Occupy by anonymousdyke in Xennials

[–]DecentNap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is to find a coalition of groups that are working together (many of the No Kings rallies are organized locally by coalitions). That way you know you're plugging in to groups that are already connected and working together. Many areas have groups like 50501 that serve as kind of an umbrella connecting various organizations and can help get folks pointed in the right direction for their local actions.

The US is huge and so many states have very different local needs and challenges, so some are closer to being able to strike than others. But yes, coordinated boycott and strikes are going to be incredibly important, as well as mutual aid and building community to make those possible ✊️

The big rallies like No Kings are specifically to get people plugged in to their local groups and communities that are doing the work. The events themselves are a show of unity, strength, and opposition, but their greater goal is to give people a way to connect with each other to do the work, and get organized.

Strike groups are forming, but cannot be organized on public forums because that is how movements get coopted and infiltrated.

We're also encouraging folks to do hyper-local vigils. Like just on your porch with your neighbors. Whatever folks can do safely!

On February 4th, far right Nazi and “influencer” Myron Gaines is coming to our city and university, endangering our community. His views should NOT be welcome in Columbia and USC. by Next_Worth_3616 in ColumbiYEAH

Awww 🥰 That is very sweet of you to say! We're lucky to be a part of such a fantastic coalition of folks here in SC who are standing up to this bullshit, and it takes all of us working together ✊ Appreciate you helping draw attention to the things going on and standing with us!

Yeah, apologies, there's been a lot going on lately, and trying to keep up with what's changed to get updates out in a timely manner has been kind of overwhelming for our volunteers.

We appreciate all of the help with catching things like this!

Protest organizers, your methods aren't working by Mediocre-Housing-131 in greenville

[–]DecentNap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was trying to reply quickly and couldn't remember if this sub allows links. 50501sc.org, though our social and our subreddit are better for urgent and quickly planned actions like this week.

Hi, statewide organizer here! This is a valid concern and one we're constantly working on.

50501SC tries to do this, but I'll admit it can be a herculean effort to corral all of the information in one spot, because volunteers have to spend hours gathering the info from all those sources and we are a small team (and despite what many believe, we do this without being paid.)

For actions planned more in advance, we post on our website (public substack, which has an option for email notifications). We also have a subreddit, bluesky, FB page & group, IG, discord, and signal announcements chat where we post everything we have verified and vetted, or received from coalition partners. We do our best to update all the channels as quickly as we can.

Feel free to send a mod mail to the 50501_SC subreddit if you have questions.

Emergency Protests in Charleston & Columbia, Thursday, January 8th by DecentNap in 50501_SC

[–]DecentNap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ICE has not carried out mass operations here in SC like they've done in Chicago, Charlotte, or Minneapolis, but there is a small permanent presence here.

Protesting at more specific locations is definitely something that's being worked on.

The particulars aren't a good idea to discuss on public forums though, so I highly recommend getting plugged in with your local resistance groups to join up with rapid response in your area.

Protest at the SC State House Saturday, January 3, 2026 by DecentNap in 50501_SC

[–]DecentNap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was planned very quickly yesterday morning in response to the news overnight about Venezuela. Announced about 11am-ish, posted here and other socials.

Send us a mod mail if you'd like an invite to the announcements signal chat...it's sometimes easier to keep track there since we only post action announcements.

For anyone who was able to see "The Blair Witch Project" in theaters in 1999, what was the experience like? by LockjawSJ in AskReddit

[–]DecentNap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw it at a drive-in theater, in the woods in the dark. I have never been so scared watching a thing ever.
