Protest Scheduled For Thursday At County Courthouse
April 30, 2025 at 6:49 p.m.
A local protest organized by Thomas Skeens will take place May 1 rain or shine downtown at the courthouse from 4 to 6 p.m.
According to Skeens, “Across the country — from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta — working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes — public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.
“Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom — on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.
“May Day 2025 we are standing united. We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety — regardless of race, zip code or immigration status.
“They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people —and we will not stand down. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong,” according to Skeens.
