Delaware Valley Action! (DVA!) and several other local organizations will host a rally at the Pike County Courthouse on Saturday, April 5, from 2-4 p.m. to protest actions in Washington, D.C. – shutting down government agencies, implementing tariffs and sparking a Constitutional crisis.
“Thousands of dedicated and experienced federal employees from agencies such as the Department of Education, USAID, Department of Agriculture, EPA and many more have been summarily fired without cause,” said Ed Gragert, a local DVA! member. “Like hundreds of thousands of others who will be rallying in Washington, DC and across the country, we want to send a message to our elected officials that these actions are neither fair nor saving taxpayer dollars.”
Participants will share concerns about the economy, which is stagnating and may be headed toward a recession. Retirement funds are being depleted daily. Prices remain high and will go much higher when tariffs result in raising prices on everything we buy, from groceries to cars and houses.
The Pike County Courthouse is at 420 Broad St., Milford, Pa. Delaware Valley Action! is a 501-c-4 non-profit community organization not affiliated with any political party.
