Me too! With the global tariffs, I expect there to be street protests against Trump to attend in basically every country worldwide this spring and summer.

Each group was started for a specific reason so no, they will stay seperate to try to achieve their specific aims. I think its best to remember that orgs are just made up of people trying their best. Most people involved with one of those orgs are involved with many, and having many isn't a distraction, it's tactical to fight on different playing fields.

Indivisible and 50501 are a little different since they were created to plan protests specifically, so they are kinda like a glue that gets all these interest groups to show up on the exact same day.

Yesterday's protests were organized through many groups working together. 50501 was one of them, as were MoveOn, labor unions like SEIU, Sunrise, DSA, OurRevolution, the Women's March, and many others.

"Hand's Off" was the branding chosen for the day of protest by Indivisible, another large activist group. https://handsoff2025.com/about-1

This sounds great. If you end up writing something for the other commenter using a Linux server and the Messenger bridge I would love to hear if there were any pitfalls to avoid!
