The Positive Action Committee Carbondale and Indivisible Shawnee groups will hold a rally this week to "take back our flag and our country."

The Positive Action Committee Carbondale and Indivisible Shawnee groups will hold a rally this week to "take back our flag and our country."

The rally aims to protest against Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Trump Administration for recent executive orders and the passing of bills argued to threaten marginalized communities.

The invitation states that it is protesting for the government to "stop this obvious attempt to turn the United States into a fascist oligarchy."

Organizers encourage spreading the word and for attendees to invite their friends and neighbors.

The May Day Strong Rally is on Thursday, May 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Carbondale Town Square Pavilion.

For more information, call Judy at 618-549-5578.
