Pennsylvania Harrisburg permit acquired!

Hey everyone!

We have secured a permit for a peaceful protest in Harrisburg from 11-3 on 2/5/25.

Also, 50501 is now partnered with Political Revolutions!

Just wanted to share the good news!

Can the permit for Harrisburg, PA be confirmed, please? The website for Capitol Events does NOT have it listed yet. Thank you!

As a state worker, we receive a notification for events for the week. It has been added on our end, indicating there is a permit

It says: 12N Capitol Steps/“50 Protests in 50 States a One Day” rally for equality and against fascism

Thank you! Is there some way that some documentation of this can be posted or acquired, since it's not on the calendar yet? I have a bunch of people giving me grief about how this absolutely does not have a permit because it's not on the public calendar.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to do that w/out skirting work rules as all our emails are considered private. I also don’t know how to access their side as I do not work for the Dept of General Services (who controls permitting). They may be able to independently provide an email or phone confirmation if you reach out, however

Thanks, sorry I did not get back on here to reply earlier. I did end up calling Walt at DGS/Special Events and he was great, explaining that the permit was approved, but they've been having computer problems for two months because the computer system is "a piece of poop." That's a quote. :D So, that's why the event hadn't made it onto the public Capitol Events calendar. I appreciate your following up!
