Fighting fascism requires more than showing up.
It requires infrastructure.
You need to know when and where to organize.
You need resources that actually work.
You need communications that cut through the noise and reach 90,000+ activists ready to act.
That’s what this publication is for.

We’re a Grassroots Movement
As everyone in the 50501 Movement knows, we’re a grassroots, decentralized network with no central leadership, no headquarters, no treasury. That’s our strength but it also means we need independent infrastructure.
This publication helps that infrastructure.
I’m an independent organizer and communications coordinator within the movement. I gather stories from organizers across the country, create resources that get shared in hundreds of local groups, and contribute to the connective tissue that keeps our decentralized movement coordinated.
Your subscription - whether free or paid - makes this possible.
“I really want to support you because I believe in it! I want to be informed of your work so I can share it with others- friends, family, community. “ -Patricia
How Paid Subscriptions Work
Paid subscribers currently get the exact same content as free subscribers. Zero exclusive posts. Everything I publish, you can read for free.
So why subscribe?
Because independent infrastructure costs money to maintain.
Paid subscriptions fund:
The time to gather and publish daily movement updates
Coordination with organizers nationwide
Creation of organizing resources and educational content
Operating costs to keep this running
My work as an independent communications volunteer
You’re not paying for access - you’re paying to ensure this infrastructure exists for everyone.
“Thankful for your work sharing information. In the red state of SC, our voices supporting democracy are few, and we depend on you for sharing information. “
-Catherine
Questions?
“Are you part of the official 50501 organization?”
There is no official organization and that’s intentional. 50501 is a decentralized movement with no central leadership, no headquarters, and no single point of failure.
I’m an independent organizer operating autonomously within that structure, endorsed by other organizers and linked on movement websites. This publication is part of the connective tissue that helps a leaderless movement stay coordinated.
“Where does my money go?”
Your subscription funds the daily work of this publication: researching, writing, and coordinating with organizers nationwide to build communications infrastructure for the movement.
This is a for-profit operation by design. Sustainability requires it. If we hit our goals, this becomes full-time work which means more resources, faster updates, and stronger infrastructure for everyone.
Subscriptions are payments for content and services, not charitable donations, and are not tax-deductible.
“Can I trust this?”
I’ve been doing this work since the early 50501 days in February 2025. Since then, this publication has grown to serve 90,000+ subscribers, with endorsements and links from organizers across the movement. You can verify this by checking the official 50501 website. I also founded and administer The 50501 Facebook group, now 450,000+ members strong, a community that directly shapes this publication through the posts and conversations happening there every day.
The 50501 name and logo are public domain, which means anyone in the movement can use them. What sets this publication apart is the track record.
“What if I can’t afford to pay?”
Then don’t. Everything stays free.
If you’re here to fight for democracy, you get access.
Paid subscribers who support and help fund the time that goes into this newletter may receive deep dives on topics but all information regarding upcoming events stay free and informational!
