📢 Important Update: A New Chapter for Our Movement 📢

Friends,

Over the past months we’ve grown, reflected, and listened. To better represent who we are, where we’re going, and the community we serve, 50501 WI is divesting from 50501 and becoming Wisconsin Resist.

THREAD. This week, I'm doing Copaganda events in Minneapolis, Madison, and Milwaukee about the role of elite institutions--media, Democrats, universities, nonprofits--in the great problems of our time. And what we can do about it together.

This change is more than cosmetic—Wisconsin Resist captures our purpose more directly.

Wisconsin Resist is a grassroots movement that organizes and mobilizes people in Wisconsin to practice mutual aid and direct action to fight all forms of oppression, including fascism.

This movement is about accountability. No company, no party, no politician is safe from this.

Those who have taken actions at the expense of basic human dignity can expect to be cited.

Welcome to the People’s American Revolution.

We’re in charge, the People.

This is a peaceful movement. Organizers have worked hard to ensure this.

Anyone who is an aggressor is not one of us.

Today honors those who lost their life defending the ideals of democracy, the Constitution, and the People.

It is a solemn reminder of their sacrifice, the value of courage, and to never take our freedoms for granted.

Menomonee Falls, rated among the top ten safest communities in Wisconsin, is planning on reallocating $300,000 from its library to its police department.

Because Menomonee Falls is just that rampant with crime, right? Who needs a library?

Oppression has always depended on individual people giving up their free will to authority, until it’s eventually everyone.

Hold the line.
