Protest coming up at old courthouse in Saluda

The march in Kilmarnock was one of hundreds of peaceful protests across the nation April 5 as part of the Hands Off movement protesting cuts made by the current presidential administration. Here, protesters paused to chant, “United, we’ll never be defeated.” (Photo by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi)

A peaceful protest is planned for 10 a.m. Saturday, May 3, at the Middlesex County Historic Courthouse, Middlesex County Democratic Party Chairman Hallie Holmes announced in an email to the Sentinel. Clergy and faith leaders are invited.

“Bring your signs, bring your chairs, bring your water,” Holmes said. “A bathroom will be available and it will be handicapped accessible.” The protest is in response to the effects of the current administration, Holmes added. It is weather permitting.

She said additional future peaceful protests are planned for Middlesex.

  • For information, call Holmes at 804-854-5906.
  • The old courthouse is at 865 General Puller Highway in Saluda.
