I did two related things today. I made a donation to the Vermont chapter of 50501 and signed on to their email list. 50501 is a brand-new national organization that’s been promoting days of protest against the Trump regime, starting with April 5 and continuing with April 19, with much more in the pipeline.

The Vermont chapter seems to consist of a handful of volunteers, and they’re having an impact far greater than their numbers. As of this writing, they’re more than halfway to their starter goal of $20,000. Chip in if you can, but definitely sign up for email updates.

The next national day of protest is May Day, Thursday, May 1. So far it looks like a lot of the gatherings will be in the late afternoon because weekday. Some protests are aiming for Sunday, May 4 because “Star Wars Day” seems like a great time to strike back at the Evil Empire. Many rallies are being announced close to the last minute, so keep informed and come on out.
