On Saturday, April 5, 1-2 pm, Rock This Democracy: Hands Off! Rally and March will gather at The Pleasance, 1 Main Street.

The rally will begin with live music at 12:45 and notable speakers, action items, and more. The music will be provided by The Gulf of Mexico Band. The outdoor rally will conclude with a march to the Main Street flagpole.

Organizers state the event is “to underscore citizen outrage in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian excess, dangerous incompetence, violations of due process, assault on democracy, and threat to social security and basic functions of government.”

Organized by Rock This Democracy, Newtown Action Alliance, and other groups in solidarity with Indivisible, the event will include clergy, local political leaders, leaders of multiple citizen groups, Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, and additional speakers TBA. The rally and march will be in tandem with hundreds of other rallies taking place the same day across the state and country. Attendees are encouraged to bring their signs and voices “to amplify a message of unity in defense of liberty and justice,” also according to event organizers.
