SAVANNAH, Ga. () — Dozens of people gathered outside the Tesla showroom in Savannah Saturday taking part in a nationwide stint of protests. The protesters had a lot to say about Elon Musk’s position in the White House.

Sharon McCallie-Steller said, “If we don’t speak up, it’s not going to be a country where we can do this much longer.” And John Fetter said, “Make no mistake: we are entering into dystopian times here. If he’s allowed to continue on this track, God save the USA.”

Protesters told News 3’s Eden Hodges there was no single organizer that rallied they to come out. They heard about the protest online and met Saturday.

“Our country was founded on protest,” McCallie-Steller said. “I think I want to show young people and other people that are sitting at home not knowing what to do that we have a voice.”

Cristy Baker said, “I believe in America. I believe in equality, justice and the unyeilding pursuit of freedom.”

Protesters said the moves made by the White House and Musk’s new government department have made them worried about the fate of their country. Fetter said, “Every week there’s something different going on.” And McCallie-Steller added, “We have a constitution for a reason. They’re not following it. They’re not respecting the three branches of government. If you want to find waste, do it the right way.”

Demonstrators said they hope their display could draw more supporters to their cause and encourage a boycott on Tesla sales. Dalton Peppers said, “You can’t make them change their mind. You can only speak out and tell them exactly what’s the truth.”

The group told News 3 they have plans to protest in Forsyth Park next Saturday.
