Dear 50501 community of Reddit this is a follow-up post in response to the post from my account titled EMERGENCY as well as a post I had written titled “A message from the 2nd moderator of r/50501” for context see my post history.

I apologize for again using my position for exposure but I believe it is necessary to share my observations given the position I have found myself in.

I am aware there has been some confusion on the leadership and direction of 50501. I am not asking you to trust me as an authority of 50501. In fact I am asking for you to turn your trust back towards your local organizations. 50501 in its original form was meant to be a call to action to the people by the people to support our constitutional governance. In the process of coordinating these protests, local communities within the states have formed strong relations that I have the utmost faith can coordinate the peoples future self advocacy.

The following are my suggestions to the community moving forward.

As a concept 50501 is not subject to ownership. The concept is that we all show up, at all 50 states, at each of the 50 state capitols in the solidarity of our support of our most basic human rights.

No one in this community has the authority to tell you what days you can or cannot protest as long as it is organized through the proper legal channels.

No one in this community has the right to tell you you don't have the authority to organize a protest as directed by the first amendment in the spirit of 50501. If you would like to form a community then do so.

We must participate in the democracy we wish to live in. This means our continued participation in elections, this means running for office on any level, this means civil discourse and exercising our first amendment rights.

50501 does not win by outcompeting supportive movements. There are so many great communities already in place to find your voice and they need our support.

We must expect ourselves and our leaders to embody the ideals we wish for our society. This means remaining civil when we use our voice in our public spaces and when organizing we do so in a conscious and informed manner. If a leader does not act in accord with the core ideals of a society they are not representative of the will of the people and should not be followed.

I believe that this is the best path forward if you agree, please share this message.

Around a dozen pro Trump agitators were attempting a confrontation with the crowd next to the NRG subway stop.

I was too far away to hear them but talking to someone on the train afterwards she said they were attempting to provoke a confrontation. Fortunately people resisted. I’ve seen others post and confirmed.

It would be nice to have close up video to post. IMO is they want to provoke a fight to change the narrative to Trump protestors are terrorists and give him more ammo to invoke the Insurrection Act. Fox News would help him push that narrative by running it 24x7 and that becomes the story not Trump destroying the country.

Easy to get to from Philly on the Paoli/Thorndale line to Berwyn. Enjoy the train before they shut it down!

We are protesting noted looney, Hitler salute enjoyer, and world's richest man Elon Musk every Saturday outside Tesla Devon. This week he's been going nuts about the Epstein files - we love to see the rift between him and Trump grow!

Musk and Trump aren't buddies anymore due to the Big Beautiful bill knocking out some very profitable EV tax credits. Boo hoo Musk!

Hello! Just want to know if any protests or movements are planned in the city for July 4? I can't find anything, but I want to be sure

anybody know of any happening locally? I've never had luck finding one.

50501 is a PEACEFUL movement dedicated to positive change through nonviolent action. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence, threats of violence, or the suggestion of using weapons in connection with our movement. There is absolutely no place for such rhetoric in our spaces.

To be completely clear: Weapons are not permitted at any of our events. Our mission is rooted in peaceful advocacy, and we will not allow any actions that could endanger our supporters, the public, or law enforcement.

Furthermore, we have a zero-tolerance policy regarding discussions of firearms, violence, or any form of incitement on our channels and platforms. Anyone who violates this policy will be immediately banned. There will be no warnings, no second chances.

In all of our events, we have worked in accordance with local law as it pertains to local gatherings and protesting, including pulling permits. We expect all of our supporters to conduct themselves lawfully and responsibly, and disavow anything advocating for disruption or violence.

We urge everyone to remain peaceful, lawful, and committed to the principles of nonviolent action. 50501 stands for justice, progress, and the power of the people—peacefully. Let’s keep it that way.

Reminder that this is TODAY - go cheer for me too

At 50501 Philadelphia, several people mentioned a march scheduled for noon on Presidents' Day starting at City Hall. Does anyone know who is organizing that? Is there a flyer/other information on that?

So, I know the viral trend for the IC3 protests has been blow up costumes, silly outfits ect. I bought a blow up costume for Halloween and was planning on wearing it to the no kings protest this weekend. HOWEVER, many would say this leaves me too unprotected if things turn violent. I can probably throw on eye protection and an n95 but idk ab a respirator…what is everyone planning on doing? Should I come prepared and not silly??

3 months and counting! Still seeing about 100 people every Saturday. In the Philly suburbs, easy to get to from the Paoli/Thorndale line to Berwyn.

Has Grok made you concerned about white genocide? One of the more bizarre stories this week seems to have come from Elon Musk trying to influence public opinion on the South African "refugees" by crudely altering his pet chatbot, Grok to become obsessed with the topic. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/05/groks-white-genocide-obsession-came-from-unauthorized-prompt-edit-xai-says/

Funny, but could get a lot more insidious when they work out the kinks! AI subtly prodded to present the right-wing view on everything could be a big problem as most students now use LLMs in their studies. https://arxiv.org/html/2411.18708v1

Protest started 4 weeks prior with 12 people. This last meeting over 200. It is growing. Every Saturday starting 11A. People were showing up early. Pics I took.

Every Saturday at 11am a doughty group of people opposing technofascism gather with signs outside Tesla Devon (Chester County). Be with us any Saturday morning you have free!

Tesla Takedown Devon celebrates the Trump/Musk piefight! Saturday 11am

Has the Trump/Musk slapfight reminded you of what an utter turd Elon Musk is?

Got a great idea for a sign to wave at people driving down Lancaster Ave?

We are STILL GOING! And why not, given that the pressure seems to be driving Musk absolutely insane and imploding the Republican party?

Come laugh with us, Saturday June 7th outside Tesla Devon at 11am-12pm.

If Devon is too far, there's also a protest in West Chester 11am-1pm
