"In the world of #Palestinian activism, the plight of autistic people is often overlooked...Speaking about the plight of our #autistic friends and family members can loosen the clutches ever so slightly. In a world where Palestinians are constantly and aggressively silenced, these #voices [also] need to be heard."

We must limit executive overreach.
# URGENT: CALL TO ACTION
The current administration has made it clear: profits over people. We refuse to stand by while they dismantle our rights, our communities, and our #future.
We are not just numbers. We are not just #consumers. We are the #People.
We reject #fascism. We reject the #oligarchy. We reject any system that places #profit, #power, or #privilege over human #dignity.
50501 is not just a movement—it’s a national call for justice that’s already making waves. On February 5th, thousands of you showed up, proving that when we rise together, we are unstoppable.
Now, we need you again.
***This is our next moment. Our next stand. Our next show of strength.***
On February 17th, we unite nationwide for a Day of #Action.
A day to #resist. A day to #disrupt. A day to #reclaim our power.
We are asking YOU to take 5 Steps of #Resistance:
1. SHOW UP: Attend or #organize a #protest in your city. Make our #voices impossible to ignore.
2. STRATEGIZE: Meet with local #organizers. Strengthen our #movement from the ground up.
3. FLOOD THE SYSTEM: Call, #email, and write to your representatives—demand action and #accountability.
4. AMPLIFY: Bring at least one new person into the movement. Grow our force.
5. PROTECT YOUR POWER: Take a moment of self-care. Your joy, your rest, and your #resilience are acts of #defiance.
** Mark your calendar. Spread the word. Be ready.**
FEBRUARY 17 – WE RISE TOGETHER.
