Indivisible Guilford County leads anti-war protest with 30 attendees on Wendover Avenue

About 30 to 40 residents marched along Wendover Avenue in Greensboro from about 11 a.m. to noon on Sunday, March 1, 2026, organizers said, carrying signs that read “No war” and “The constitution isn't fake” and calling for an end to U.S. military action on Iran. The event was organized by Indivisible Guilford County and lasted roughly one hour as protesters walked midday on Wendover Avenue.

Protesters framed the march as a response to what participants described as U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran the previous day, followed by reported Iranian missile and drone retaliation. The Yahoo/WFMY coverage cited President Donald Trump urging the Iranian people to “seize control of your destiny” by rising up against the country’s Islamic leadership, which has ruled since 1979, and said demonstrators accused the president of overstepping his authority.

Jim Saintsing, identified as the leader of Indivisible Guilford County, told reporters: “The Constitution says Congress has the power to declare war, not the president.” Saintsing also said, “This has been ignored for too many years. He's clearly doing it to distract from his problems at home, which I'll just name a couple. He is named multiple times in the Epstein files.” Local coverage reports those statements as part of the group's public remarks at the Wendover Avenue march.

WFMY News 2 reported it had reached out to the White House Press Office for comment and was awaiting a response. The outlet's reporting also described a separate demonstration organized by Indivisible Guilford County on the prior day, which it called “Rage Against the Regime” and placed on West Wendover Avenue on Saturday morning with an estimated attendance of about 100 protesters; that Saturday event was reported to address Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other Trump administration policies.

In addition to the two Greensboro demonstrations, WFMY reported a related rally at Halifax Mall in Raleigh organized by 50501 NC that addressed immigration enforcement, gun laws, reproductive rights, education, and LGBTQIA+ issues, and said 50501 NC coordinated additional protests in eastern and western North Carolina. Indivisible Guilford County’s description, as cited in the same reporting, characterizes the group as a local grassroots organization focused on voter participation and public demonstrations and advocating for a “more progressive, inclusive country.”

The record includes discrepancies that warrant clarification: the Sunday march on Wendover Avenue is reported at about 30 to 40 people, while the Saturday West Wendover Avenue action is reported at about 100 people; the two events differ in name and stated focus in the available accounts. Sources did not identify specific North Carolina political leaders who reacted to the Iran strikes, and no permit, police, traffic, arrest, or injury details were included in the reporting.

For now, the immediate local fact is clear: Indivisible Guilford County staged a midday, hour-long march on Wendover Avenue on March 1 with roughly three dozen participants pressing a constitutional argument about war powers and urging peace following the weekend’s international strikes. Media outlets covering the demonstrations await any official comment from the White House and have noted separate, larger protests the day before tied to broader policy grievances.
