Listen,
for folks who don’t know, I was a part of a small organizing team that led to a mass mobilization in 813 cities worldwide in 2019.I am not talking out of my ass.
You should be VERY VERY VERY careful in this environment about sharing flyers for events that identify NO organizer

From what I can see about it, the organisers are some reddit mods. The person who started it was reddit.com/u/Evolved_Fungi. The subreddit is r/50501 and their bluesky is https://bsky.app/profile/50501movement.bsky.social.
A lot of people don’t know about it, its gotten almost no attention from the media, that I have noticed. All I have found is one newsweek article https://www.newsweek.com/50-states-anti-trump-protest-nationwide-february-5-details-2025300
Finally, there is real article in mainstream media that can be used to create a post in one of the main news communities.
Would you care to create it ?
N.B. it can’t be in /c/WorldNews because they do not accept news from the USA.
Posted it, !news@lemmy.world. They said the same things in their discord about it when I shared it, funnily enough.
Thanks for helping people understand what this is.
Now, about their discord : do you mean they are saying people should see posts in here at Lemmy ?
No, I meant that they were happy to see that a news org reported on 50501.
