DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—A Pittsburgh government agency is promoting an upcoming class by local leftist groups on “civil disobedience” from its social media accounts.
The city’s Commission on Human Relations reposted a joint announcement on Saturday advertising the event by the Pittsburgh chapters of Democratic Socialists of America and the 50501 Movement on Instagram and X.
The three-hour Tuesday evening talk will feature an unnamed “practitioner and trainer with extensive experience” and civil rights lawyer Mike Healey, according to the posts.
The session marks part two of a “Rebirthing Civil Disobedience” series hosted by the DSA and 50501 Pittsburgh, both taking place at the nonprofit Community Forge.
Neither the organizations nor Healey responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
“This session will offer tactical training in the art of civil disobedience, grounded in real-world experience and historical context,” the DSA wrote in its own announcement on Facebook.
“Whether you are new to this work or looking to deepen your skills, this training is designed to help you grow more confident, effective, and prepared.”
The Commission on Human Relations’ website calls the commission a “civil rights law enforcement agency focused on investigating instances of discrimination, providing outreach and education to communities about their rights, and recommending necessary protections in the City Code to provide all people in Pittsburgh with equal opportunities.”
“Our goal is to decrease unfair treatment and discrimination by promoting justice and understanding among communities in the City of Pittsburgh,” the website reads.
An announcement of Tuesday’s talk on 50501 Pittsburgh’s website says it will be livestreamed on YouTube, but assures in bold type that “no audience members will be shown on video.”
“Build your civil disobedience muscle,” the post says.
The 50501 Movement formed in 2025 to protest the second Trump administration and calls itself a “peaceful movement” on its website.

WOW !!! Organizations that are promoting Civil War in the nation. I view this as open TREASON against our nation.
Yep. Let’s just vote all the Democrats in on the mid terms and let them totally wreck our nation. Wake up people. Do you want this. Your all idiots if you do.
“Our goal is to decrease unfair treatment and discrimination by promoting justice and understanding among the communities in the city of Pittsburgh.” What a load of manure.
Well isn’t this a revelation of what is going on in America today. Freedom isn’t enough tyranny is being added. Tyranny in the sense that this group will dictate what and how we should behave. No thoughts other than theirs. No opposing points of view. This is an insurgency to overthrow the government. They don’t even understand the freedoms we have in this country. They have forgotten the preamble to the constitution. This is a republic of the people by the people and for the people. Not for dictators, communists or globalists. Like Osama bin Laden said America will destroy itself from within and we are vastly approaching that goal. Beware people. We have been warning you for years this was coming. Outrage should be sweeping this country. There are evil forces afoot that see an opportunity to destroy this country once and for all. Started with Obama and his hatred for America.
Art Of Civil Disobedience
Art Of Violating The Law
New language – it makes it hard for leaders to discern that anything is wrong about it.
This is happening because of deceitful and aggressive people or because of ignorant passive leadership. BOTH Perfect storm
This totally unacceptable on any level! It’s really about creating chaos in our culture to overturn & destroy our country! This is what the Global Cabal has planned, destroy America by creating division!
I’m so sick of the Democratic Party wanting to wage war on the American people! They want to act as though the invaders of our country have rights when they don’t! They are not illegal immigrants, they are invaders that the Socialist Democratic Party allowed to walk into our country, they should be deported immediately along with the Democratic Party! It is time for the war to begin, George Washington would not tolerate this any longer!!
These classes sound like the plotting of an insurrection.
Didn’t the entire country just get a lesson on this? The class should be titled “Don’t be Good!” Sponsored by the Minnesota dept of Learing. And sorry, this isn’t too soon. If anything, it’s coming too late as conservatives have remained too polite and quiet as radical socialist have taken over half the country.
With the democrats, pushing progressive attitudes, with boys are girls, girls are boys, men can get pregnant … why shouldn’t they be able to teach how to defend stupid ideas? I mean if colleges can give degree credit, for deep dives into Star Wars films … and give degrees for Development of Social Behaviors … why not teach how to thwart the law? In the clown world that is the world we are living in … it makes perfect sense.
What a gross and disgusting program and organization. This is total civil disobedience. Typical democrats who hate America.
I believe in “freedom of speech” and assembly; but when organizations like Dem Socialists of America advocate/train/pay for ‘civil disobedience’ to the point of breaking laws, those organizations should be held accountable as well as those who finance them. They are abusing those freedoms so should no longer have them — it’s called accountability.
do the words non-violent protest or peaceful appear in the in the announcement anywhere?
Is the training part of a nonprofit using our tax dollars with approval from a city agency against law & order?
This is crap and unconstitutional
If the ones doing the “civil disobedience” were freedom-loving Americans, these anuses would be singing a different story, wouldn’t they?
Coming to a liberal-run city near you!!! FREE riot gear if you bring a fellow triggered snowflake!!!!
Democrat socialists or communists? Potato v potato. TDS is a real disease and issue in America. These Democrats live to undermine anything and everything positive this administration puts in place. Siding with illegal invaders vs our citizen base is just another example of their misguided efforts.
If they are really going to protest unjust treatments, they should be protesting the illegals. They are being unjustly protected by the democrats and the left wingers.
Never seen so much anti American stuff happen until Obama became POTUS it’s been down hill for this nation ever since like it or not that’s the truth period
Whats at stake is whether or not MAGA policy will dismantle and reverse the imposition of Leftist WOKE of the Obama and Biden years. The expulsion of illegal immigrants is the keystone. Even if none ever unlawfully vote they still are counted in the Federal Census for apportionment of Federal funds and Congressional representation, and their offspring get automatic citizenship intended in the 19thCentury for native Americans and freed former enslaved African Americans. There is much to be undone and done.
That’s what the woman in Minneapolis was doing==she was taught at a similar program.
Sounds like withholding federal funds should be the first move against these communists!
This is crap a d unconstitutional
Needs to be SHUT DOWN!
I agree with others that this is completely wrong. But on the flip side, it may be a good way to find out who these creeps are and stop this nonsense if indeed, this is an in-person “training ground”.
Their entire premise is a lie. It is not ICE who are being unjust, it is the violent protesters.
They do not need instruction on how to disrupt our law enforcement which IS Constitutional, they need to be taught the Constitutional law that refers to this situation. The radical liberals and the evil persons who are funding these maniacs need to stop endangering themselves by rebelling against our law officers. Why are they not being arrested and thrown in jail?? Follow the money and arrest the funders. These people are doing their best to get more rioters hurt or killed so they can say ICE agents are murderers. The ICE agents need to get all of the ID and info of the worst offenders, then walk away and arrest them later. Yes, this is the beginning of another civil war and it is Evil against Good.
Welp. I’m in my 70s, and I never thought we would see citizens of the USA becoming this stupid/ignorant/brainless/foolhardy/stupid/stupid/stupid. Ever. This sort of BS, passing for education in ‘Murica nowadays, should have been stopped years ago.
Thanks, Barack. Thanks, Joe.
Pittsburgh has earned its name — the Pitts. How dare they advertise teaching anarchy and rebellion? These people should be prosecuted for treachery against the U.S. government. (Even at the height of the Civil Rights movement, no one was this brazen and out of line.
Treason punishable by death! Time to stop ignoring the thieving criminals in politics that allowed this crime against our nation!
I bet they are using our tax payer $$ as a non-profit organization. Some kind of punishment has to come down on the people who are for aiding and abetting criminals. And all this lawlessness.
The no good Democratic Party is waging war on America, the American people, Law enforcement, Ice, etc. this is why you have individuals shooting at law enforcement and attacking law enforcement, attacking innocent citizens! The Democratic Party needs to get what they are asking for, I can not stand to look at them!
I CALL IT SEDITION should be treated as such. ICE is treated as an enemy and these characters are paid traitors’
If you don’t want to obey federal laws that have been in effect for multiple decades, then you don’t get any federal funding. Period. I am disgusted at how far our society has fallen in the last few decades. City leaders support criminals, while ignoring the needs of their tax paying citizens. I blame not only the socialist Democrat party, but those we’ve entrusted to educate our children – schools used to help teach our children to think for themselves, to know the true history of our nation & the world – now they spend more time on indoctrination into hating everything this nation stands for, rather than true education. This is how North Korea, Iran, & other socialist, communist countries operate – the people aren’t educated – intelligent, free thinking people don’t fall for the lies & will struggle for freedom. – if the lies are repeated loudly enough, & long enough – uneducated people will believe they are now the truth. God help us turn this nation & the world back to You.
Perhaps the Citizens of Pittsburgh should practice their own civil disobedience by NOT paying taxes.
I would like to know if there are any misrepresentations in this presentation. Some outright dangerous lies were found in the “educational” materials distributed by the Minnesota ICE Watch.
What the fuck is wrong with these people!!!!!
I think 100 ICE officer should be attend to understand the training.
The goal of these Democrat–obviously–is undermining our Constitution and fomenting a communist rebellion.
imo
non-profits must be required to report their income and where the money comes from. Obviously, it was intentionally setup by congress to allow corruption and it must be changed. That was how the Clinton foundation got away with all its foreign money income – they didn’t need to report it. Friggen corrupt congress – it needs to change.
I read an earlier post on this Communist class that said ‘once the class starts lock the doors and gas ’em’.
I think that person has had more than enough of these lowlife America-HATING Socialist commies. Sure can’t blame him/her.
Simply put…. if you do not believe in the protection of law-abiding citizens as outlined in the Constitution of the United State of America then move to another country…….Good luck finding a better country.
Thank you for speaking the Truth. So many don’t understand
that disobedience and Socialism is being taught!
And taught in our SCHOOLS!
Our country is politically divided,maybe it’s getting close to physically dividing it.I didn’t think that I would ever think this.With all of the communists,muslims,liberal leftist socialists trying to destroy AMERICA,maybe it’t time to consider putting AMERICANS that still love this country and the AMERICA haters in another part and let them ruin it.
SEDITION
WE NEED TO RESTART THE COMMITTEES OF CORRESPONDENCE.
Do other cities do this?
I remember the gool-old-days when one of the nice, redeeming features of religion in America was its support of “Civil Disobedience,” and they supported the idea of “Getting into good trouble, necessary trouble.”
I guess Jesus carries a Beretta, now, and likes shooting women in the head.
This will be one giant FAFO ! The collision of Left and Right is coming!
Their organization should be called Fart instead of Art because they really stink!
