Cincinnati RISES

50501 Cincy is now Cincinnati RISES. Our name may have changed but our values and goals remain the same.

The 50501 Movement was born on February 5, 2025, as a decentralized rapid response to the anti-democratic (anti-American), illegal, and overreaching actions of the Trump administration and its allies. The idea (50 protests in 50 states, all happening on 1 day) was shared on Reddit and spread rapidly on social media. In just days, regular people pulled off over 80 peaceful protests in all 50 states: With no budget, no centralized structure, no leadership team, no official backing, no permission. Since then, the coalition has grown, along with the number of protests. The numbers have grown, ultimately culminating in the largest single- day protest in US history. 50501 has mobilized millions of people and brought together a growing network of organizations - and developed a huge number of organizers who have stepped up to stand up, raise their voices, and push back against the consolidation of power that is hurting (and in some cases, killing) our friends and neighbors.

50501 Cincy was created and participated in that first protest way back in February 2025 and has grown steadily since then. But what you may not know is that all 50501 chapters are their own individual entities. There is no power structure, no hierarchy.

So to avoid confusion: We are rebranding. 50501 Cincy will now be known as Cincinnati RISES. If you need to contact us, you can reach out via the same methods as always until further notice. We are transitioning to new email and social accounts reflecting the RISES branding but will retain access to our current accounts for the foreseeable future; we only ask that you allow some grace as we transition everything over.

The organizers you know and love are still here and are still focusing our energy on all of the same things. We’re still going to show up as good partners to other organizations.

When the call comes to take to the streets again, we will be there...and we hope you will be too.

Join us for a protest against ICE and in support of Latino ballplayers and all immigrants near the Great American ballpark on Sunday May 31 at 12:30pm, for one hour before game time.

As ICE threatens all immigrants, even the privileged aren’t safe. Professional Latino ballplayers are facing threats from excessive immigration enforcement too.

Come show your solidarity not just with our local ballplayers who are immigrants, but with all immigrants who are being persecuted.

We will congregate on Second St. near Joe Nuxhall Way at 12:30pm. The location has been coordinated with the police.

Please bring your friends, signs, whistles and drums.

There will be additional protests at Sunday home games throughout the season.

For additional information please contact Rabbi Jonathan Perlman, [email protected]

Any books left over from the festival will be used to help restock little libraries around Cincinnati.
