0531PROTEST3
Lumpkin Democratic Party Chairman Ken Akins, front, uses a bullhorn on Tuesday to talk to protesters outside of the Gainesville office of Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville.
Calling for a face-to-face meeting, more than 100 North Georgia Democrats and activists gathered for their second protest outside of Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Collins’ Gainesville office on Tuesday. The Washington Street protesters were organized by Indivisible Lumpkin, a grassroots political group formed after President Donald Trump’s election, and North Georgia Democratic groups. The first demonstration was held March 6, when protester Marisa Pyle was promised by Collins that he would hold a town hall this summer, she told The Times during the Tuesday protest.
