A driver waves in support of Ridgway resident Gerry Ketchum’s message during a rally for democracy held Saturday morning along Sherman Street by Hartwell Park. Ketchum was one of about 40 participants at the rally, in which community members expressed concerns about current events including everything from mass firings in the federal government to Elon Musk’s influence on decisionmakers.
