MASON CITY – Folks who are unhappy with President Trump and other Republicans who are making changes to laws affecting workers’ rights will be holding a demonstration Friday evening in downtown Mason City.
Organizers of the event acting under a national grassroots movement called “Strike4Democracy” say that as the Donald Trump presidency unfolds, it is becoming increasingly clear to them that his administration “does not have our best interests at heart.” They have put forth a call to action and organized a local strike “to defend the constitution.”
Where Do We Go From Here (A non-partisan community action group) and The 4th District Green Party Chapter have joined forces to support union workers on General Strike Day, Friday, February 17. Under the Trump / GOP administration, “union workers are under attack,” the say.
“First, the Trump administration came for the Muslims, and now he is coming for immigrants and is targeting our hard-working union men and women.
“Union workers have toiled for more than forty years to get where they are today. Having fought for fair pay and a safe working environment for American workers, just to have it all go away with the stroke of a pen. These local groups have heard the call from the Industrial Workers of the World for this strike and are mobilizing to show support.”
On Friday, February 17th, they will assemble to show support for American workers. The rally will start at 5 PM and go through 8 PM in Central Park across the street from City Hall.
The general public is invited to participate.

Yep protesting downtown where city council wants you to come down and drink at the bars. There is a New too! Beer beer beer!
Oh LOOK! The airheads have found a safe space – for the moment anyway. WORTHLESS.
You are a Richard Head
Odd….some of them seem willing to make a stand by protesting in public, but then some of them hide their faces behind a protest sign.
And you register your protestations here with a hidden identity. Odd indeed.
Maybe his name really is Buzz Crumcutter 🙂
Odd indeed. Show us your green card Buzz and if all your papers are in order then case dismissed!
Obama and his followers are evil and Anti- American whores.
PROTESTING AGAINST TRUMP… In MASON CITY! Yeeeah, your voices will surely be heard. You will have a great impact on this country… By protesting IN A SMALL TOWN THAT NO ONE KNOWS OR CARES ABOUT LOL.
What an epic waste of time.
The election is over . All these protests remind me of HIroo Onoda. I hope it does not take that many years for these people to recognize that Trump will be the president for at least 4 years.
so they are protesting trump because of what the iowa leg did?
what is Soros paying for this gig? Maybe I will saunder down there and ask them.
It figures that a Trump supporter would “saunder”.
John must have “sauntered”, since “saunder” has an entirely different meaning. Unless of course you voted for Trump, then its OK to make shit up.
This is what happens when you don’t spank your children. Under achievers that would die if sweat ran off their brow. They should use this wasted time and energy and spend it helping under privileged kids, the handicapped, elderly, etc. Why do they hate the under privileged children, handicapped people and the elderly? Mean spirited people you are.
Get a Job LOSERS
Anti – American rally in senile park today ?
Circle of corruption – public servants can not get elected without powerful unions (teachers is largest) when they get elected they have to pay back to these people by giving them more money . Jimmy Hoffa knew all about bribery.
Then Dippity Donald knows the same. If people are being paid by Soros then others must be paid by Dippity.
Carol – their a bunch of mostly public servants that want a bigger piece of the pie – your opinion is fake news.
A protest is a way to express an objection to what has been said or done; those who protest in public are taking a stand and letting their communities know that they disapprove or take exception. Protesters are publicly making their opinions heard in an attempt to influence public opinion or government policy, or to facilitate change. In the opinion of many, including myself, protesters are heroes who have the integrity and courage to stand up for what they believe. It is ridiculous to call them whiners.
Oh no, I just peed my pants.
Protestors have the right to do so, but c’mon. Is this latest trend? Organized whining in public? It is getting annoying, and protesting is really getting you nowhere.
Hey Dickie. I bet you would have found it annoying too when years ago women took to the streets to protest for the right to vote.
You are crazy, since when can women vote?
Womens suffrage and peeing in your liberal diapers are hardly fair comparisons. Pick a better cause losers.
Attend this rally to raise property taxes so the democratic party can raise the public servants life style – CUT ALL PUBLIC SERVANT WAGES BY 25% ! TtHEN FIRE 25% of them. We CANNOT afford these people anymore -PRIVATIZE ALL these jobs.
I hope I can get a few minutes off to drive by this Mafia convention.
Race baiting – only platform these maggots have in their party of lawyers – liars- and thieves of the American way of life – Democratic party = PACK OF RATS.
Public employees – government employees – 95% who voted for the bitch Hillary and the hard to flush Turd party of demorats. Evil anti American mob.
Green Party? That explains a lot. It should be Flake Party. They had better stay out of the streets. They have a right to protest and make fools of themselves, but they do not have the right to block sane people from going about their business.
Anyone else notice that Boing workers in South Carolina rejected the Union for a second time? Unions are dead and good riddance!
All I’ve ever experienced from them is worthless employees getting protected from being fired, did a lot of good in Waterloo at John Deere, just ask the 1000 people who lost their jobs
Or the out of work union members at Holcim in Mason City.
Snowflakes in Mason today! And I thought the forcast was for record highs, oh wait…
And soon the snowflake himself will melt away and be gone forever
Took out the Garbage again. And, it wasn’t even my comment. Dumb Ass Troll.
Good job LVS.
LVS-The only garbage on here is the stuff coming out of your mouth. You are not as clever as you think you are, if fact you are king of a fool and everyone on here knows it except you. Hahaha
No presidents have ever had anyone in any good interest, they are all from the same 13 bloodlines they are all “royalty”, they are all friends & related, you are Goyim/cattle to them, don’t believe this look at this video, https://youtu.be/ghnIgBokfG0, also all presidents except one have the same great x grandfather, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne, ignorance is a choice.
Interesting post, definitely something to think about.
Mint, you have already been called out on your poorly thought out conspiracy. Everyone of any english decent are more than likely related to the same people, not just the presidents.
Wrong the 13 bloodlines procreate within their bloodlines they have RH negative blood that means they do not have the rhesus monkey, video about the families who control the earth https://youtu.be/RO0S6j2Zsqo, they are “royalty” also they came up with the word “conspiracy’ video by ODD Conspiracy Vlog, https://youtu.be/AoWl3QpsKKA, as for being called out on my post what by one person, personally I do not know anyone in my lifetime that practice sorcery/witchcraft or members of the Illuminati, you are the one that is wrong.
Against this protest? Than you a RACIST. Pure an simple. Bring on the HATERS I know you out here.
What are you? One of the protest parasites?
This has got to be a feeble attempt at trolling; there is no way anyone is really this stupid.
There is absolutely nothing race related about union workers.
Unfortunately, this site is full of idiots and morons etc. who will never see the big picture because they can’t see past their nose. They believe everything their illiterate friends tell them, then they come to this site and try and show how worldly intelligent they are. Now I’ll admit that I’m not the smartest poster on this site, but I think for myself and try to post something sensible that has to do with the subject.
New to town? Get out of here, dousch
