8/31/25 Local Action: 50501 Augusta
Rick Roll Rick Allen Sign Waving Event
Since our 12th District Congressman Allen refuses to hold any In-Person Townhall Meetings or actually meet his constituents in his Augusta office face-to-face to hear our concerns, we've decided to respectfully air our grievances this coming Sunday on the sidewalk outside of his church.
Don your Sunday School best, grab your In-Person Townhall NOW!, Release the Epstein Files, and Bible Verse Signs such as Matthew 25:42; Exodus 23:9; Leviticus 19:33-34; Psalm 72:13; Exodus 22:22; Matthew 25:35-36; and 1 John 3:17 and join us for a peaceful sidewalk protest.
In a perfect world, this will be a one and done. However, this world is far from perfect, so this will probably be a repeated event. We want to speak to his fellow congregants in their language to apply social pressure. Who knows, we may even bust out some hymns.

9/1/25 National Day of Action
Workers Over Billionaires Labor Day Rally
This Labor Day, Aiken is joining more than 2,000 “Workers Over Billionaires” events nationwide with our partners at 50501 and Indivisible Aiken. This is more than a rally—it’s a stand against the billionaire takeover of our government, our economy, and our communities.
Billionaires and corporate elites have bought off politicians, defunded schools, gutted worker protections, and passed the largest wealth giveaway in U.S. history. They want us exhausted, divided, and silent.
We have a different plan. On September 1, parents, educators, healthcare workers, small business owners, retirees, and students will come together to show that our power is in our numbers, our solidarity, and our refusal to be ignored.
How You Can Get Involved:
Join the Rally – 10 AM at Odell Weeks. Bring your sign and a friend! Volunteer – Help with set-up, sign-in, crowd marshaling, and clean-up. Make Signs - Join us at the ACDP office to create rally signs. Donate – Drop off water and sign-making supplies at the Aiken County Democratic Party office.
Our labor is worth more than their profits. Our dignity is not negotiable. Our future belongs to all of us.
