Local residents are planning a May Day Strong demonstration from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, May 1 at the intersection of 56th Avenue West and 236th Street Southwest in Mountlake Terrace — part of the nationwide 50501 movement.
This is the latest of several 50501 demonstration hosted locally in recent weeks, with previous events occuring in Edmonds and Lynnwood. Originally an abbreviation of “50 protests, 50 states, one day,” 50501 is a political action organization formed to protest the policies and actions of the second Donald Trump administration.
I’ve participated in every protest on and off island, including Saturday Tesla Takedowns. I live on Whidbey Island so looking for events north of Seattle. Please keep me posted when any activities are planned. I’m engaged to take down this regime.
Why don’t we put as much energy into our local politics? While citizens of this state are focused on two men on the other side of the country because they don’t like them our state “representatives” are fleecing us into poverty right now! 13 New and increased taxes that will have immediate effect on our lives. Not possibly in the future not maybe. Now!
“two men on the other side of the country” are actually multiple men who are supposedly running this country. This has liitle to do with “not liking them” and everything they are doing to tear down democracy, gut the SSA, Medicaid, Medicare, the VA, the National Parks…
You wrote this a little over 3 hours ago. Where have you been since Jan 21??
Everything the orange man and his cabinet and his cronies have been doing have an immediate effect, if not on your life, on that of your neighbors.
Not “possibly in the future” not “maybe”. Now!
