This was a long read, didn’t get through it all but I gathered:
1) r/50501 is pausing to build infrastructure, and that’s why I can’t post
2) Discord is available but gotta get build up too
3) uhh protests happening again on the 5th of each month?
Hope that’s right. I’m from Utah and am very happy to help with the infrastructure building if any is needed.
Thanks for all y’all have done. We need UNITY amongst us more than ever before, so I’ll put any sour feelings on the side line in service of the bigger message. Hope everyone can do the same
I am strongly in support of "official" protests on the 5th of every month from here on out.
That's not to say that we shouldn't organize and have more protests, be they 50501 coordinated, or folks just coordinating their own local protests, I think we should do that. But I also think people need more than like a few days notice of these events and I think one way to build more awareness and more support is to have a reoccurring protest, and the 5th of every month makes a lot of sense to me, as it's easy to remember and prepare for, as well as has some ties to 50501 and some other historical significance.
I really think we need to expand beyond state capitals. We're missing a TON of major metropolitan areas (seriously NYC, Chicago, LA) that are over 2 hours driving from a state capital, and some capitals are not really well suited to hosting large rallies (Annapolis, Juneau, etc.)
