I think this one is too short noticed for most people
Sergio@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
yeah it’s going to be tough. supposedly a bunch of people on Reddit are organizing it redlib.northboot.xyz/r/50501/ I saw mention of it on facebook too. I think part of the goal is to get Democrats to grow a spine, since they plan to do nothing.

I only just learned about it today, myself. I work that day, but I might be able to shift things around.
I really wish that these protests were more widely shared in advance. I want to be involved, but only getting a couple of days advance warning makes it really hard. I know that sometimes you have to act fast, but if you want your movement to succeed then you’ve got to try to consider the real lives of all of the people who want to help, but are also really limited in their time. Plan protests on weekends, and if you’ve got to protest on a weekday, then plan it way ahead of time and give everyone a chance to plan to be there. I’m sure it looks better to have one big protest with 10X people there than ten protests with 1X people attending.

i don’t know who organized this and just made this post to have some answers. Thankfully, some users are coming up with answers … so i have updated the header of this post.
myster@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Pretty sure it was just an online thing, without any real leaders. Which, don’t get me wrong that has its own benefits. But understanding that origin also helps explain why it’s a little unorganized

Thanks, i have edited my post with this and the [solved] flare.

Good luck but I either need to fly or take a ferry to get to my state’s capitol building. Need more than a few days heads up.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Ain’t driving 400 miles to Sacramento when there’s a perfectly good Federal Building within a mile. Also it’s not the State of California I’m mad at.
bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yup, that’s a good 8 hour drive for me as well.

As an outsider I can’t see them caring about this at all… but boy I support you guys. It’s time you do something
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Isnt the second amendment about making them care when a tyrannical government appears?
MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have no idea what that means but go for it
lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Yeah, but unfortunately the 2A folks are itching for trump to declare open season on LGBTQ+ and minorities.
remer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Does nobody have a job here?
endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Call in sick. You’re not gonna get fired for missing one day.
If you are gonna get fired for that, this is literally the protest to stop that shit.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You’re not gonna get fired for missing one day.
Tell me you’ve never worked for minimum wage by telling me you’ve never worked for minimum wage.

Tell me you’ve never lived in poverty with children depending on you by telling me you’ve never lived in poverty with children depending on you.
remer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not everyone lives in their state capitol. It’s a 10+ hour drive for some people. Take three days off? This protest is going to be low turnout.
Bojack411@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is a white people thing. Students and min wage workers in large cities can pull this off. America is full of people with hope and a 9-5 to.oay there ridiculous rent.
sudoer777@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
As a student there is no way I am skipping a day’s worth of classes and risking my grade for a single protest that’s probably not going to do shit similar to the other protests I’ve been to that didn’t do shit
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes, all those impoverished people in cities working minimum wage jobs that rely on every cent of their paycheck just to keep a roof over their kids’ heads and food in their bellies who will get fired for missing even a day of work for any reason can totally pull this off. Totally.

Some things are more important.
Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
And accomplish what exactly? None of this means a damn thing if nobody has any clue what’s going on
A_A@lemmy.world 1 year ago
People will have to talk and organize … some leaders will emerge … the poster says :
We the People Reject Project 2025 !
youvegotmoxie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Have you participated in a protest before? There is a significant amount of planning involved.
SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why on such a weird day? I can just take off work this week and drive 3 hours to Madison lol. Can I digitally be there. Although I’m expecting an very poor turnout in every state tbh.
anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Yeah February in WI is not a smart time to plan to stand outside. Same in most other northern states for at least another 2 months
ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m guessing since they’re protesting project 2025 organizing the protest to happen on 2/5/25 kind of makes sense.
SuspiciousUser@lemmy.world 1 year ago
because in the middle of the week in the middle of the day is when it causes the most disruption to literally everything and everybody. Government officials won’t even be there on the weekend. May as well decide to do it in the middle of a huge field out in the country.
SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ah yeah that makes sense. I would do it around 3-5pm so they can’t go home lmao.
A_A@lemmy.world 1 year ago
i was also thinking it might be better in the weekend … fortunately, people will talk and decide.
But also it is called 50 protests, 50 states, one day : February 5thKittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The date will be 2/5/25. I think it’s more symbolism of protesting Project 2025.

Watchout for Google too!
Not commanding enough. It should be “Avoid Google at all costs”.

They left out writing the number of your attorney or the ACLU on yourself in sharpie, so you’ll have it if you need it.

Sergio@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
oooh… someone mentioned this on 196, was that you? I did a couple web searches but couldn’t figure it out… they might delete this post, u should think about where else to post it…
A_A@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No it wasn’t me and i made a comment in here describing where i found it.
Also i read carefully the rules and don’t believe my post will be deleted.
Finally, just in case, i made a crosspost at my own community for safekeeping.
HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What exactly counts as the mainstream media nowadays?
Cable news?
I haven’t had cable TV for probably 20 years now.
Internet news?
Which ones? There seems to be an endless number of them
A_A@lemmy.world 1 year ago
for me it is NPR (National public Radio) … or any sources which are good enough to be the main link for posts in !worldnews@lemmy.world or such main communities…
