Protest Event Before GOP Fundraiser May 16

SCHOHARIE COUNTY — Members of Indivisible for Schoharie County invite all community members — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike — to join them in a peaceful roadside event recognizing Representative Elise Stefanik back to Schoharie County, where she has not held a public event in quite some time.

Anyone who cares about affordable groceries, food programs for school children, accessible healthcare, protecting Medicare and Social Security, reproductive rights, due process, and the Constitution is encouraged to stand together in visible unity.

“We want Representative Stefanik to see the real faces of our district — the working families, the seniors, the young people, and our neighbors who expect leadership that puts community over special interests,” said Theresa Heary of the group. “Across party lines, we stand together to defend democracy and demand real representation.”

Participants are encouraged to park along both sides of NY-30A, with signs and decorated cars, to create a powerful visual statement of unity and concern. The sideroad off of 30A (Tater Barn Road) is a public road, and as such, we have the right to be there. People who would like to get out of their cars can carefully make their way to Tater Barn Road.

To help us ensure a safe, organized, and effective event, we ask all participants to sign up in advance to receive text updates. Local and state police have been consulted. Situations can change quickly, with weather, the police and community leaders all involved.
