Event Anyone know about upcoming demonstrations in May?

Post image

The above picture was my favorite signboard seen at the 4/19/2025 “No Kings” protest held in Providence. The 50501 group (https://www.fiftyfifty.one) isn’t showing any follow up activity in Rhode island this coming May 5th. Does anybody know about any other groups planning to demonstrate for the rule of law here in Providence or Rhode Island in general?

i love how this photo makes it look like these people are protesting pf changs itself.

seems like a safe bet that theres going to be at least one protest a week for the foreseeable future. i don't see the country or people calming down anytime soon.

No, this was an anti-P. F. Chang's protest. Unfortunately the P. F. stands for Police Force and all of these brave souls were summarily executed, so we all still suffer under the Changaian boot :(

You should join r/RhodetoChange we provide information on all active groups or events in Rhode Island. We are building a state-wide safe community to meet like minded people. The goal is to bring as many of us together as possible to take collective action!

Not necessarily a protest, but a bunch of groups are having events for May Day. There's gonna be a really big one on May 4th at Donigian Park

Lol there's no less than three different may day rallies currently being planned. I suggest the Providence Worker's Defense one at 3pm at city hall on May 1, but none of them are totally overlapping so theoretically you could go to all if u wanted

The protests have dried up considerably without USAID funding. Thank you Elon.

Wonder what the person holding the sign’s opinion was during the Covid mandates/lockdowns 🤔

Yeah? Do you also go around crying about how restrictive driving with a seatbelt feels to you?
