What an excellent PROTEST we had today in Nehalem—even the rain couldn’t dampen our spirits! About 30 people joined us, and hundreds more showed their support by honking and giving us the thumbs up. Many agreed that this was the most enthusiastic response we’ve received in weeks. Over the past few months, we’ve held more than 16 PROTESTS, and while we wish we could be out every day, it’s not always possible. There are so many positive events happening in North Tillamook County, and we are truly fortunate to live in such a vibrant, supportive community where freedom of speech is celebrated.
Looking ahead, we need to get serious about next week’s PROTEST in Manzanita. Your support is crucial—here’s how you can help: bring a friend, make a sign, donate snacks like banana bread or pumpkin bread for our protesters, or simply spread the word to encourage others to join us. We especially hope to see more teenagers participate; we haven’t seen any at our PROTEST since July 4th in Manzanita. Even if you can’t stay, drive by a couple of times and honk to show your support. Every action makes a difference!
Rain is likely next Saturday, but this week proved that a little weather won’t hold us back. To keep everyone safe at the Manzanita PROTEST, we’ll share important instructions in the next few days—please read them carefully and follow them. These guidelines are for everyone’s safety. If you’re unable to follow the instructions, we ask that you refrain from attending.
Stay tuned for more updates.
Thank you to everyone who braved the weather today! We are grateful for your dedication and proud to be part of this amazing community.
Don’t forget your donation of canned food to our North Tillamook County Food Bank. Go put your donation in your care now. Thanks.
Best,
Patty
