If counter-protestors or troublemakers show up, please do not engage with them. They have the same rights we do to demonstrate. You are being baited so they can blame you for trouble and further escalate things. Pause...ignore them...walk away...ask an organizer to step in.

EmpowHer would like to extend good wishes and congratulations to Cristen Fiffik who was officially sworn in as the new Mayor of Franklin Park. She and others who were recently elected were made official before Tuesday's Borough Council meeting. This is what Democracy Looks Like!
