MEDFORD, Ore. Local Oregonians plan to rally this weekend, more than 200 people say theyll be attending and over 600 have said their interested on a Facebook event page created for the Faith & Freedom Rally.

The rally is scheduled to begin at 11:00AM at the Jackson County Courthouse on Saturday, May 16th.

Residents, business owners, pastors that want to group together and be a support for our local leaders, said Amy Rose, one of the organizers of the Faith & Freedom Rally, Were just going to have the patriotic music that makes us all proud, were going to have speakers, the Pledge of Allegiance; just a really nice freedom, peaceful rally.

The rally will be held on the lawn of the courthouse and will have multiple speakers, including congressional candidate Jason Atkinson, Oregon State Senator Herman Baertschiger, and Jackson County Commissioner Colleen Roberts.

In a statement on the Facebook event, created for the rally, organizers state, Our freedoms, our constitutional rights as Americans, are being taken from us and trampled on at an alarming rate.

One of the main focuses of the rally is a return to normal.

Opening businesses but maybe in a more freedom way, said Rose, a lot of people were talking to say the way its being opened is pretty rough and financially hard to do.

Rose says organizers are expecting a large crowd to attend the rally.

Were inviting everyone to come down and share it with your friends and family. Its meant to be a great empowering patriotic day, said Rose.

The crowd expected is more than the current gathering size guidelines set by the Governor, Rose says organizers have spoken with the local sheriffs office and local police, who are aware of the rally.
