Two groups held separate rallies for and against planning commission member Ryan Kelley at Allendale Community Park on Oct. 24, 2020.
ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Allendale was once again where political activism took center stage Saturday in Allendale, as two groups held separate rallies for and against planning commission member Ryan Kelley.
Commission Member Ryan Kelley has been the center of controversy since appearing on stage this past summer with men who would later be arrested in the plot to abduct Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
On Saturday, supporters of Kelley filled one side of Allendale Community Park. The other side of the park was people calling for his immediate removal.
And at the opposite end of Allendale Community Park, twas the group Justice for Black Lives, a Grand Rapids-based organization aiming to make legislative and community-based changes for people of color. They say calling Kelley a victim of circumstance is a cop-out.
