I found this cool guide from r/50501. It is from u/MGSFFVII and they spent a lot of time on it. Covers from protesting, to boycotting and eliminating big tech, to recruitment and community.

(v28) I decided to start a list of links as I thought that there was no collection of links. We should collect links and images relating to 50501. Please share this list around. If you want to save this repo to your hard drive, click the view source button and copy. Give suggestions to add or edit to the list, via replies or messages, description is not required but appreciated.

If you are creating a guide or list for protestors, lets link to each other so we can get a info network!

Sorry for the inactivity. I need help finding a link to the "Hold the Line: Options for Resistance" document. I know that the name got changed, but I think the link may be dead.

This is the link: https://drive.proton.me/urls/WR9Z5F75FR#eErapmqe2tlZ

If we're going to effectively fight Trump and the rise of fascism, we have to act together, and show up in numbers!

Check the website map to see events happening near you: https://goodtroubleliveson.org/#attend

You don't need to sign up there or give any information, in fact, it's better if you don't. Just find the address, grab some snacks and water, a sign if you can make one, and show up.

If you have a printer, bring some union pamphlets to hand out and tell people about the General Strike. Spread the word if you can, share this image, and let's stand up together in solidarity and make some Good Trouble!

This Instagram account is making vague claims about an upcoming farm workers strike in California. It would be big if true.

You, who are reading this, you should join in with us. I'm looking at the live cam and not much is going on. Get out there. Now. Go. Vamonos. For real. I expect to see at least a few of you over in Washington or Florida or whatever. No advocating on the internet it's not thumb warrior time, it's time to leave the house/workplace and go. Leave work early. Idgaf if your boss says no, if you guys don't do something now, you won't be able to afford to live anyways, job or not. Come on. MOVE! LIKE, ACTUALLY! THAT SPREADSHEET CAN WAIT! GET OVER THERE FOR REAL THIS TIME! FILL YOUR CAR WITH GAS, OR CALL A FRIEND TO DRIVE YOU, OR GET A BUS TICKET, OR JUST MARCH AT THE LOCAL TOWN HALL. No more procrastinating. Those of you who are already there, cool.

Secret sabotage (self.General)
submitted 3 weeks ago by Fukushimaguy to c/General
 
 

Simple sabotage. No big loud violence or riots, silent sneaky sabotage is what we need more of. Choose targets wisely. No random. Strategic. It can be as simple as visiting the white house and flushing a sponge down the toilet. Don't be afraid.

No Kings Map: https://www.nokings.org/#map

Find one near you, write down the address and time, and head out tomorrow.

Recommended that you bring a mask, hat, water and snacks.

Bring a US flag or political sign sign if you have one.

For privacy reasons you may want to avoid bringing your phone, or place it inside a faraday bag (a really well sealed tinfoil pouch will work, and put it in airplane mode to avoid draining your battery) until you get home.

If you have a first aid kit, it wouldn't hurt to bring it, just in case.

The current list of categories on events.pol-rev.com doesn't really reflect the kinds of events that are being posted. Trying to figure out what a reasonable list of categories would be.

I'll post some ideas in the comments. Please upvote if you think it should be a category, downvote if not. And post more ideas if you think things are missing.

I have an idea to create a national concert including musicians that do not support Trump. We would need the musicians to donate (perform for free) and set up, venue etc. This would need to be made a fundraiser of course. I was part of organizing keeping fracking out of NC. Reaching out for more interest!

Small list of Musicians found that refuse Trump using their music.

Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, Phil Collins, Pharrell, John Fogerty, Neil Young, Eddy Grant, Panic! at the Disco, R.E.M. and Guns N’ Roses.

Any takers, experience etc. ?

Have a laugh as you watch this 50 year old movie that is the disaster of this country and the stupidity in which it happens.

There's a actual murderer in it too.
