A Year of Protest to follow
2-4p on Sat Jan 17th, 2026
Lincoln Park in Olean, NY
You can meet us at the Olean Public Library at 1p if you are pre-registered for the event with them or meet us at the park where we will be from 2-4p.
Theme: it has been a year and we are fighting this __________!
If you could bring canned goods or non-pershishable items we can connect with local pantries and aide sites. We did a wonderful job getting supplies to the unhoused at our last protest. A lot of people are hurting now more than ever and we have to continue the fight, as well as build community and mutal aide.
This event is outdoors. Please dress appropriately. Stay out of the road, parking spots, and medians please.
We know it will be cold, so you can stay as long as you want. We haven’t had a protest since Nov 18th, so let’s get out there and make some noise!!!
*** this is a non-violent protest. Do not bring any weapons. If you see something or need assistance, please locate a marshal in a neon vest for assistance. ***
