From 65 to 100 protesters showed up on yet another damp day last Saturday at WKFL Park as part of national “Good Trouble Lives On” protests. Sponsored by Homer Women of Action, the modest group stood on both sides of Pioneer Avenue carrying signs that read “Resist like it’s 1938,” “Elect a Congress that will resist tyranny” and “Fascism is double-plus un-good.”

The national website described the protest as “the act of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice.” 

The name comes from the late Congressman John Lewis, a 1960s Civil Rights activist who said, “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.”

Organized by Homer Women for Action, Sandy Garrity, a member of the group, said her reason for attending was “having a voice with what’s going on in the whole world.”

“Against what’s become normal ideas,” added another protester, Maureen Daher.
