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.

• Participants should keep in mind that their photo or video may be captured by passersby. If you wish to not be recognized, consider wearing a hat, sunglasses, mask, etc. to cover your face.
• Know Your Rights at a Protest (provided by PA ACLU): www.aclupa.org/know-your-ri...

Please do not park in the CVS or WesBanco parking lots.
We encourage carpooling, recommend the parking lot outside of the former Dick's Sporting Goods / Home Goods.
♿ Participants with mobility issues can be dropped off at the CVS parking lot to gather at the CVS corner.

• We continue to remind participants that we gather peacefully and nonviolently to demonstrate our rights and concerns, and to stand for community members whose rights are being obliterated. We are not going to interact with troublemakers. All participants are expected to participate peacefully.

We remain grateful for the community you have helped create. Kindness matters, democracy matters, and you are strengthening both across our beloved community. Thank you.

We Rally for Democracy at McCandless Crossing on the 1st & 3rd Saturdays from 11:00 AM - Noon. Please come, bring friends and neighbors, and help us spread the word--including by following us on BlueSky and Instagram!

Please join EmpowHer (a new grassroots group in the northern suburbs) for a peaceful, nonviolent gathering to stand together for our Constitutional rights, truth, freedom, and our intentionally marginalized communities--all of which this administration is attempting to erase. Not under our watch!

We will be accepting food donations. (Toy + clothing donations are being paused for the time being.)

Why: To show your support for democracy, build community, and show dictators they are not welcome here. Dress in warm layers and bring water, chair, flags, cowbells, and a sign--or just show up as your beautiful self! And please bring trusted friends and neighbors.
