Protest to Support our LGBTQ+ Community
Date: Sunday, June 22nd
Time: 4:00PM-5:30PM
Location: Hyannis Airport Rotary (details about parking and where exactly to stand listed below.)
Please wear “pride spirit” to make a visual impact as a rainbow sea of love, acceptance, and appreciation for diversity and all the unique talents that makes our community so vibrant.
As always, please bring signs, flags, drums, other instruments, chants, art, etc., as joy is resistance, art is resistance, community is resistance. [Joyful community resistance to fascism]
In honor/celebration of pride month, we are protesting against Trump & his administration, specifically against the harm he has caused to the LGBTQ+ community. We are infuriated with his executive orders that ban gender affirming care for minors, that restrict trans rights, and that eliminate protections against discrimination for those in the LGBTQ+ community. We recognize the detrimental effect this has had on the well being of many individuals and the community as a whole. We stand in solidarity to say we will not put up with this.
We will not allow this administration’s attacks on the LGBTQ+ community to continue! #RESIST

**Corruption destroys, Community Builds: We will also be collecting nonperishable food items for the AIDS support group in Hyannis. ****
We are being cosponsored by a local pride group, and have invited local pride groups to set up informational tables if they are available.
As with every protest, we also want to highlight the extreme unconstitutional practices of this administration, as this is not just about policies.
This is NOT business as usual in DC, this is NOT normal.
This republican administration has attempted to seize control over state election processes through executive orders and efforts to undermine civil rights legislation, as well as threatening the checks and balances established by the Constitution, such as disregarding court orders and altering federal regulations without proper authority. The administration is using its current power to help billionaires continue to profit while striping away the services that help the most needy.
We need to stand up for due process, free speech, upholding court rulings, and the separation of church and state. The Founding Fathers established the principles of due process, free speech, and the separation of church and state through the First Amendment and other parts of the Constitution. These concepts were designed to protect individual rights and limit government power.
We have NO KINGS in America, yet Trump is acting like one.
We, the people, must rise up, and show that the power of the people is greater than the people in power.
