      50501 have been reaching out to actually invite the cops to show they are aiming for a peaceful protest. This is what happened with our local group and is why I’m not going today. I’m gonna hold up and provide online support for my group(not the 50501 group, we have someone on that too).

        Is this a organization wide thing or a local thing? There seems to be huge variance in who actually organizes these, like some are from local Pro-Palestinian groups and others are from farmers or something.

          To the best of my understanding, 50501, the org is putting on the main ones. This is the No Kings one. We have a second thing going on today that is just a protest against the parade though. There was something I saw about there being 1800 protests today so I would say not all of them are 50501 related.

          50501 is kind of a mess that is barely functioning it seems so the variance could just be from them not being super cohesive.

      see we’re protesting the right way! Scheduling it at times that won’t interfere with anything AND being completely submissive to authority
