UPDATE #2:
SAFETY
You are responsible for your own safety. We are expecting a large crowd, including counter-protesters.
To all participants: We ask that you NOT talk to or engage with Trump supporters or counter-protesters, including any representatives of Infowars or related right-wing “media” outlets that may show up. Instead, please block them with your signs, or umbrellas. Or simply walk away.
Infowars seeks to provoke conflict and create emotionally charged situations that make it more difficult to maintain a non-violent and safe atmosphere. They also use filmed interactions to target and harass those who engage with them. If approached by them, we encourage you to simply say, “I will not talk to you. Leave me alone.” Repeat this phrase over and over if necessary (this is called a “broken record” response.) Please encourage those around you to do likewise.
If at any time you feel your safety is at risk, please leave the event. If you have any concerns about attending, please err on the side of caution and stay home.
LAWYER’S GUILD HOTLINE
In case of arrests or other legal matters, keep this number handy: (512) 817-4254.
TIME & PLACE
WHEN: Trump’s is expected to arrive at the airport at 1:20 p.m., and at Flextronics at 2:05. But given road closures and general unpredictability of presidential schedules, arriving around noon is the safest bet to ensure parking. Just arrive when you can and stay as long as you can. Your support is appreciated even if you don’t overlap with the plant visit.
WHERE: Riata Trace shopping plaza (12221 Riata Trace Pkwy). It’s the first (and only) turn off Riata Trace Pkwy, near the 183 access road.
SIGNS
Our main focus is impeachment. Ambassador Sondland testified just this morning that there was quid pro quo. Trump is trying to distract us with a shiny APPLE when he should be imPEACHed.
But bring whatever signs you feel called to bring, on whichever of Trump’s many offenses.
UPDATE#1: Based on best guesses, we're changing the time to NOON to 5 p.m. Trump could arrived at any time in that window and possibly later.
Also: The Austin Business Journal reports that Jared, Ivanka, Steven Mnuchin, and Larry Kudlow will be part of Trump's entourage.
*WATCH FOR UPDATES AS TIMES AND PLACES MAY CHANGE*
Donald Trump is coming to Austin on Wednesday to tour one of Apple’s local manufacturing plants. Tell Trump that he is NOT welcome in our town.
Meet on the public sidewalk at the shopping center at 12221 Riata Trace Pkwy. This is a half block from the Flextronics building Trump is likely to tour.
Organizers will be there to guide you from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or until we know Trump has left.
Details are still being sorted. Watch this space for more updates.
