News and Events from around the County

We are staging a Rally For Resistance from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 1, in the Village of Hamilton. We need to clearly demonstrate to our community and our elected officials that we’re ready to fight and do what is necessary to stop the outrageous actions of the Trump administration.

Bring a sign or just yourself as we gather at the northern end of the Village Green. You can park along Broad Street or there is free parking at the Hamilton Public Library. 

Our theme is resistance, voicing our opposition to Trump's unconstitutional power grab and gutting of the federal workforce, which will harm services that seniors, veterans, farmers, and all of us in Madison County depend on.

We want to make clear that NOBODY elected Elon, and he and his minions need to be prevented from accessing sensitive government databases. AND, we need to let folks know how the Republicans' proposed budget benefits only the wealthy, and hurts working families in our county. 

Some tips for Saturday:

• Lettering on your signs should be thick and easily seen from a distance.  Messages on the front AND back are a bonus.

• Keep on the sidewalk and out of the road. Stay safe!

• Do not engage the opposition. If protesters engage in back and forth shouting, the message gets lost. 

• Please check our Facebook page for any last-minute changes due to weather. 

• Be creative with your signs. Overall, it can sometimes be better to stay positive. Example: 'Support Public Education' and not 'No Cuts to Education.'
