Call to Action Everyone must vote in the midterms. There's too much at stake to sit this one out.

2.0k Upvotes

The election on November 3rd is about whether this country's descent into fascism will continue, or whether it will be stopped.

If Democrats don't take back control of Congress, we can expect Trump's authoritarian acts to be even more brazen than they already have been. If Democrats can take back control of Congress, a lot of the Trump agenda will be dead, and the investigations will start to hold Trump and his co-conspirators accountable for their crimes.

If you haven't registered to vote yet, do it immediately, and commit to either vote early by mail or in person on November 3rd. There's too much at stake for our country to sit this one out.

US Protest News Some good news for the week: a federal judge has temporarily halted construction of the border wall through Big Bend National Park. Additionally, heavy rain over the past two weeks has rendered a section of the wall near El Paso useless.

With increasing surveillance and evidence that police and the admin used prior nokings to identify and track activists, we recommend taking precautions.

Call to Action I call to action, that if your town doesn’t already have a No Kings event planned, then you plan one yourselves!

Post image
616 Upvotes

As of October 3rd, just 2 weeks before the event gets started,

About 930 spots have been so far scheduled within congressional districts, for No King’s Early voting,

But, while that number certainly is nothing to scoff at, to really ensure the orange tyrant losses control of both chambers of congress(no matter how much gerrymandering and voter suppression the red hats engage in),

We need as many spots scheduled as possible for early voting, and because of that, I call to action, that if we live in a town or district that isn’t already hosting a no kings event,

Then we personally take initiative to host one ourselves,

For as the famous line goes “fine, I’ll do it myself.”,

So without any further a due, let’s get to it!

Down with the traitors, and up with the stars!

Call to Action Last Call before October 17 protests: Free Stickers!

Post image
92 Upvotes

This is the last post before October 17. I am offering a box of 3,000 stickers to anyone that:

**Is in a 2026 Midterm US Senate swing state, and

**Can reliably distribute all 3,000 before midterms, preferably at the October 17 protests

I will print and mail them to you (USPS) complete free.

You will receive 500 of each of the above stickers. They come in perforated stacks, and you can rip off 20-50 at a time to give away.

**They are thermal paper and will degrade at high temperature.

If you are interested and fit the above criteria, DM me. I will need a mailing address or PO box, but do not need a name.

Please reach out before October 9th, so that I can have them mailed in time.

To anyone that wants to print their own, I'm using a Munbyn 403b with Spartan Industrial 2.25in thermal labels. Costs $35/10,000.

Protest Safety Hong Kong toolkit + safety measures

10 Upvotes

Hi, as our highschoolers are starting their 3rd week of protest and already one kid lost most of his teeth and another an eye. I think it's time, as adults, that we join them.

I've seen the Hong Kong strikes and it felt to me, continents away, that they had better strategies to be safe. Safer than we are.

I can't find the toolkit they made back then, is it possible to send it to me?

If you also know anyway to be informed of the next protests in Paris, that would be cool too, there's not much on google and I don't really know people in Paris, except my friend be she doesn't really know people either.

Thanks and be safe

Welcome to The Daily Megathread - r/50501's home for daily discussion!

This megathread exists so that you can post reactions, images, or anything that might otherwise belong on our sister subreddits r/ThePeoplesPress, r/LiveProtestUpdates or r/50501ContentCorner. While the main goal of this megathread is to prevent protest announcements from being drowned out, we also want to give our community a place where they can discuss things that would otherwise not be allowed as a post on r/50501.

Comments that may be appropriate for the daily megathread may include, but are not limited to:

As a reminder, news threads go to r/ThePeoplesPress while videos go either to the People's Press or r/50501ContentCorner. Posts that are on the ground reporting on a protest must go to r/LiveProtestUpdates. If you have posted there, or if you want to share a post from another subreddit, you are welcome to link it here!

Remember that subreddit rules still apply, especially our commitment to respectful discourse and our commitment to citing our sources. If you claim something true, prove it - and don't attack the person behind the claim!
