We the People Protest 10/18/25

Hundreds of people turned out for the We the People / No Kings 2 protest in Fountain Park. It was a joyful assembly.

We listened to inspiring speakers:

• Heather Mizeur, former Maryland Delegate
• Wayne Gilchrest, former US Representative
• Professor Adam Goodheart, Director, Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience at Washington College
• Rosie Ramsey Granillio, Chestertown native and Central American solidarity activist, co-founder of Eñe – the Hispanic Community Cultural Alliance for Kent County
• Silvia Gonzalez Roman and Jen Gloede, Co-Founders, Eastern Shore Indivisible

And incredible musical performances by Karen Somerville on vocals with Gerry Werner on keyboard and vocals. And crowd pleasing a capella tunes by Rapid Response.

After the rally, we carried our protest signs one block over to Rt. 213 to let the passing traffic know that We the People will not be silenced.
