Some scenes from the #AugustaME #HandsOff rally (not my images -- from the Kennebec Journal)

by Hannah Kaufman, Kennebec Journal

AUGUSTA — "By about 2:20 p.m., the protest in Augusta had effectively ended, but for a smaller group, the march continued, with some making their third and fourth laps around the block.
Organizers had intended the march to take place on the sidewalk, but the width of Capitol Street was filled with a throng of protesters shortly before 2 p.m.

"Vivian Myers-Jones, a protester from New Brunswick, Canada, said an organizer estimated 3,000 people were at the protest during its peak.

"Several students from Bates College in Lewiston said they came to Augusta to protest in support of #Palestine. One student, Dylan, said action on the Israel-Hamas war is overdue.

"'We’ve been seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes for years now, and it’s overdue that people are doing something,' he said. 'We’ve been trying to make change, and I think some people are being shocked into action now, which is good to see.'

"Another student, Robert, said it’s important to exercise the right to protest.
'We’re fighting to continue fighting — about Palestine, about everything that’s going on in this country,' he said.
It’s important that we come together now.'"

Protestors crossing a street, forming a long line. They are marching from an official looking building (the state capital). Many of them are holding signs, some upside down American flags.
A crowd of people gathered in front of an official-looking building (the Maine state house). They are a mix and old, young, and middle-aged, and many of them are holding up signs. Some of the signs read: "Eat Elon"; "Stop funding the ethnic cleaning in Palestine"; "Hands Off Our Rights - No DOGE - FASCISTS"; "No tax breaks for the rich"; "Robber Barons"; "Deport Oligarchs, Guarantee Efficiency"; "Take Your Plutocracy to Pluto" (with a Rocket going into space).
