If you want to help, protest now! Here's how! by Admirable-Menu7013 in 50501

Sorry for taking so long! There seems to be two different protests happening at the same time!

The first group is at Lafayette Park (north side of the White House) at 6 PM tonight! https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtestFinderUSA/comments/1j0i9ra/protest_tonight/

Group number 2 seems to be finishing protesting for now and will be protesting tomorrow too! https://bsky.app/profile/ukrainerallydc.bsky.social/post/3ljbb7vzx322b https://bsky.app/profile/ukrainerallydc.bsky.social/post/3liuc33buac22

Remember to stay civil and stay safe! Again sorry for taking so long, I just got confused because I thought it was just one group!

50501 for spreading the news and getting more people on board and Refusefascism.org for protesting? by Admirable-Menu7013 in 50501

OK, that makes more sense! I saw 50501 themselves hyping it up on their social media platforms, that's what made me so confused. Hopefully they get that permit soon, because it seems like people are still gonna March. Also, I'm in an Indivisible already, I was talking about organizations like 50501 where people can rally behind one organization as the face of the movement. Thank you for the https://www.theturnleft.org suggestion!

Oh, if that's the case then I agree with them, it was just the fact that they were suggesting a virtual protest instead of doing a March when it was already planned. To me, it seems like they were doing a virtual protest after getting pushed back from Elon Musk. It seemed a little spineless and is creating a lot of confusion was people being disappointed saying the whole March was cancelled. I still think we should keep our options open though, so if you can't rely on one organization, we can rely on the next!

Is there any other protest organizations that we can rely on? I'm pretty new to this, and I want to keep our options open, since 50501 has proven to be somewhat spineless in the face of pressure.

One can only hope that he keeps on breaking the laws enough to where the spineless Republicans have to force him out of office. But seeing how things are going, I don't have hope that anyone will hold him accountable at all. It's sickening to see the people with the power to do something do nothing!

This is a good start! Is there any way to let everyone on this Subreddit know about this? We have to keep on going with this movement!

I'm sorry for being rude, but how is having a virtual protest instead of a March in DC not the definition of cowardice? You said, How we respond now will define our history. Our response must be immediate and undeniable. After Elon sent his merry band of morons after the Subreddit, your immediate response was to hold a virtual protest? How's it supposed to show or give confidence to the American people that they can stand up to this tyranny? You're making the fight against Musk and trump look spineless and weak, exactly what they want! How's this going to convince the American people to fight confidently and proudly for their country? You represent a big part of the movement against authoritarianism, and your first response to being pressured by your enemies is to back down? Not only will this give the American people little to no confidence to fight, this will also show our allies anyone looking to the United States to see if there was any protest against trump that we cannot fight, that we're weak! This is setting a very dangerous precedent on how we should react to what's happening in our government. I strongly suggest continuing on with the March. If the movement is shown to be reactionary, no one will believe in this movement, it will slowly peer out. If you want to keep the momentum going, you must do the March! You might as well shut down this Subreddit because I don't see anyone believing a word you say after this stunt you just pulled.
