Welcome to 50501 Pittsburgh

50501 Pittsburgh is a growing network of concerned citizens and volunteers—we care about truth, accountability, and protecting democratic norms.

We organize. We show up. We push back.

If you’re alarmed by the rise of fascist movements, book bans, voter suppression, political violence, and power grabs disguised as patriotism, you’re not alone. 50501 is your home base for local resistance.

You do not need a giant banner to take part. Just showing up with a protest sign and standing with the group is a powerful way to show support to the cars passing by.

Past Actions

What We Do

Mobilize Rapid Response Actions

Rallies, marches, and public shows of resistance to protect civil liberties and push back on extremist overreach.

Support Local Organizing

We amplify the work of existing grassroots and community-led groups in Pittsburgh and beyond.

Host a Community Calendar

Find or list local actions, teach-ins, town halls, and mutual aid efforts. If it strengthens democracy or weakens fascism, it belongs here.

Coordinate with National Networks

We’re in the process of affiliating with Indivisible to access tools, training, and legal infrastructure—while keeping our work locally grounded.
