Protest Elon Musk and Trump at the Tucson Tesla Dealership this Saturday

Where: The four corners of Oracle and River roads near the Tesla dealership. When you arrive, join a corner with fewer protesters; we want the corners to have a relatively equal number of protesters.

Correction:
In a previous post I got the day and dates for the Ciscomani action wrong. I apologize. The protest is slated for March 20th at 10AM which is on a Thursday, next week.

Anti-Nuclear Protest Today
Although I disagree with this group’s opposition to nuclear power some of you may be supportive. This is from reporter Russ Wiles of the Arizona Republic:
“TEP, along with metro-Phoenix utilities Arizona Public Service and Salt River Project, announced that they are looking into the feasibility of building or operating a new reactor in Arizona to help meet the state's growing energy needs.a grassroots group is planning a protest in Tucson on the 14th anniversary of the start of the Fukushima accident in Japan.
The Nuclear Resister, which bills itself as an educational group opposed to nuclear power and weapons, said it plans to hold a curbside press conference and demonstration at 12:15 p.m. Tuesday in front of the downtown headquarters of Tucson Electric Power near Broadway Road and Sixth Avenue. The group advocates for a "nuclear-free future" with nonviolent protests and other actions.”

One other really important thing we can do to end Musk's toxic influence is to boycott X... This 'Anti-Social' media propaganda site has done more damage to our Country than the money he's made from Tesla. So even if you don't post on the site, stop clicking and reading the posts... If all of his enterprises started 'rapid unscheduled disassembly', perhaps he'd vanish from politics...
Ciscomani protest-Yes. He has committed acts to justify protesting. The Tesla employees and cars have done no harm. In fact, they contribute to a cleaner environment.
There have already been violent acts against Tesla showrooms, charging stations and individual's vehicles. Do not, by staging a protest contribute to stimulating further violence.
