"MAYDAY! Democracy Going Down" Rally – May 3

We will join Ocala Blue Dots and members of regional groups Ocala-Marion County for Democracy and Marion for Peace to express alarm and anger at the brutal and unconstitutional actions of the Trump/Musk regime. Protesters will represent other counties in addition to Marion County, including Alachua, Volusia, Lake, Sumter, Hernando, and Citrus counties.

Please bring succinct message signs (supporting sticks recommended for best visibility), or we will have extras on hand. Suggested slogans below*

These protests are a response to what organizers describe as "the anti-democratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration." This marks the sixth local protest held in Ocala, which in April saw more than 500 souls show up and attract state-wide attention.

RESISTANCE IS WORKING–IMPEACH TRUMP 2026!

The protests follow a series of executive orders by ersatz President Trump, including actions managed by a deranged Elon Musk, which is eliminating the positive and inclusive role of the federal government. We participants fight the so-called Department of Government Efficiency — and seek the reinstatement of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives that have been rescinded through racist executive orders.

Please note: Ocala Blue Dots is partnering with Casa Marion to do a food drive for their organization during our next protest. Casa's Mission is challenging the societal acceptance of domestic violence, through advocacy, prevention, intervention, and support services. Please bring canned goods and non-perishable items to donate prior to the demonstration.
