Another round of rallies protesting the policies of President Donald Trump are slated for this Saturday, including over a dozen events taking place in Northeast Ohio.
“The goal of this protest is to bring people together who are concerned about this current administration’s executive overreach and attempts to curtail our freedoms and rights,” said Mosie Welch, an organizer for Medina County Indivisible.
but she wouldn’t be surprised if over 1,000 or more participants showed up based on participation in previous protests.
However, she says that interest in the event has been “staggering” while she has been speaking with her neighbors in her community.
“It allows people who live in these areas to feel like they have community and to get together, and it allows the public that are passing by to see that there is a concern out there, and we get a lot of support,” Welch said.
More than a dozen rallies against President Donald Trump’s policies are scheduled for Northeast Ohio this Saturday, marking the start of another round of protests.
Thousands of people attended the “No Kings” demonstrations throughout the state during the summer as they came together to protest Trump’s $45 million military parade in Washington, D.C. C.
On October, protesters are expected to assemble. The administration’s deployment of the National Guard in American cities, mass layoffs of the federal workforce, and ICE deportation sweeps are just a few of the measures that organizers anticipate will spark protests.
“This protest aims to unite people who are worried about the executive overreach and attempts to limit our rights and freedoms of the current administration,” stated Mosie Welch, a Medina County Indivisible organizer.
“Red or blue is not the issue here. Welch stated, “This is about people who care about our democracy, and one way we can express our dissatisfaction is by coming together in a peaceful assembly and stating that we do not accept what this administration is doing in our name.”.

According to Welch, it’s hard to predict how many people will attend the event in Medina. On the basis of participation in past protests, however, she wouldn’t be shocked if 1,000 or more people showed up. Speaking with her neighbors in her neighborhood, she claims that interest in the event has been “staggering.”.
“It gives residents of these communities a sense of belonging and enables them to come together, and it lets passersby know that there is a problem out there, and we receive a lot of support,” Welch said.
