DESCRIPTION:FIGHT THE TRUMP TAKEOVER - Protests in SF Bay Area and beyond\n\nSave Our 
 Freedom to Vote! Save Democracy!\n\nSaturday, Aug. 16th\n\nJoin a protest, 
 go here: https://www.mobilize.us/fightthetrumptakeover/\n\nAlso here: 
 https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/teslatakedown\n\n\nOn Saturday, 
 August 16, people across the country will take to the streets for a 
 nationwide nonviolent mass mobilization called Stop the Trump 
 Takeover!\n\nDonald Trump wants to steal the midterm elections and lock his 
 MAGA Republicans into permanent control of the House. His minions are 
 rigging our congressional maps to do it.\n\nTrump’s seat-stealing scheme 
 started in Texas, but it won’t stop there. Republican legislators in 
 Florida, Ohio, Missouri, and beyond are already lining up to rig their 
 maps, as well. But we’re fighting back with all we’ve got -- not just 
 in Texas, but across America.\n\nThis is really about the future of our 
 democracy. Trump is terrified of the American people. He knows he can’t 
 win on his ideas, so he’s trying to take Congress by hook or by 
 crook--and he’s doing it by silencing the voices of communities of color. 
 We’re not going to let that happen.\n\nJoin a protest on this Aug 16th 
 nationwide day of action to Fight the Trump Takeover.
