 April 4, 2024- Judge Norton wouldn't grant our motion, but we feel someone needs to stand up for the people of Daniel Island so we'll be substituting a small, rapid turnover demonstration smack in the middle of downtown Daniel Island for our original planned demonstration. Read the details https://mailchi.mp/59601203e3ec/speed-dating-for-social-justice-wo-nancy-mace-will-substitute-for-denied-demonstration-on-daniel-is-on-apr-8?e=f71545c879

April 5, 2024 promises to be a busy day for Social Justice. At least four demonstrations are planned around the Lowcountry including Ace Mace demonstration outside the office of Nancy Mace on Daniel Island from 1 to 4 pm, a  demonstration on Hutchison Square in Downtown Summerville. This is the Lowcountry's busiest tourism weekend and a prime opportunity for national witness that we are a real, vital community that is no longer content to stumble forward towards a future as "Confederate Disneyland."

March 29, 2025 Lowcountry Up is Good files suit against the City of Charleston in Federal District Court to obtain court approval for April 5, 2025 demonstration outside the Daniel Island office of Nancy Mace. Read the press release. 

March 28 - First "Cadet Mace Tolerates Those Who Do" buttons distributed at Mount Pleasant Town hall skipped by Rep. Nancy Mace. Image of design on right. Try to pick one up at some of the upcoming progressive events in her Congressional district. Mace began her tenure in Congress by voting to impeach lame duck President Trump in 2021, but now she's a believer. As a cadet she subscribed to the Citadel Honor Code which says, "A Cadet will not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do." Mace the first female graduate of the Citadel, whose father was the Commandant of the Citadel has abandoned those core values for a more flexible approach that if Trump can help me get the  Republican nomination for Governor, anything he does is good. Like our Senator Lindsey Graham, who ran against trump in the Republican prirmaries in 2016, the rabid red base has persuaded her to abandon her core values, making a mockery of the Citadel and her fellow cadets. 

March 28- Maceless Town Hall Held in Mount Pleasant. Huge, orderly assembly of Citizens demands better reorientation from US Representative Nancy Mace (R, SC-!) in packed Town Hall Meeting in Mount Pleasant. Meeting ends with stirring rendition of America the Beautiful from crowd. Mace dismisses gathering as "fake news" and unsafe, insulting constituents in Mt. Pleasant. 

March 17 2025- Application for police permit for Ace Mace- Chimp and Charge Demonstration filed with Charleston PD.

Pettigru Free Speech Defense Reactivates in Charleston, SC - Pettigrew Free Speech Defense (https://www.facebook.com/petigru.free.speech.def) will be reactivated by Lowcountry Up is Good, PAC, Inc. to provide legal cover for resistance Free Speech activities.
