***Part Of National Protest***

A crowd of more than 2,400 filled College Square across from the Arch in downtown Athens on Saturday, braving at times heavy rain and a thunderstorm, to protest against the way Donald Trump is wielding his power as president.

Part of the national No Kings protest, the Athens event was organized by a coalition of seven local groups, including the Oconee County Democrats.
