Fact check: Which political candidates or causes has organization 50501 supported in recent years?

1. Summary of the results

Organization 50501 is primarily a left-wing protest movement that has:

• Consistently opposed Donald Trump and his administration ^[1]
• Organized nationwide protests across 50 states, including specific demonstrations on February 5, February 17, March 4, and April 5, 2025 ^[2]
• Partnered with several progressive organizations including Political Revolution (originally a Bernie Sanders support group), No Voice Unheard, Voices of Florida, and Build the Resistance ^{[1] [2]}
• Supported various progressive causes including DEI policies, transgender rights, and Palestinian nationalism ^[1]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several crucial pieces of context are missing from the original question:

• Financial backing: While the organization presents itself as a grassroots movement, it has received over $500 million in funding between 2016-2023 from billionaire donors including George Soros, Hansjorg Wyss, and the Arabella network ^[3]
• Scale of operations: The movement claims to have organized protests in 1,200 locations with approximately 5.2 million participants on April 5, 2025 alone ^[4]
• Origins: The movement started on Reddit and uses specific hashtags like #buildtheresistance and #50501 ^[4]
• Current focus: Beyond Trump, the movement specifically targets Elon Musk's "unelected role and access to confidential data" ^[4]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The question itself is neutral, but several potential biases emerge from the analyses:

• The organization claims to be nonpartisan ^[1], but their activities and partnerships consistently align with progressive/left-wing causes
• They present themselves as fighting against "Trump and his billionaire profiteers" while being funded by billionaires themselves ^[3]
• The movement's claimed participation numbers (5.2 million participants) cannot be independently verified from these sources ^[4]

Those who benefit from this narrative include:

• Progressive political organizations and PACs who receive funding and support
• The billionaire donors who gain political influence while remaining relatively hidden from public view
• The movement's leadership who can maintain the appearance of a grassroots organization while receiving substantial institutional funding
