Pearl Elders are taking it to the streets, sort of

Residents will protest against the Trump administration on Saturday at Fields Park

The Pearl Elders, shown here on a previous day of protest, say that many in their group are challenged by the size and power of larger events and feel safer in a smaller gathering.

The Pearl Elders will be out in force again Saturday at Fields Park as part of a nationwide “No Kings” protest of the Trump administration.

The group says it hopes to continue the progress the United States has made in the last 250 years toward democracy. It lists as its goals:

• A fair election system

• Affordable education for all

• Affordable medical care for all

• Equal protection under the law with nobody, regardless of status, above the law

• A clean planet

• Equal rights to all, regardless of color, gender or social status

• A military that protects us, not controls us
