It’s easier to take action when you’re part of a group. Go to an event, find a meeting, sign up for a newsletter, get connected with other people who care about the same things you do.
We hope you find a place to get connected with FRC. Get to know our coalition partners below.
This group is a non-partisan coalition of veterans committed to strategizing, mobilizing, and taking action on critical issues affecting our community and beyond.
United by our shared oath to the Constitution, we harness our unique skills and leadership experience to drive meaningful change.
As supporters of the 50501 Movement, we stand firmly for nonviolence and for fostering thoughtful discussion, action-oriented planning, and collaboration on initiatives that uplift veterans, advocate for key causes, and shape policy.
Whether organizing events, supporting advocacy efforts, or building a strong network, we empower veterans to continue serving in a new and impactful way.
We are 50501 VETS.
50501 | NC is the North Carolina chapter of a decentralized, people-powered movement born out of urgency, not hierarchy. We’re students, workers, organizers, and everyday people refusing to wait for politicians or parties to fix what we know is broken. What began as a Reddit post in January 2025 has erupted into one of the largest grassroots protest networks in modern U.S. history—mobilizing millions in the fight for democracy, dignity, and shared power.
We're not here to recreate the past. We’re building something new. 50501 is decentralized by design. That means the power lives with you. Our protests are coordinated through networks of mutual aid, Signal chats, and open-source organizing. From the “Hands Off” actions to the national May Day strike, we’ve shown what’s possible when ordinary people decide to reclaim the streets—and their future.
We are 50501NC.

We empower veterans to stand up for our communities against the rising tide of racism, hate, and violence, to organize against the entrenched power of greedy billionaires who have rigged our economy, and to champion an equitable and representative democracy, where “liberty and justice” truly is for all.
We achieve this through:
Training veterans as grassroots organizers
Growing, organizing, and mobilizing the progressive veteran community
Advocating for progressive legislation at the local, state, and federal level
Mobilizing our 200,000 members to support candidates who share our values
Common Defense is the country’s largest veteran-led grassroots organization committed to engaging, organizing, training and mobilizing veterans to elect accountable leaders and promote progressive values in 2020 and beyond.
We are COMMON DEFENSE.
Fayetteville PRIDE was started in 2017 as an interest meeting, in a local library, where a group of like-minded individuals came together to organize a Pride celebration. Soon after, we knew we were more than just party planners and the modern vision of Fayetteville PRIDE as a non-profit community driven organization was born. We fulfilled the first part of that vision by achieving our IRS 501c3 status in October 2017, just six months after the original Board of Directors formed the organization and wrote our official bylaws. The Board continued their hard work by planning community picnics and meetings, taking on community service projects, gathering LGBTQ* resources, building partnerships, and spreading education and awareness.
Although Fayetteville PRIDE is more than just a festival planning organization, the Pride Festival each year is our biggest fundraising and community event.
As Fayetteville PRIDE continues to grow, we envision ourselves as a community resource for all of those in Cumberland County, and we remain ever dedicated to our original mission.
We are Fayetteville PRIDE.
Named after a Weimar Republic organization that opposed the Nazis in the 1930s, Iron Front NC is a state branch of the American Iron Front (AIF) movement. We are a nonpartisan grassroots movement aimed at taking action within the state of North Carolina to remove the fascist insurgents who have taken over our government, disrupt their efforts to ruin the country, and prepare the people of North Carolina to weather the coming storm.
We are your neighbors, your friends, and your compatriots.
We are the Iron Front.
