Nanuet, NY – On May 22, 2026 a large group of Rockland County residents gathered at the Four Corners in Nanuet (N Middletown Rd/Route 59) for a peaceful protest against Donald Trump and Mike Lawler’s attacks on working families across NY-17. The action was organized by Rockland Forward, a grassroots group of activists dedicated to resist the Trump agenda and holding Congressman Mike Lawler accountable.
As rents grow unaffordable, grocery and utility bills climb higher, and more families struggle just to get by, Republicans in Washington are pushing devastating cuts to healthcare, housing, food assistance, and public education while handing out more tax breaks to billionaires and large corporations.
Working people are being asked to sacrifice while the wealthy continue to cash in. These reckless policies threaten the stability of seniors, students, immigrants, children, and families across the Hudson Valley who rely on essential services to survive and thrive.
NY-17 deserves leadership that fights for everyday people, not wealthy donors and corporate interests. Rockland county is raising their voices and demand a government that puts people before profit, invests in our communities, and delivers real relief for everyday New Yorkers with a peaceful protest focused on community solidarity and collective action.
