Protestors lined both sides of North Stratford Road Saturday for a handful of hours to show their objection to President Donald Trump, his administration and the federal cuts that have been made.
Hands Off protests have been occurring nationwide since April 5. Grant County’s first was in Ephrata with Moses Lake a couple of weeks behind. The Grant County Democrats helped organize both.
Overall, the response to the protest was positive with a lot of honking, yelling in support and thumbs up. However, some passersby chose to make crude gestures at protestors and the occupant of one car threw empty pop cans as they passed.
