🚨 Florida Protesters: Stay Safe & Secure 🚨

We’ve received reports that a counter-protest group is planning to show up at the Orlando protest to escalate tensions and create division. 50501 is a peaceful movement—we do not engage with counter-protesters, and we do not let them dictate our actions.

1️⃣ Safety Precautions for Florida Protesters

✅ Stay Nonviolent – Do not engage with agitators. Their goal is to provoke; we will not give them what they want. ✅ Avoid Confrontation – If approached, stay calm, do not respond, and move as a group. ✅ No Property Damage – We are here to send a message, not create destruction. ✅ Film Everything – If you feel unsafe, record interactions for documentation. ✅ Stay in Contact – Use secure communication (like Signal) to check in with fellow protesters. ✅ De-Escalate – If tensions rise, step away. Our presence alone is powerful—we don’t need to fight to make an impact.

The best way to shut down their message is to not play into it. Let’s keep this movement peaceful, powerful, and focused on the real issues.

2️⃣ We Have Dedicated Media Spokespersons

📢 If media approaches you, direct them to our designated media representatives. 🔹 Each state protest has an assigned spokesperson to ensure our message is clear, consistent, and accurate. 🔹 You do not have to identify yourself to the media. If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable speaking, refer them to our official reps. 🔹 Stay on message – we are peaceful, decentralized, and committed to defending democracy.

3️⃣ Protect Yourself from Surveillance & Infiltration

🔹 Assume everything at a protest is being recorded – including by law enforcement and bad actors. 🔹 Cover identifiable tattoos, remove anything that could track you, and consider wearing masks or face coverings. 🔹 Avoid being filmed or photographed without consent. If someone records you without permission, calmly ask them to stop. 🔹 If using a phone, disable biometric unlock (face ID, fingerprint) before arriving.

4️⃣ Signal Is Secure, But Be Cautious

🔹 Signal is one of the safest communication tools, but nothing is foolproof. Assume all communication could be monitored. 🔹 Use disappearing messages and avoid sharing sensitive protest logistics in public channels. 🔹 Don’t click unknown links – phishing attempts are real.

5️⃣ Social Media Security Issues

🔹 Reddit invites have caused issues with infiltration attempts—invite access must be carefully managed. 🔹 Be wary of bad actors, Russian bots, and organized misinformation campaigns. 🔹 If you see false narratives, do not engage—report and redirect to factual movement updates.

6️⃣ Final Reminders for Protesters

✅ Stay nonviolent – agitators want to discredit us; don’t let them. ✅ No property damage – we win with our message, not destruction. ✅ Stay informed, stay connected, and trust verified sources.

📢 Florida, stay smart, stay safe, and keep pushing forward. We’re here for change, not distractions. ✊
