"A 50501 subreddit remains an active organizing space, where people discuss ideas for local protests, messages they should put on posters, strategies for getting more people involved. The movement is active on nearly all social media channels, and local offshoots have their own pages as well.

The group is planning its next day of mass protest on 1 May, which will be focused on workers’ rights and immigrant rights. 50501 is far from the only group organizing around May Day, a frequent day of action for labor groups around the world."

Bingo! This article is disinformation. It’s a group coming out of the Dems, trying to redirect activists into supporting NATO/Israel.

50501 heads have been calling the police on activists, doxing people for questioning their party connections, and harassing trans people at the events. They’ve been around, what? A couple months? Already a flood of controversies coming. Which is expected, considering the source. But this is why they had Pelosi as a speaker at an event, along with other fascists. For some reason, the Colorado branch is purported to be particularly toxic.
