Online Voter Registration Training led by local Get-Out-the-Vote expert Pauline Goodman.
ICE RAPID RESPONSE TRAINING
Friday, February 6 at 1pm
This training was educational and focused on preparedness and lawful observation. Participants learned about their rights, how to safely and legally document immigration enforcement activity if they encounter it during their daily routines, and how to connect with a community response network that supports hotline-based information sharing.
This training was intended for participants in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham counties, and nearby communities.
On Saturday, September 13, and Saturday, October 4, 50501 Savannah held a voter registration drive. Attendees met at The Sentient Bean for directions and then went out in pairs to Forsyth Park Farmer's Market where they assisted people in checking their voter registration or providing information about voter registration.
On Thursday, October 2, 50501 Savannah joined Aidan Wise on Zoom to learn about the state of reproductive freedom in the US since the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson. Aidan spent the summer of 2025 as an intern with Men4Choice.
Over ten weeks, 50501 Savannah interviewed five candidates who were running to represent Georgia's 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. We chose these five candidates because they aligned with 50501 Savannah's mission to uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach. Each candidate answered the same question within a five-minute time limit. Their responses were shared on our website, social media, and YouTube channel. (More candidates entered the race after this series was over.)
Thank you to Coastal Georgia for Democracy and Migrant Equity Southeast for working with us on this meaningful Labor Day Event.

Folkston ICE Processing Center Zoom
The for-profit Geo Group (big Trump donor) operates the Folkston ICE Detention Facility in Folkston, Georgia. Currently it has about 1,000 beds, but the government has approved a $47 million expansion to make Folkston ICE Detention Facility the nation's largest ICE detention facility with over 3,000 beds. Making profit for its owners, who contribute to trump and his PAC, while people suffer. With the expansion now approved by the federal government, it's more important than ever that we all act on the call to resist.
See our Folkston Ice Processing Center page which includes many links, videos, information on what you can do, the slideshow and the text of the Zoom.
