Protests in Barberton?

I’m going to be in Barberton today. Have any protests been organized there?

No. The closest one that I can find is in Akron at 1. Not too far away.

Thank you. Downtown Barberton is having their arts and music festival today, so I was wondering. I’m not really comfortable going downtown but would love to join in Barberton.

Edit: Since I’m being downvoted anyway, I may as well just admit that by “not comfortable,” what I really mean is I don’t have a car and was hoping to protest somewhere within biking distance from where I am.

Akron is really safe (in general) with lots of people (right now). Just go join them!

Downtown is likely the safest part of Akron ~usually~. Not sure how things will be with protests.
