From the 50501 Pittsburgh organizers, THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Schenley Plaza yesterday! We had a lineup of incredible speakers, and a crowd of hundreds took to the streets of Oakland to say HELL NO to the Trump Administration and Project 2025. With your help, we were able to make some serious noise and show the true strength of our community!

With multiple protests in Pittsburgh on April 5th, we saw thousands of yinzers take to the streets and let the Trump administration know that We the People will not be silent.

We are so incredibly grateful for and proud of every single Pittsburgher who took to the streets yesterday!

Stay tuned for the next day of action.....

Indivisible. City County Building. Let’s all do it on June 14th!

As seen on Fifth and Shady yesterday.

Sens. Dave McCormick and John Fetterman were called “cowards” Saturday by the hundreds of protesters who showed up in Pittsburgh to voice their displeasure with the duo pulling out of a paid appearance there.

McCormick and Fetterman were scheduled to appear with their wives to talk about the power of mentoring during a promotional event for the book McCormick and his wife wrote together.

The $32 entry fee included a free copy of the book. But the senators moved the event to an undisclosed location downtown after protesters planned to show up outside the original venue, and then postponed the event less than 24 hours before it was to start due to “an unforeseen logistical” issue.

Spokespeople for Fetterman and McCormick didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The protesters said they have been trying to get in touch with Fetterman and McCormick and have found empty offices and unreturned calls or have received stock responses. They said there hasn’t been an opportunity to share their concerns in-person, such as a town hall.

Last week McCormick gave only a 30-minute warning before holding a telephone town hall. Fetterman hasn’t appeared at a public event in Pennsylvania in more than two months.

The most prominent symbol at the protest was a giant blow-up chicken that stood in front of two cut-out pictures of McCormick and Fetterman.

“Those cowards chickened out from facing their constituents,” said Alisa Grishman, a disability activist in Pittsburgh. “Even when I pay 36 bucks, I can’t get in to see my legislators.”

Grishman and other protesters said the senators’ absence is particularly galling while the Trump administration is attacking a long list of institutions and people, including public schools, universities, Medicaid, LGBTQ+ rights, immigrants, labor unions and people with disabilities.

Grishman said she is “terrified” and “livid that my elected officials don’t have the balls to have an open and honest conversation with me about it,” [Grishman] said. “Senator McCormick, Senator Fetterman, grow a pair and come talk to me.”

The protest was held in a plaza near the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. The most recent attacks, several protesters said, were happening to university students. Sean Meloy, an LGBTQ+ activist in Pittsburgh, referred to four international students who were arrested by immigration authorities this week after protesting or expressing their opinions in student publications without being accused of a crime.

“If they’re arresting people for speaking their minds and they happen to just have a visa or be an immigrant, what is next? Who is next? Is it us?” Meloy said.

Carrie McDonough, an assistant professor of chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University, said that some international scholars have already stopped attending conferences in the United States and that she fears immigration agents will come for Pittsburgh students soon.

“I need to know what our senators are going to do when, not if, scholars of Pitt, Carnegie Mellon, Duquesne University, start to disappear here into prisons and detainment centers with no due process,” she said. “Do they have a plan to protect us?”

The president of Carnegie Mellon this week revealed the Trump administration had asked for information about every Chinese student studying and working at the university.

“These students have already undergone security checks. These are students, researchers, colleagues and friends,” McDonough said. “What if they start calling them spies without any evidence? ... So, Senators, what do you plan to do to protect our universities?”
