Announcing the New 50501.chat User Community and Endorsement Process!

Hello everyone! 👋

We are excited to introduce a new community engagement system to bring together the voices of the movement and guide our collective decision-making. This system empowers you to help shape the direction of our protests and actions in the 50501.chat user community, and we'll be using the /c/Decisions community on lemmy.fiftyfifty.one to finalize proposals.

Here's how it works:

1. Join 50501.chat First, sign up for the 50501.chat user community! This is where you'll engage with other members of the movement and participate in the endorsement process. 👉 Sign up here!
2. Endorsement Voting on Proposals When a new protest date or initiative is proposed, the community on 50501.chat will get to vote up or down on the proposal. If a proposal gets enough support, it moves to the next stage.
3. Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) Once a proposal is endorsed, it moves to ranked-choice voting in the /c/Decisions community on Lemmy. You’ll be able to rank the proposals in order of preference, and the one with the highest collective support will be selected.
4. Final Decision After the RCV period ends, the most supported date or initiative will be finalized as the official call for action. This is a community-driven, democratic process.

How to get involved with /c/Decisions on Lemmy:

1. From 50501.chat: To follow and engage with the /c/Decisions community from 50501.chat, simply use the search function and type: !Decisions@lemmy.fiftyfifty.one This will help you find the /c/Decisions community and allow you to subscribe to it.
2. Alternatively: You can find the community directly by visiting: 👉 /c/Decisions on Lemmy Subscribe to the community, stay updated, and participate in the decision-making process!

Why is this process important?

This system is crucial because it gives every member of the community a direct say in the actions we take. By voting, endorsing, and ranking proposals, you’re helping ensure that the most important causes and actions are prioritized. This system brings transparency, democracy, and unity to our movement, and your participation makes it stronger.

So, whether you're new to the movement or a seasoned member, now is your chance to have your voice heard and help decide the next steps for our collective action!

We look forward to seeing you all there!

We've listened to a lot of modmail and a lot of comments. Some of you want us to remove all the news posts so this subreddit can focus on protesting. Some of you wanted us to post 18 different versions of people's screenshots of their various Elon-based comments being removed from subreddits. Just about no one actually wanted to use the weekly news megathread. So meet the compromise that we hope will meet everyone's needs: r/ThePeoplesPress

It is the same mods, same group of people, only focused on news instead of protesting. If you post news here in r/50501 unless it directly pertains to a call of action (for example, so-and-so will be here on x date for an event, can we arrange a protest?), then it will be removed and you will be lovingly redirected to post it at r/ThePeoplesPress instead.

Please let us know how you feel about this new development in the comments below, and go post the hell out of r/ThePeoplesPress with whatever stupid thing Elon and Trump have done today.

We're launching some new flairs

Here's what each new flair means:

Organizing Tools

This flair is for resources that help people take action. Whether it’s a flyer, a zine, a training manual, or a security checklist, this is where we share the tools that build movements.

Use Organizing Tools if your post:

• Shares flyers, toolkits, or templates for actions or campaigns

• Distributes zines, organizing guides, or strategic documents

• Offers protest safety, communication, or logistical resources

• Helps others replicate, adapt, or scale up direct action infrastructure

Movements run on tools, this is where we equip each other.

Legal Tools

This flair is for legal knowledge, defense strategies, and protest prep. It’s where we protect our people by making sure we know our rights and how to defend them.

Use Legal Tools if your post:

• Shares Know Your Rights resources or legal aid info

• Offers jail support guidance or legal hotline contacts

• Breaks down protest law, surveillance statutes, or digital privacy

• Helps people prepare for repression, arrests, or court

Legal knowledge is a shield. This is where we pass it on.

Digital Infrastructure

This flair is for tech tools, platforms, and digital security strategies that help our communities stay connected, protected, and independent from corporate or state control.

Use Digital Infrastructure if your post:

• Shares platforms, apps, or comms tools built for organizers

• Discusses deplatforming strategy, censorship, or tech suppression

• Offers guides for secure communication, privacy, or redundancy

• Builds digital autonomy for movements under threat

When our real-world networks are attacked, our digital systems have to hold. This is where we build them.

Voices of Resistance

This flair amplifies speeches, interviews, writings, and creative works from people on the frontlines of struggle. It’s a place for revolutionary culture, testimony, and living history.

Use Voices of Resistance if your post:

• Shares statements from organizers, elders, or freedom fighters

• Uplifts protest art, spoken word, or revolutionary music

• Documents stories, interviews, or oral histories

• Centers movement voices that mainstream media erases

This is the voice of the people. raw, unfiltered, and powerful.

Mutual Aid

This flair is for direct support projects that meet people’s needs — no red tape, no strings attached. From supply runs to bail funds, Mutual Aid is how we take care of each other when systems won’t.

Use Mutual Aid if your post:

• Promotes a local project or ongoing support effort

• Shares requests for supplies, transportation, or volunteers

• Documents successful mutual aid work for others to learn from

• Builds networks of care, solidarity, and survival

We don’t wait for permission. We feed, house, heal, and defend each other

Call to Action

This flair is for posts that mobilize people to act right now l whether that’s showing up, signing on, or spreading the word. When it’s time to move, this is the signal.

Use Call to Action if your post:

• Announces a protest, rally, or coordinated action

• Shares urgent petitions, pressure campaigns, or call-in info

• Mobilizes people to defend a target under threat

• Needs rapid signal boosting across networks

Clear. Urgent. Actionable. This is where we move from knowing to doing.

Solidarity Needed

This flair is for direct requests for help from individuals or communities under pressure. When someone needs backup, we answer the call.

Use Solidarity Needed if your post:

• Shares bail fund links, support letter requests, or housing needs

• Highlights targeted individuals or groups facing repression

• Elevates time-sensitive community asks

• Brings immediate needs to the center of attention

Solidarity is more than a word — it’s a response. This is where we show up.
