This episode features a member of TAKE ACTION SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA, one of the organizers of the NO KINGS protest in Abingdon, Virginia on Saturday, June 14, 2025.
Guest Lynn Manweiler works with the local protest group that claims attendance of 700 people in one of the more than 2,000 protests held nationwide on the same day.
We look at the issues causing people to take to the streets, including claims of Presidential overreach in areas of immigration, free speech, and budget cuts that threaten those who have Medicaid health coverage.
Regarding the rights to free speech and the rights to protest, Manweiler talks about people who have been taken from the streets and sent to prison without due process. She talks about a protestor who was shot and killed as part of the nationwide protests in which her event was part. And yet, she persists in being part of the demonstrations and explains her motivations.
