Protest trackers?

February 8, 2025 11:11 AM

Does anybody have a website that's tracking current and upcoming protests in the USA (or regarding the US government)? I've seen some news articles which mention hashtags, but I'd prefer an overview page that I can link to.

I just don't think there are big billboards/websites advertising actions right now; people are too scared of retaliation, or coordination from the fascists. The revolution will not be televised.

Probably Reddit. 50501 subreddit?

As mentioned, it's bad strategy and opsec to broadcast them in advance. Join Signal, and link up with other activists in your city. There are a few group chats for various causes and they will post about actions/protests. If you don't know anyone, look into organizations: DSA, Food Not Bombs, local labor and tenant unions, immigrant's rights groups, queer and reproductive health groups, etc. Look for orgs that seem radical and grassroots (rather than standard feel good non-profits) because they are more likely to be mobilizing right now.

ACLED has this data, as does crowdcounting. I think that’s what it’s called, Ulfelder and Chenoweth are responsible for the latter.

I would reach out to my local political party branch. There's almost always someone in there that knows what's happening, at what time, and where.

Best answer: 50501 has a website now. Also, folks might be interested in this Protesters Link Compilation.
