Supporting Tesla is bad for democracy. Musk's lawless actions are dangerous and won't be tolerated.
A peaceful protest. Will not enter the business. Will not block customers. No aggressive words or actions. Stay on the public sidewalk. See orange-vested staff about any issues. Police will be on-site to keep the peace.
SAFETY: Do not engage with anyone. Simply turn your back on anyone trying to interrupt, incite or cause problems. Engaging is not only dangerous, but may be used against our protest. For instance, videos can be distorted online. Let police deal with them.
Went off exactly as planned. About 200 friendly enthusiastic protesters, carrying signs and chatting about what they don't like about Trump/Musk. Thousands of friendly drivers passing by, beeping in support, waving and cheering. People wandering around handing out free flyers, stickers, buttons, etc. Very occasionally, a Trump fan drove by, scowling and looking uncomfortable. No counter-protesters at all. Wrapped up promptly at 3pm and everyone walked back to their cars in the nearby designated parking lots. All in all, a VERY good, pleasant, empowering experience. I'd have been perfectly comfortable bringing kids, or even babies in strollers. A fun, exciting outing, with lots of people with colorful signs and some in colorful outfits. And a chance to see democracy in action!
There are LOTS of rallies next Saturday.
April 5 is a nationally organized collection of "Hands Off!" rallies.
In all major cities across the country, plus lots of smaller towns.
You can join a rally in
Media, West Chester, Delco, Reading, Doylestown, Quakertown,
Newark, Newtown, Middletown, Kutztown, Allentown, Bethlehem, Trenton,
Princeton, etc.
I'm guessing a couple hundred people at each.
All different times of day, in case you want to go to multiple
events.
And of course, the BIG ones in Philly (noon), DC (noon), and NYC (1pm),
which should each be thousands or tens of thousands of people.
For info, see the
Indivisible events site,

"Hands Off rally"
And for the bicyclists... Don't miss the 10am "People Not Parties" bike ride from Rittenhouse Square to various "places of power", ending at City Hall just in time for the "Hands Off!" rally. See the last slide of the album or slideshow for details.

Right at a major intersection, so cars had to wait for the light and
had LOTS of time to wave and cheer

I made this sign for the 1/20/2018 Women's March in Philly.
Been carrying it at protests, marches and rallies ever since.
One sign says it all.
Calling someone a "trump" is the lowest form of insult.
He's a totally dishonorable person.
Poisoned the minds of 30% of US voters.
They revel in being dishonorable with him.
Disgusting!...
