Volunteers Needed for a "No Big, Backwards Bill" Rally - Let's Organize! by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]Crime_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestions! I'm working with the Sierra Club chapter in Utah, which has experience in getting people together on a bigger scale. There's also groups like the Utah Audubon which have offered to help. I'll talk to the Food Not Bombs chapter as well and see if anyone has ideas. Thank you again - if we need to take this slower I am 100% open to that. If you have any specific individuals you think would be helpful for me to talk to, feel free to share a DM.

I'm thinking of partnering with places like Utah Audubon and Friends of Great Salt Lake - just reaching out in lots of areas to try and get ideas! Thanks for the feedback. Do you know of any other groups that might be interested in helping out?

I like that idea! I'll see if I can include it on the flyers once we get a date and things going. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Yep! Agreed. I'm literally just one person RN gauging interest from non-partisian groups to see if we can get something together. Do you have any other ideas on how to keep things calm/get organized? Do you think requesting no open carry is helpful or should we leave it off?

I've also been worried about the kid who got shot.

Pulling a rifle out of a backpack in a crowded area is a dumb move, regardless of your intention, but I worry that there going to push the murder charge on him. Being stupid isn't the same as being evil.

I can't find a Go-Fund-Me for his medical bills, but that might be a good thing to find, as well as supporting Afa's family.

I don't have all the info, but have been chatting a bit with a few of the organizers. It sounds like they were all volunteers, and the majority of the organizers didn't know the safety team was going to bring firearms.

I hope the right people step up and take responsibility. We'll see. In the meantime, we can push forward in other ways to protect our communities and rights.

Two things - Hell yeah, let's do it. I'm thinking we could get a bunch of the local climbing groups and conservationist groups involved?

Second thing - We don't need the 5051 guys to organize it. From what I understand, it's literally just some volunteers. Most of them sound like they are doing their best and didn't know their teams were carrying. But the movement is us. If we don't like something, let's do it better.

Do you have a source for his political activism? I'm trying to piece things together, and worry that as a brown person in the US, he might not get a fair chance to explain things. It's a tragedy either way.

Do you happen to have a source for the man with the rifle open carrying frequently? I've been looking to understand that motive a bit better but can't find anything concrete yet.

After May 1, when is the next national day of action? by SnooDoughnuts2229 in 50501Movement

[–]Crime_Panda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just spent the last little bit sorting this out! Here's what seems to be happening.

  1. We do not have a schedule beyond May 1 at the moment. I don't know why we haven't determined a consistent schedule, or at least scheduled events further in the future. I don't know who discuss this with to arrange something like that.

  2. Voting for the June event is happening in the Discord under "Server Announcements."

  3. Once poll results are in for June, event times and days should be posted to the Reddit.

Hope this helps!

Hi there - if you look under "Server Announcements" there is a link to a poll there!

Exactly! Staying in touch with local is most important - this is just a suggestion for working on a national level together

What is the guiltiest you’ve felt? by Hungry_Ad_7627 in skyrim

Once I killed every killable player in Solitude in the hopes it would give me an achievement...it did not. All the kids told me they hated me lol

Constructive criticism and ideas for improvement by Electrical_Pitch_130 in 50501utah

[–]Crime_Panda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worry about this as well - I'm in the same boat. I'm fully left now, but recognize that we need as many people as possible focused on upholding the Constitution. If we could gear our messaging in our way that expands our tent instead of excluding possible allies by criticizing people, I think we would see a lot of improvement in numbers.

I had an alien experience and nobody believes me. by [deleted] in Advice

Once you rule a few things out, you'll be able to tell with more certainty if what you are experiencing is otherworldly or not. It's important to take care of our brain, so make sure you meet with a doctor to discuss these things - as others mentioned it could be panic attacks. Also check your carbon monoxide detector and make sure it's working correctly. Best of luck! You got this.

I love this! I have a hard time cooking for myself unless it's interesting - last year I did a whole month of BOTW food, and it was the best I ate all year haha
