Fact check: How much money has political organization 50501 raised in recent election cycles?

1. Summary of the results

The question about fundraising cannot be answered because 50501 is not actually a formal political organization that can raise funds. Multiple sources confirm it is instead a decentralized, grassroots movement without any formal structure or legal status to accept donations ^[1]. The movement operates primarily through social media coordination ^[2] and has been notably active in protests against the Trump administration in 2025 ^[2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question misses several crucial contextual points:

• 50501 is a grassroots protest movement, not a registered political organization ^{[1] [2]}
• The movement has no formal structure or 501(c)3/501(c)4 status that would allow it to legally collect donations ^[1]
• While FEC data exists for tracking political donations in general ^[3], this movement operates outside traditional political funding structures

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The question itself contains an inherent misconception that could lead to several forms of misinformation:

• It incorrectly assumes 50501 is a formal political organization capable of fundraising
• This assumption could benefit those trying to delegitimize the movement by suggesting it has formal backing or funding
• The focus on fundraising might distract from the movement's actual nature as a decentralized protest group ^[2]
• Traditional political organizations might benefit from portraying grassroots movements as formally funded entities, as it fits within their familiar framework of political operation

The FEC's campaign finance tracking system ^{[3] [4]} would not capture any informal support or resources shared within such a grassroots movement, making traditional fundraising metrics irrelevant for understanding this type of organization.
