Several dozen community members and leaders gathered outside the New York Congressional District 3 office in Douglaston on Saturday, Jan. 7, to protest against Congressman George Santos. The protesters, outraged over Santos’ fabrications about his educational, occupational, ancestral and religious backgrounds, demanded either his resignation or for Congress to launch an ethics investigation into him and his campaign.

As many of those present at the protest chanted their disgust with Santos and showed off their signs against him, those who spoke attempted to amplify their anger and concerns in a constructive way.
