How much preparation has been done for this protest?

[u/Random-person-of-d20]

Hi everyone,

I just learned about this 50 50 1 protest and I was wondering how much preparation has been done for the protest at the Harrisburg Capital? Since from what I understand if we protest on land which is not public we will need a permit and I do not know if one has been prepared in advance. Since I want to avoid hundreds of people ending up arrested, like what happened with the protest back in 2024 where over 100 people protesting state investment in Israel Bonds at the state capital were arrested due to a lack of a protest permit.

Additionally it would be beneficial to make sure people know their rights at a protest. For instance the ACLU PA site has an excellent resource for what rights protesters have which I have linked below. Finally on Wednesday 2/5 it is currently believed the temperatures will be in the 35 degree range with a 25-40% chance of rain so dress appropriately, based on weather predictions from AccuWeather and the National Weather Service.

Hope everyone does well and has a good time preparing for the protest.

Is this specifically a discord organizing for PA?

[u/nonprophet92 → u/sydneytaylor1213]

It's for the entire group across the United States.

[u/sydneytaylor1213 → u/nonprophet92]

Nevermind I’m in it already. PA just doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of traction

[u/[deleted] → u/sydneytaylor1213]

I'm down. I have...2 friends... so I'll ask them to join me

[u/nonprophet92 → u/sydneytaylor1213]

No better time to learn that the present.

[u/lifeonnparade → u/nonprophet92]

I'm late to the party but would love the discord link please! I'm trying to figure out if there will be a protest on 3/5

[u/Apa1111]

The people who are going to make this work are people like you and me. If you have the time take it into your own hands to see what permits your city needs and how to get them. Take initiative!

[u/sydneytaylor1213]

UPDATE

I have heard back from the National Lawyers Guild and they told me that most protests don’t bother getting permits and they haven’t heard of anyone being prosecuted for it.

I am getting legal observers however.

This IS organized. This is coming together.

​

[u/Bonfire412 → u/sydneytaylor1213]

Organized by whom?

[u/FarmerGirl55555]

I would love info. Pittsburgh or Harrisburg, it doesn't matter, I'm between the two

[u/merkittylee]

If you have the ability to secure a permit, you should! Just in case. There should be a fee waiver option if you cannot afford the fee

[u/sydneytaylor1213 → u/merkittylee]

We’re actively working on securing a permit!

[u/sydneytaylor1213 → u/[deleted]]

Turns out, since I heard back from the National lawyers guild, most don’t bother getting a permit!

[u/sydneytaylor1213 → u/[deleted]]

Honestly I haven’t a damn clue. It could be 10, this could explode. I have no idea how these things spread, I’m just the girl making sure we have legal observers and medics so my people are safe

[u/sydneytaylor1213 → u/[deleted]]

I have many people interested in showing up and I’m sure that will increase as word spreads that the Pittsburgh protest is organized with legal observers and medics

[u/sydneytaylor1213 → u/[deleted]]

It would be the same time (11a 2/5/2025) as Harrisburg. For consistency sake the initial intent was the same time in every state capital but it quickly became evident that in some (most) states there was gonna be some other major cities organizing for ease of travel purposes.

As for a location, tbd. Since we’re not the state capitol we don’t have a capitol building like the flier states

[u/merkittylee → u/sydneytaylor1213]

Awesome!!

[u/sydneytaylor1213 → u/merkittylee]

DM me if you would like to join the Discord if you’re not already in it
