In response to KKK propaganda being found on her farm’s driveway in late October, Rosemary Lawler designed and hung a banner that read “No Trump, No KKK, No Racist Fascist USA” in early November. It was stolen the morning after it was placed, causing Lawler to create 15 more banners and over 100 bumper stickers. After someone filed a complaint with Loudoun County about her signs, Lawler, whose father was held as prisoner in a concentration camp during WWII, has applied for a permit to hang her banner.
