Democrats in Waynesboro, Staunton and Augusta County are holding a “Hands Off!” rally in conjunction with more than 600 rallies being held worldwide on Saturday, April 5, in what organizers are calling the largest single day of protest since Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term.
The local rally is set to begin at 12:30 p.m. on April 5.
The location: the Augusta County Courthouse in Downtown Staunton.
An online listing for the rally spells out the motivation:
“They’re taking everything they can get their hands on — our healthcare, our data, our jobs, our services — and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.”
I’m also seeing local “Hands Off!” rallies on the schedule in Harrisonburg and Charlottesville on April 5.
The Harrisonburg rally is being held on Court Square in Downtown Harrisonburg beginning at 12 noon.
The Charlottesville rally begins at 1 p.m. and will be held at the Shops at Stonefield, which announced last month, in an all-time tone-deaf PR move, will soon be home to a Tesla dealership.
