AMHERST — A nationwide protest focused on the Trump administration’s cutting of services, jobs and programs, and the general direction of the country, is set for Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. on the North Common in front of Amherst Town Hall — one of several events scheduled throughout the week and into next weekend.

The “Light for Our Democracy” event is being put on by the League of Women Voters of Amherst, with a community-focused gathering and candlelight vigil addressing the loss of governmental positions and agencies and the threat to the stability of the government.

People are encouraged to bring signs and posters for the hourlong event, with people from Amherst and surrounding communities invited to the stand out.

State Rep. Mindy Domb, D-Amherst, is an invited speaker.

The protest is part of the 50501 project, which stands for 50 States, 50 Protests, One Day, and the March 4 Liberty, and comes before Trump is expected to speak to a joint session of Congress that evening.

Meanwhile, Indivisible groups in the region are planning a “No Kings Peaceful Demonstration — Stop the Coup” events on Tuesday morning and afternoon in Holyoke and Longmeadow.

Rise Up Western Mass Indivisible, Indivisible Northampton-Swing Left Western Mass, and others are joining nationwide actions on Tuesday to demand that the president stop his unconstitutional power grab, and that Congress fulfills its duty to stop him.

The standouts in Holyoke, taking place from 8-9 a.m. and again from 4-5:15 p.m., will be held on the Interstate 91 overpasses at 9 Mt. Park Road. They will feature Indivisible groups holding banners and signs.

In Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, the Massachusetts congressional delegation, including U.S. Reps. Richard Neal and Jim McGovern, along Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, will be speaking in Washington, D.C. at the Small Business Committee Room in the Russell Senate Office Building at 2 p.m.

Those speaking will discuss the damaging impacts of Trump’s agenda to Massachusetts residents, businesses and local governments, by addressing key issues related to the economy, health care, environmental protections, education and immigration.

Later in the week, on March 7, will be Stand Up for Science protests across the country.

Then on Sunday, March 9, a group called Northampton Resists will hold a rally at Northampton City Hall from 12-2 p.m. The event will feature several speakers, including state Sen. Jo Comerford and state Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa.
