Protestors will be gathering Saturday, April 26, at the Goshen Village Green in response to actions of the Trump administration.
Organizer Sherri Kasow has named the protest “Speak Out Democracy” and she said she has invited veterans groups, churches, local politicians, union workers and more to attend. A website for the event will be opened in the coming days.
Kasow was present at the March 24 meeting of the Goshen Village Board where permission was granted to use the village green from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 26.
