enemy at the moment? The oligarchs, or the far right? Because while many oligarchs may be far right, not all far right are oligarchs. And if we all realize that the great enemy is income disparity and unchecked rule by a powerful few… I think I could stand shoulder to shoulder with a skinhead for long enough to overthrow a dictator.

          Musk is a Nazi. Not because he’s actually a Nazi but because he’s using the notion of any Nazi to join he movement of overthrowing the government in the US with Trump’s assistance.

          That order of magnitude of authority is just a charade. The real one is Money and it’s not an oligarchy. Follow the money. If you want a handheld assistance ask Lee Camp. He recently laid out a plain candid layout, to whom and the name in his first UnRedacted Tonight which you can find on Rumble or YouTube.

          50501 is not an opponent to the Nazis. It just says it is but does nothing but make noises, if even that. That way hasn’t been respected since the 70’s when folks kind of tried to do what black people did but not actually.

      I’ve been seeing these for that last couple of days now. So definitely not a day-of thing.

      • Weird; today’s the first time they’ve popped up in my Home thread, and in several communities. I don’t use Reddit at all, though, so maybe it’s just a repost timing thing.

      I believe they are trying to capitalize on the holiday today, but i get the frustration. I would say that you may want to look into and reach out to a local leftist group to see what/when they do their community outreach or about upcoming protests
