Thank you to everyone who attended the Wheeler Peaceful Protest this past Saturday. Around 30–35 people gathered, and we were encouraged by the many supportive gestures from passing travelers. We focus on the positive support we receive and encourage everyone to keep our demonstration friendly and welcoming. It was wonderful to see so many new faces—your presence truly makes a difference.

Please make time to join us this coming Saturday, August 2, in Nehalem, from noon to two. Or show up when you can and leave when you need to.

There are no simple solutions to the challenges we face. It’s important to stand up when laws are broken, when free speech is threatened, or when any leader overreaches their authority. We encourage everyone to participate in peaceful protests across the country and to consider how you can contribute. In addition to joining us for demonstrations or making thoughtful consumer choices, you might also:

Volunteer with local organizations supporting our mission

Contact your elected representatives to voice your concerns

Share information and updates on social media to raise awareness

Educate friends and family about the issues at hand

Don’t support billionaire businesses

Every action counts, and your involvement strengthens our community. Please invite your friends to join our peaceful protest on Saturday, August 2, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Nehalem, and encourage them to support positive change in their everyday choices.

Take Action for Positive Change!

Join our peaceful protest this Saturday, August 2, from noon to two in Nehalem—bring your friends for greater impact.

Please remember to dress in layers, bring water, and, if you have one, a sign—just make sure all signs are positive and respectful. We have extra signs available, and the best messages are those that come from the heart. If you’ve misplaced a water bottle in Wheeler or Manzanita, check the lost and found box.

Our movement is rooted in unity and a shared commitment to justice and free speech. By showing up for peaceful demonstrations, supporting local causes, and making thoughtful choices, we can work together for a better future. Every action, big or small, strengthens our community and helps create positive change.

We are grateful for the generosity of those who continue to support the North County Food Bank. Flags are available for $2, $4, and $6 each, with proceeds going to the NCFB.

Please invite your friends and neighbors to stand with us this Saturday in Nehalem. Together, we can amplify our voices and build a more just, inclusive community.
