50501 comes up on /all feed every so often, with new pictures of protests and rallies and so forth, but I never see information about upcoming events on there.
Just an FYI the 50501 group launched a Lemmy instance somewhat recently.
Also try https://50501.chat/c/. For example, https://50501.chat/c/California.
Searching for @50501.chat from your Lemmy might turn up a match too.
That’s what that means…! I thought it was an area code or something
I only know about it because I happened to see their announcement when they launched the instance. It sounds like it was a reddit movement before they came to Lemmy.
I think it’s a platform independent movement that is now on Lemmy. Not sure it started on Reddit.
It was. Sad that Reddit removed their subreddit with all its info, but I guess not surprising.
This has some. I don’t think 50501 is on there but there’s a range of events. My teacher’s union posted on here and then I found a few more.

Bluesky has an active community posting for 50501 and the organizers have a discord and a subreddit.
There was a website posted on Lemmy a few days ago that showed up in my all feed, where you could look up where protests were planned. I imagine platforms like X instantly remove links to it. So it’s probably difficult to get the word out.
Sign up for Indivisible. They have an email list and will send you dates well in advance.
You need to stage a protest against the insufficient information.
I read your name as FelixCheese.
Cheese yourself 😜
Not the gel packs!!
I was wondering the same about my city today, because there seem to have been two protests, but I didn’t realize until afterwards. Different county/protests though.
I feel like they are being purposely mis-managed to stall momentum. My city had 2 protests the same day a few weeks back and the one I went to only got like 100 people to attend. Why was there 2 protests instead of 1 larger protest?
In my case it was some idiots protesting against vaccination mandates (which aren’t around anymore) and a lot of people giving them hell. That sounded like fun.
I’ve been feeling the same way. I searched the “Indivisible” site and found a local chapter that’s planning a rally. It feels like there should be an independent site where all similar events are posted, but I haven’t found one.
Depends on where you live, but try to find an organization active in your town whose ideas are somewhat in line with yours. If they’re on a social media you use or have a website with an RSS feed you can subscribe to, use that. Otherwise, try and get in their contacts (many organizations have a contact list broader than their actual member list, so you don’t have to adhere if you’re not sure to commit). Then you get notified for every action they take part in.
To find them in the first place… Keep your eyes peeled for stickers or posters in the streets; and try to find the people at a protest or event said posters advertised.
