By Matt Alley — Blue Collar writer: As someone deeply committed to labor rights, civil rights, and democracy itself, I know we’re at a critical moment. The attacks on unions, voting rights, and the very foundations of democracy aren’t slowing down—they’re escalating. The 50501 Movement is a powerful, grassroots effort fighting back, and we need bodies in the streets to make our voices heard.

Join the People’s Veto Day on April 5th

On Saturday, April 5th, people across the country are mobilizing for People’s Veto Day, a nationwide day of action against authoritarian overreach. The stakes couldn’t be higher. If you can attend a local event, show up—because history has proven that mass mobilization works.

This Is a Peaceful Movement, But We Will Not Be Silent

The 50501 Movement is firmly nonviolent, but we won’t stand by quietly while labor rights, civil rights, and democracy are dismantled. This is about our future, our communities, and our fundamental freedoms.
