WE STAND WITH UKRAINE

Despite the cold temperatures more than 60 community members joined the Mason County Dems in front of the court house downtown March 22 from noon to 2 pm.
We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and gather to show our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, to honor those affected by the ongoing conflict, and to call for continued humanitarian aid and assistance.

With signs in hand, we peacefully demonstrate to raise awareness of Ukraine’s struggle and resilience.

Supporting Ukraine is about upholding democratic values, protecting global security, and ensuring that might does not make right in international relations.

MARCH MAD AS HELL HUMP DAY RALLY, 3/12/25

The Mason County Democratic Party kicked off March 12 its “Mad as Hell Hump Day protest, from noon to 1:00 pm in front of the Mason County Courthouse in downtown Ludington. More than 50 people attended, signs in hand to protest the Trump-Musk chaos campaign we are living through just two months into this administration.

The peaceful protestors expressed their anger regarding the current reckless chainsaw approach to government efficiency — destroying the livelihood of the civil servants we rely on and make it more difficult for citizens to find/receive the services they need.

Trump and his cronies are dismantling, with no warning or transparency, civil service offices and positions in place for constituent services. Trump’s executive orders and actions are dismantling our government at warp speed, with no plan for the path forward.

At the rally people held signs that reflect their fears and concerns, from protecting Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, our veterans, and public education to ending the unnecessary tariffs and support for Ukraine.

Mason County Dems will continue their Wednesday noon rallies on March 19 and 26 in front of the courthouse.

Presidents Day, Not Kings Day Rally

The Mason County Dems took to the streets on Presidents Day, Feb. 17, in front of the Mason County Courthouse, joining the peaceful protest nationwide that day opposing the Trump Administration’s Consolidation of executive power. About 35 hardy Michiganders wanted to remind their community that we live in a democracy, not an oligarchy or dictatorship.

The reason speaking out is so important is that it lowers the perceived risk for those who are still silent but have something to say. Your courage matters. Your voice matter. It makes the waters warmer, no matter the temperature outside!

Mason County Dems Celebrate MLK

On Jan. 20, 2025, a day where temperatures were hovering around 0 degrees with wind chills below, 25 hardy Mason County Democrats made a little noise in downtown Ludington in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday and National Day of Service. We set out to celebrate MLK Day of Service and collected a bin full of donations for Ludington Cares Boxes for the five locations in Mason County. Thank you to Chris Dunn for reading King's "I Have A Dream" speech so eloquently, and for everyone who sang "Lift Every Voice" as we stood together in today's snow globe. Thank you to all who made signs in advance of the event, and to those who braved the elements to attend and donate. MLK Day of Service reminds us that everything we do to uplift our community matters!
