Let's Try This Again...

Defend Downtown Brunswick, LLC has announced that it will stage a protest march outside the Glynn County Courthouse, Thursday April 17 at 5:30 p.m. The march will precede the Glynn Commission's meeting. During that meeting, the commissioners will discuss whether to exercise their power of eminent domain in acquiring property for the proposed jail expansion.

DDB organizers, who have been outspoken foes of the Commission's proposal, claim the event will be the "largest gathering of protestors EVER in Glynn County's history!"

"Our County Commissioners have NOT listened to the voice of the people of Glynn," the group says in an email blast. "We MUST MOVE THE JAIL and we MUST MOVE THE COMMISSIONERS!! If you have an ounce of OUTRAGE at the proposed use of EMINENT DOMAIN by the County Commissioners, then come protest!

Protestors are asked to wear red to show solidarity, and to bring along their "Move the Jail" signs, friends, and family members. According to an article in The Brunswick News, the march will take place "rain or shine." Good thing; the last march was cancelled because of rain.

This issue is important. If you agree, please be sure to join in the march. If you want to know more, visit DDB's website.
