The 50501 Movement, a decentralized grassroots activist group, has announced plans for a nationwide protest on February 17, 2025. The movement, which initially emerged in response to actions taken by the Trump administration, aims to organize demonstrations in all 50 states on the same day. The group describes itself as a volunteer-led effort to uphold constitutional principles and challenge what it views as executive overreach. However, despite their commitment to “nonviolence”, their LinkTree includes links to questionable material, including instructions for committing arson.

The organization first gained traction on February 5, 2024, when it coordinated protests across all 50 states. The event was widely covered by major media outlets, with organizers emphasizing the absence of centralized leadership or external funding. The movement’s social media presence has expanded through platforms like Reddit, Instagram, Bluesky, and Facebook, where it shares information and resources for protesters.
The group provides a LinkTree, maintained by a user under the name “Alice Roberts” on the social platform Bluesky, containing protest-related materials, including safety guides from organizations like the ACLU, as well as information on resisting government surveillance and other activist strategies. While 50501 explicitly states that it does not tolerate violence, the LinkTree also includes a link to the “Simple Sabotage Field Manual,” a 1944 document originally published by the Office of Strategic Services. The manual outlines non-violent forms of disruption, such as workplace inefficiencies and passive resistance techniques, but also contains tips for more serious sabotage, such as the most effective methods of setting buildings on fire.

The 50501 Movement claims partnerships with organizations such as NoVoiceUnheard, a protester information hub, and Political Revolution, a progressive political action committee. As the February 17 protests approach, authorities and observers will likely closely monitor the group’s activities and messaging.
