Considering Protesting At Your State Capitol 50501? Here are The Deets

We The People will be protesting Trump's destruction of the federal government at State Capitols across the country on Wednesday, February 5, 2025.

Some folks hesitate to attend because of the decentralized nature of the protest and concern for their well-being. I was too until I attended the Keep Families Together protest in my city of Arlington Texas. It changed me for life. Driving home I felt like I left my family there.

The 50501 protest was conceived just ten days ago and has grown into a nationwide movement. It is in response to the lack of coverage of protests that have already happened and to the illegal takeover of the federal government by Trump and his Project 2025 sycophant oligarchs.

If you can't make to your state capitol look for local protests like this one in Arlington Texas sponsored by the Tarrant County Democratic Party.

I was there proudly waving our transgender flag to support our immigrant community. Trump has begun imprisoning deportees in camps, and most horrifyingly, flights have begun transporting detainees to Guantánamo Bay. As a great-grandchild of refugees who fled Germany with the destruction of the Weimar Republic, I DO NOT CONSENT.

I DO NOT CONSENT to the wholesale destruction of our planet

I DO NOT CONSENT to the stripping away of our body autonomy, our body sovereignty

I DO NOT CONSENT to the targeting and dehumanization of our LGBTQ+ community

I DO NOT CONSENT to ripping apart our immigrant neighbors from their children and their homes

I DO NOT CONSENT to the systematic theft of our labor and our time

I DO NOT CONSENT to the censorship of our speech

I DO NOT CONSENT to extorting our wealth in return for our health

I DO NOT CONSENT to the destruction of the wall between church and state

I DO NOT CONSENT to making allies of our enemies and our enemies into allies

I DO NOT CONSENT to living under the boot of a Fascist regime and unelected oligarchs.
