SUMMARY:Resistance Protest
DESCRIPTION:As of Monday\, April 20th\, we will be on corner of 28th street and the E. Beltline which is where Lowe’s is located. Lots of parking available. This Resistance Protest will take place every Monday from noon-1:00pm.  If you do not agree with what is happening under the present regime\, this is one easy way to make a difference and to stand up for what you believe in. If what is happening is not what you may have voted for\, that is an excellent reason to join us\, even if you have never attended a protest before. We are a respectful\, welcoming group and believe in a non-violent approach to making change. Everyone is welcome and bring a friend or two with you.  Signs will be available to use during the protest if you don’t have one.
