Hernando May Day protest targets Trump  

Expect a group of protesters at the DeSoto County Courthouse Thursday during the noon hour as part of a national action on May Day, observed in many countries as International Workers’ Day.  

The Hernando protest is part of over 1,000 events in 851 cities across the country.  Most of the protests will be targeted at President Donald Trump, with organizer Kelly Jacobs stating that participants are asking Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and U.S. Rep. Trent Kelly (R-Miss.) to be involved in a Congressional action to “Impeach, Convict and Remove President Trump” from office. 

“Trump has attacked the very foundation of our Democracy,” Jacobs, a Hernando resident said. “He does not honor the law, does not respect and obey the orders from our Courts nor protect the American people. His directives only profit the millionaires.” 

Jacobs said the May Day action is dedicated to “fighting for a better future that prioritizes the needs of working families and their neighborhoods by removing Trump from office.”
