Local Lexington Protest Group Growing Rapidly

Lexington, KY – As chaos grew in the wake of the January 2025 presidential inauguration, people across the country jumped into action to express their opposition to Trump’s barrage of destructive policies. They contacted elected officials, took to the streets to protest, organized boycotts, and used social media to express their outrage at the rapid dismantling of the government and civil service.

Lexington resident Craig Joaquin Blair wanted to focus on street protests, so he founded Peaceful Bluegrass Resistance.

The group holds three ongoing weekly protests at some of Lexington’s busiest intersections to raise the alarm about the dangers of the Trump/Musk administration. Their Peaceful Bluegrass Resistance Facebook group has reached 1,000 members in just four weeks, and they have held multipleprotests in downtown Lexington. The turnout has grown with each one.

Says Blair, “It’s amazing how fast this group has grown, with more people joining every day. Right now people are looking for a way to get involved, and our protests show the power of ordinary citizens coming together and fighting for change.”

The group’s three weekly protests are:

• Mondays 7:30-9:30 am near Mitch McConnell’s office at the intersection of Harrodsburg and New Circle Roads;
• Thursdays 4:00-6:00 pm at the intersection of Nicholasville and Reynolds Roads; and
• Saturdays 1:00-3:00 pm at the intersection of Sir Barton Way and Man o’War.

Peaceful Bluegrass Resistance was founded in Lexington, KY in February 2025 to organize public protests against the Trump/Musk administration and its unconstitutional dismantling of our government and federal workforce.
