Stand Up! Peaceful Protests

Check out the posts on the right about our "ICE OUT" protest!

Every Saturday Morning – 11am-12pm (note winter time)

Winter is here, along with cold temperatures. Our peaceful protestors have been amazing throughout the year, showing up in 90-degree heat, soaking rain, and biting winds. But safety comes first, so rather than abandoning our peaceful protest, we have opted to compress our efforts into ONE HOUR instead of 2. Our new scheduled time is 11am to 12pm, every Saturday morning.

Reminder: we cannot park our cars in the Mayo or Marketplace parking lots during the protest. There are many public parking spaces nearby. People will be stationed around the area to help you find a convenient spot. Bring a sign or display one of ours.

Please Join Us – We Are Stronger Together!

Jerry Schlei, one of our local Dems, has put together a set of short videos that explain how we got to these dire days in the history of the American Democracy. These videos are short, pointed and calm while calling us all to shake off any misplaced complacency: Trump's Road to Authoritarianism

 

Stand Up! Peaceful Protests Every Saturday Morning - 10am-12pm 331 S Main St, Rice Lake (map)  (Mayo Clinic - across from Marketplace)

It is time to inform the public about the detrimental effects of the president's executive orders. Our plan is to provide information via a series of respectful and peaceful protests. We will carry signs with helpful, funny and informative messages for 2 hours every Saturday morning from 10am until noon. Each weekly protest will feature a single issue. We began this on March 22nd, and 50 hardy souls braved the weather to warn of the collapse of the Department of Education. The March 29th protest highlighted the deep cuts in Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, and we had 85 activists with clever informative signs. On April 5th, 125 protestors expressed their feelings about the Trump/Musk administration. April 12th also drew 125 protestors as we honored our Veterans. We were overwhelmingly greeted by "thumbs up" and horn honks, validating our efforts.  This week's April 19th peaceful protest will feature the environment and our National Parks & Forests. Let's keep America beautiful by supporting our park and forest rangers. Please join us in this grass-roots effort. The Democrats office will be open on Wednesdays 12-4pm for sign-making. We will have sign materials and slogan ideas. Hand-made signs are also welcome. Please share and invite as many as you can - let's make a difference!
