Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists

https://fiftyfifty.one is from r/50501 on reddit.
Of course, everything has risk, but I don't personally find that group to be problematic.
Respectfully, your comment continues to say nothing about who is behind it and where the money comes from... WHAT group of people don't you find to be problematic, and based on what? Who are the people that you don't have a problem with?
You just linked a subreddit... on Lemmy?
50501 successfully organized the 50 state capitol protests the other day, and those got at least some news coverage. That was a good thing. If attending an event is unsuitable for you, there are other ways to resist. Me, I'm certainly already on more than one list, so being associated with a protest doesn't change anything.
By comparison, I did some looking into a group called "American Opposition," and my feeling about that is that it's one small potatoes movie and TV actor trying to pull some sort of hustle.
In any event, I don't believe you have to identify yourself to show up at a protest.
