Lafferty: Organizing Trump protest in Aspen

Roaring Fork Valley locals: It’s time to stand up and stand together to save our nation. And quite frankly to offer hope as we watch our precious democracy endangered, dismantled policy by policy, action by action by Donald Trump.

We need to be heard—but even more, we need to find ways that we can be effective in facing our nation’s problems.

Mark your calendars for March 8, 3:30-4:30 p.m., Paepcke Park, Aspen, for a protest offering some hope and alternatives… a different kind of protest, but a protest, nonetheless.

We will have speakers who are experts in their field and who will outline problems and offer solutions we can pursue right here, right now!

We will address the local environment, freedom of the press, immigrant rights, rule of law and defending the constitution, youth voices.

We are still confirming Agenda, but these speakers will address all the above. (5 minutes each, outlining the problems, proposing solutions.)

The good fight! A protest against the Trump Administration

• Introduction: Linda Lafferty, author (and former Aspen High School teacher)
• Local environment: Greg Poschman, Pitkin County commissioner
• Freedom of the press: Andy Stone, longtime columnist/editor/publisher of The Aspen Times.
• VOCES UNIDAS: A local organization providing help and information to our migrant neighbors
• Rule of law/defending the constitution: Cheryl Niro (pending schedule), from Lawyers Defending American Democracy
• Youth Voice: Still unassigned
• Introduction to Mountain Action Indivisible, our local chapter of Indivisible

(This local protest is organized by Linda Lafferty and Blanca O’Leary, VERY concerned citizens of the Valley.)

We welcome your support, mostly by organizing friends and neighbors to participate. March 8.
