About 20 residents, ranging from youth to seniors, gathered Friday night on Bedford Common waving flags and holding signs to protest three recent supreme court decisions (Overturning Roe vs. Wade, the EPA ruling, and the decision to hear Moore vs. Harper, the case on State Legislative power over elections).
Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians passing by responded primarily with honks and other signs of support, while a handful of people expressed opposition through yelling, head shaking, obscene gestures, and revving their engines.
Attendees were urged to turn their energy into action on three causes (Reproductive Freedom, Climate Justice, and Voting Rights).
