Just a reminder of the Protest in Nehalem on October 4th, Saturday, from noon to 2 PM. Come when you can and stay as long as you like. This looks like a very busy weekend for local events.
The North County Resistance group organizes these peaceful protests to advocate for positive change in our community, promoting justice, equity, and neighborly support. We invite all community members—both regular participants and newcomers—to join us in making a meaningful impact together.
Bring your signs, your chairs, your positive attitude, and a couple of cans of food for our local North County Food Bank. And yes, checks and cash are greatly appreciated. We generally have someone from the Food Bank at the Protest, and they take the food to Wheeler every Tuesday morning.
The North County Resistance group would appreciate everyone attending these Protests to know it is our intention to keep all our activities safe, peaceful, and orderly. You will see some people wearing orange vests at the Protests. If there is any problem, you should contact these people and let them solve the problem. North County Resistance does this to keep everyone safe. We want you to be calm and stay calm—and be a team player when you come to protest. Please listen to the people in the orange vests. They may ask you to not cross the road in the middle of Hwy. 101 but to please use the crosswalk—simple concept, right? They may ask you to not have your sign too far out onto the highway, which might hamper a driver’s line of vision. Lots of these things are common sense, but if there is a moment when things begin to unravel, please listen to the people in orange vests. No, we have not had anything unravel at these Protests. We may practice on this coming Saturday to see what we might need to work on for the BIG NO KINGS event on October 18, in Manzanita.
We need more volunteers to serve as Marshalls at the October event—these team members play a vital role in keeping everyone safe and organized. If you’re interested in helping out, please contact me, Patty, at 503-368-6081 or speak with me at Saturday’s protest. Your support makes a real difference!
