Protest planned for Saturday on Lyon Street

Join us for another big protest, from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 19, in downtown Albany. It will be on Lyon Street one block east of the usual protest location on Ellsworth Street. The Linn County Democrats and Mid-Valley For The People are organizing the event —  an afternoon of community, connection, and standing up for what matters! Bring a sign, bring a friend, and let’s raise our voices with respect and unity. We intentionally chose Lyon Street for our gathering to give Albany Farmers' Market space to thrive and to make sure everyone in our downtown community feels supported. Saturday will be the 2025 opening day for the market, which runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the City Hall parking lot and along Fourth Avenue between Ellsworth Street and Broadalbin Street. Before the protest, swing by Farmers’ Market and support our amazing local vendors.

Please bring nonperishable food items to the protest. Let’s help out our local community.
A Linn Dems table will be set up for collection. At the Hands-off protest April 5, we donated 50 pounds of food and $148 to Fish of Albany  
Let’s do it again! Please ensure donations are NOT expired or opened.
