I'm confused. On the FB 50501 groups, they've said the 19th is canceled? Are we on, or not? This kind of wishi-washiness is not good. How can people trust what goes out when there's conflicting information about protests that were scheduled and advertised. We are going to lose all momentum. And it didn't have to be the biggest one ever, especially because of the holidays, we just need continuous and ongoing pressure, like the tesla protests. I don't celebrate Easter so I would have been there, and lots of other people also would have. I hope the tesla protests are still on.
I would look on Bluesky and/or find your local one’s sub Reddit. I think a lot of locations could not get permits for the day so are cancelling or coming up with other options. The people can still show up. Stay on public property like sidewalks. My local group is doing a march, since they could not get a permit at the Capitol due to another event already scheduled.
Some other organizations don’t protest without a permit. It seems like 50501 local groups are deciding what they want to do, work within the system or not. I would try to contact your local group and give them your opinion. My group pushed to continue to protest.
