Citizens from across Polk county will meet at Central Park in Winter Haven and participate in a coordinated effort called “The National Day of Protest”. Bring your signs, listen to community leaders as they lead us in calls for action and fight for democracy.
Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate.
If you can’t stand in protest, bring a seat.
If you can’t yell in anger, hold a sign.
If you’re afraid to protest, come stand next to me for support.

We must support one another and protect those who cannot protect themselves.
The Polk County Democratic Party is committed to this fight and will work daily for ALL, not some.
