The Wichita County Democratic Association will host a "Rally for Democracy" 1-3 p.m. Saturday at the park at Eighth Street and Scott Avenue in downtown Wichita Falls.

The theme is “We the People Want Hands Off Our Democracy.”

“We want to peacefully show this country’s leaders that this region cares about our rights, freedoms and our communities,” said event chair Morgan Stephenson in a press release.

The release said the Wichita Falls rally is one of more than 500 planned for Saturday nationwide.

“This is the next in a series of rallies and protests aimed at making our point that we oppose getting the U.S. out of NATO, we support Sheppard Air Force Base, we support U.S. postal workers and we oppose cuts to programs that would affect so many of our friends and neighbors,” Stephenson said in the release. “It’s urgent that we show where we stand as the president and Elon Musk dismantle our government.”
