Hey friends!

I'm looking for info about the 50501[1] protests slated to take place tomorrow. The organization looks a little slapdash and seems to be mostly focused on state capitols, but I figure there's a good chance folks are also organizing locally.

I'm very much *not* interested in discussion around the merit of protesting right now, just trying to find like-minded folks. Any tips about how to get connected are hugely appreciated, especially if it doesn't require a Meta account (FB/IG/Whatsapp).

Have a great one and stay safe out there :)

EDIT - /u/JasonUndead helpfully pointed out that I'm asking about the 5th (WEDNESDAY, not tomorrow!). Thanks friend!

Be careful of new laws and remember to shut your damn phone off. If you must photograph your presence, use a digital camera

Asheville uses drones to see who is attending these gatherings

Edit: no vandalism, no graffiti, keep it clean, if you feel a flag is needed, don't pick a dumb one for life in the USA.
