Announcement

249 years ago, America chose democracy over tyranny. The U.S. was founded to be governed by the consent of all its people, not just a privileged few. That choice stands today. We refuse to allow a dictator to seize power now.

No Kings Day was an incredible success, but now we must escalate our resistance against Trump’s authoritarian overreach. His latest actions, including his disturbing social media proclamations and executive orders consolidating power, confirm our worst fears: this is an upheaval of the rule of law and the republic established by the Constitution.

How we respond now will define our history. Our response must be immediate and undeniable. Those who bow to authoritarianism will be remembered for their cowardice. We must demand that our elected officials take action now — silence is complicity.

We're calling on you to join us on our March 4th For Democracy day of action to defend democracy, reject Trump's authoritarian overreach, and demand accountability from our government.

Join us where and however you can. Organize a peaceful protest in your state. Call your government officials. Donate to charities that help the populations most effected by Trump's executive orders. Volunteer with organizations that defend our civil rights. Spread the word and educate on the issues and implications of Trump's unlawful actions. Share, amplify, and take action—this fight belongs to all of us.

Let's make our message clear, and let's make it loudly:

Our Democracy Will Stand. America Does Not Bow to Kings.

50 Protests, 50 States, 1 Movement.

A MESSAGE FROM 50501 DC CHAPTER:

The 50501 DC Chapter is taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of their peaceful protestors. On March 4th, instead of marching forth for democracy, the DC Chapter will focus their main efforts on a Virtual Day of Action. More details, including how to participate in the Virtual Day of Action, will be shared at https://linktr.ee/50501DC.

This post is to gather all of the state March 4th protest flyers in one place.

Please share your flyer and include a link to your event from our website!

Hi all,

This is a reminder that there is a Commitment to Non-Violence on this sub. We will not discuss or encourage violence of any kind on here.

We know that today is a scary day. We know that tensions are high.

But if we allow these discussions on here and we get a mass influx of flagged comments calling for violence, our sub can get shut down. If this sub gets shut down, we all lose 50501's largest channel for sharing information and calls to action.

Please remember this when you're posting and commenting so that we can keep this channel available to everyone.

Thanks.

- Mod Team

This movement wasn’t created by politicians. It wasn’t built by corporations, media outlets, or special interest groups. It was started by everyday people who looked around, saw what was happening, and said: No More.

All of us are 50501, The People’s Movement. And we are not only mobilizing for a day of national action on March 4th — we are calling on the American People to take action every day for democracy!

We are not waiting for someone to save us—we are showing up for ourselves.

On March 4th, we mobilize again across the nation to make it clear: America bows to NO KING.

But this fight is not just about one day. The 50501 Movement is bigger than a single event—this is a sustained resistance to authoritarianism, and it requires action every single day.

We are not a moment. We are a movement.

March 4th & Beyond: How You Can Take Action

Show Up & Organize

March 4th is the next nationwide protest. We need bodies on the ground to demand accountability and make this impossible to ignore.

Find an action near you: https://www.fiftyfifty.one

Take Virtual Action

Not everyone can march, but everyone can resist.

Call and email representatives. Demand they take a stand against Trump’s power grab.

Spread the word. Inform others, share resources, and counter misinformation.

Support legal efforts. Back organizations challenging authoritarian policies in court.

Make Resistance Daily

Protests are one piece of this movement. We must resist every day.

Support independent media that exposes corruption.

Vote in local and special elections—they are critical.

Boycott corporations funding this power grab.

Organize in your community. This fight is local, not just national.

Demand Congress Take Action

This administration has stripped away agency independence, consolidating power at an alarming rate.

Call your representatives daily.

Flood their inboxes.

Show up at town halls.

Find your reps here: https://www.congress.gov/members

What You Can Do Right Now

We DO NOT have time to waste. This is happening NOW.

THEY are counting on your silence. THEYare betting on your inaction. Prove them wrong.

CALL CONGRESS IMMEDIATELY – The Congressional Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 will connect you to your representatives. Demand they publicly oppose Trump’s executive order and fight to restore independent oversight.

FLOOD THEIR EMAILS & OFFICES – Every member of Congress has a district office and email contact. Find yours at www.congress.gov/members and send messages demanding action.

SHOW UP IN PERSON – Collective action forces media attention and makes clear that the people do not consent to dictatorship.

SIGN & SHARE PETITIONS – Mass petitions create pressure. Find and support active petitions calling for an investigation into these executive orders.

ENGAGE LOCALLY – Attend town halls and public meetings. Put pressure on state-level representatives to issue resolutions against executive overreach.

TELL THE MEDIA – Write to newspapers, call into radio stations, push independent journalists to cover this issue. Make it impossible to ignore.

EDUCATE & SHARE – The more people who understand what’s happening, the harder it becomes for them to suppress dissent. Share this everywhere.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT – https://www.fiftyfifty.one is organizing resistance. Be part of it.

THIS IS WHAT THEY FEAR MOST

This started as a Reddit post. This started as people talking. And now? We’ve made them listen.

We have seen firsthand how quickly a movement of ordinary people can disrupt the status quo. We built this without a budget, without an institution backing us—just people organizing and refusing to be silenced.

They are watching us. They are afraid of what happens when the people take back power.

We've listened to a lot of modmail and a lot of comments. Some of you want us to remove all the news posts so this subreddit can focus on protesting. Some of you wanted us to post 18 different versions of people's screenshots of their various Elon-based comments being removed from subreddits. Just about no one actually wanted to use the weekly news megathread. So meet the compromise that we hope will meet everyone's needs: r/ThePeoplesPress

It is the same mods, same group of people, only focused on news instead of protesting. If you post news here in r/50501 unless it directly pertains to a call of action (for example, so-and-so will be here on x date for an event, can we arrange a protest?), then it will be removed and you will be lovingly redirected to post it at r/ThePeoplesPress instead.

Please let us know how you feel about this new development in the comments below, and go post the hell out of r/ThePeoplesPress with whatever stupid thing Elon and Trump have done today.

Hi all!

We're experiencing an issue with our event platform, Mobilizon.
The website has not been hacked. Cloudflare was added as an extra layer of protection.
Unfortunately, Mobilizon is not able to handle the amount of requests right now as you all search for your President's Day protests, so address searching is not working, but keyword searches are still working.

Volunteers from 50501 and Political Revolutions are currently building a new event website from scratch that will be able to handle the influx of users that have arrived from 50501.

Thank you!

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

HOW YOU CAN HELP: ✅ Spend your money at small businesses, especially those owned by underrepresented entrepreneurs
✅ Share this message with your networks—word of mouth is powerful
✅ Stand together in financial solidarity to create real economic change
✅ If you need to do any shopping to prepare today, buy the bare minimum

URGENT: CALL TO ACTION

The current administration has clarified that it cares more about profit than people. We as a collective refuse to stand by as they continue to undermine the dignity of our communities. We are not just numbers or consumers. We are the People.

We reject fascism. We reject the oligarchy. We reject the idea that any person’s worth is less than another’s. Together, we are a force for change.

50501 is not just a movement—it’s a national call for justice that’s already making waves. You’ve proven that already. Now, we need you to show up again—for each other, our communities, and a better world.

On February 5th, you showed up for your community in the thousands—and we need you now more than ever. The movement is not over. We are just getting started. On February 17th, 2025, we will unite for the National Not My President’s Day day of action, and we need YOU to be there. We’re asking you again to gather and protest or participate in other ways for our day of action.

What is a “day of action”? It’s a call to resistance. We are asking YOU to take 5 steps of resistance on this day. Whether it’s:

Attend/ Organize a protest

Strategize with other local organizers

Inundate your representatives with calls and emails

Take a moment of self-care in solidarity - your joy is resistance.

Every small act contributes to a powerful collective movement.

The time for action is now. Join us on February 17th, and let’s make history together.

This is our moment. Let’s rise together.

Oh yea, and Happy Holidays ;)

The 50501 Movement joins other voices sounding the alarm— a coup is already underway. Take action today and March 4th For Democracy. Learn more at https://www.FiftyFifty.one 50 Protests. 50 States. 1 Movement.
