â•ŸRise Up Kawarthaâ•Ž protest draws about 40-50 people - Lindsay Advocate 'Rise Up Kawartha' protest draws about 40-50 people - Lindsay Advocate By William McGinn A group calling itself Rise Up Kawartha saw about 40-50 people attend a downtown gathering in Lindsay today to protest vaccines and lockdowns. Based on a Facebook group which currently has 139 members, the protesters took turns standing in each corner of the intersection of Kent and William Streets. Some were children. Most were unmasked. The Facebook group's motto is "Let's support everyone who's awake and standing up to help others to wake up" and they do not publicly share their posts or discussions. The protest was organized to be from 1-3 p.m. and during this time, several cars honked their horns in support, including some bus drivers, with most of the honks garnering cheers from the protestors. "Take off your mask!" a megaphone holder was heard saying. "You don't need it outside, you don't need it inside!"
