50501 Colorado Springs

We would love for you to join us to show support for our LGBTQIA neighbors! Please join us to march in the COS Pride Parade! Please keep signs family friendly and focused on Pride, we want to keep the focus on Pride! We will have flags and some signs!

50501 is looking for volunteers to help us get messaging out about upcoming events, important calls to action, and information! We know that with changing algorithms and AI we need to amp up our social media presence to keep getting the word out. We also are making a point to not use AI, so we need artists and writers!!
So please come to the meeting tomorrow night! Artists, photographers, videographers, writers, and people that are comfortable using social media platforms. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Today, Colorado needs your help. Join us in contacting Gov. Polis to urge him to sign SB26-005. This bill is a real pathway to hold ICE agents accountable and help Coloradans recover after constitutional violations during immigration enforcement. Use bit.ly/SIGNSB5 to sign a community letter to Polis, and use bit.ly/signbills to send an email to polis.

Welcome to new week of resistance! Join us in preparing to vote by researching candidates, protesting on the pedestrian bridge, and learning how you can make an impact through social media!

So, when's the next event? Our next major event is June 27th, a celebration of 250 years of progress, culture and people power! We're looking forward to highlighting how the melting pot of cultures has shaped our nation, and where we go from there. We'll have more information soon as to where, when and what the event will look like!

Chances are, you saw the articles mentioning a "No Kings" protest on June 14th. It's a bit misleading because we're not actually protesting that day. The No Kings coalition is hosting a concert for the first amendment, and is asking for groups to do watch parties! We're also working on details for that, but we'll post as soon as we get it!

Bad situation unfolding right now at Delaney Hall. ICE is beating and gassing the detainees as a reproach to the hunger strike. Multiple serious injuries inside and outside the facility.

Let's make sure to give JD Vance a warm welcome. Join AboutFace at 7 am outside the south gate to protest the Iran war, his irresponsible enabling and his disrespect towards our service members. (We're not protesting the actual graduation, we're more than proud of the students who have put up with the major changes in education this year, and especially proud that they've made it here!)
