Organizers say a peaceful protest is planned for the Chattooga County Courthouse on Saturday.  WZQZ News has heard from several people who say that they plan to gather at the courthouse in honor of George Floyd who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer last week and to remember Ahmaud Aubrey who was shot and killed by two men in Georgia last month.

Local law enforcement has been supportive of the peaceful protests that have been held this week at the courthouse.  Sheriff Mark Schrader and Summerville Police have made it a point to come and speak to those who are exercising their First Amendment rights.

Reaction to the protesters has been mixed, but mostly supportive and positive.

Several people have said that they will be gathering at the courthouse this evening at 7 PM to pray for our nation.

WZQZ News has not been able to verify any credible source that would indicate any outside groups are planning on participating in the protest slated for this weekend.
