Concord city officials said they're aware of a planned protest over North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper's modified stay-at-home order to control the spread of COVID-19.
CONCORD, N.C. — Officials in Concord, North Carolina, issued a statement saying they were aware of a "Trash the Mask" event being organized by anti-mask advocates at Concord Mills Mall Friday.
The event, which was organized on Facebook by Amy Moore Benjamin and a group called Trump Event Images, is in response to Gov. Roy Cooper's new COVID-19 restrictions, including the statewide nightly curfew that begins Friday. North Carolina is experiencing a major surge in COVID-19 cases that health officials project will only get worse as more infections linked to Thanksgiving are reported.
...
Organizers asked supporters to show up at Concord Mills and meet in the food court Friday evening before going shopping, all while not wearing face masks.
The event was originally scheduled for Friday night at 6:30 p.m. but was apparently moved to an earlier time, presumably because of the media attention.
In November, Cooper issued an executive order that tightened North Carolina's mandate on face masks
...
The event gained a lot of attention on social media since Thursday. As of 11 a.m. Friday, more than 50 people RSVP'd on Facebook and over 200 have shown interest in the event.

This is how it will start. Good on them.
Love to see the message spread.
Its been 14 days since Thanksgiving...there is no surge beyond what was already supposedly happening.
Its all bs.
Shouldn’t this be in General Chat like the PA restaurant story?
New propaganda: Only The COVID Pure Will Inherit The Earth
So, Karen...their actions aren’t activism?
Apparently only NC activism actions are considered worthy of “news” these days,.
PA activism gets buried in General Chat without explanation.
Activism is activism.
‘This is how it will start. Good on them.’
yes; but we are awash in a sea of ninnies, who are keen on snitching on their neighbors...we’ll never get out from under them...
Lets pick a day where every one of Trump’s disenfranchised voters goes out unmasked and shouts enough
Never mind...my bad. Didn’t realize you’d been gigged by the moderator in your thread. Doesn’t make sense, but I’m just a guest.
And you’re not a Karen.
Thanks...no offense taken.
I knew my record would speak for itself!
I think you missed his point.
I was slow to the party...realised the error of my ways...and apologized.
I saw, and I was even slower. ;)
In before the Freeper Mask Nazis tell us to “just wear the damn thing!”
Shouldn’t you be in bed like all the other crybabies?
My bad. There’s so many Karens around here these days I didn’t realize you were being sarcastic.
