A couple and their children sent 750,000 stickers to more than 1,000 people in all 50 states.

They bought a $ 100 thermal label printer, created a QR code linking to Realtime Fascism , and began making stickers.

Stick It to Fascists is one of countless grassroots efforts that have emerged since Trump took office a second time.

A single Reddit post called 50501 was created on January 25 calling for protests against President Trump .

The idea took hold, and within 10 days , the group organized protests in 80 cities across the US .

The number and scale of protests has grown significantly, with millions of people turning out at more than a thousand separate protests in all 50 states on April 5 .

The 50501 movement is not the only grassroots effort that began life online.

The Tesla Takedown protests began with a single Bluesky post that exploded in large part thanks to social media posts.

Veteran activists say success this time around will rely on turning that online support and activity into real-world demonstrations.
