LWVAC is launching a "What You Can Do" (WYCD) campaign where we share a series of action plans. With so much happening on the national stage, these action plans are intended to encourage you to respond to the daily breach of the rule of law and the separation of powers. Read more about this campaign here. Skip to the current action by clicking here.
CURRENT TOPIC: Weekly Tesla Demonstrations
Tesla's billionaire CEO, Elon Musk, has been slashing government spending on behalf of President Donald Trump by gutting federal health, education and human services agencies as part of the White House's advisory commission called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. LWVAC and partner organizations are participating in weekly peaceful protests at the local Telsa dealership to demonstrate our displeasure with these actions.
CURRENT ACTION: Join the Demonstrations
Join the demonstrations at the Gainesville Tesla dealership, 2501 N. Main Street from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every Saturday until further notice.
LWVAC President Janice Garry said, "I just returned from protesting in front of the Tesla dealership at 2501 N. Main Street. There were over 100 protesters, twice as many as the prior week."
Protests will continue same time and place each Saturday until further notice. Follow the Gainesville Women for Democracy Facebook page for updates. Lots of energized protestors, lots of horn honking, lots of exposure! Join them!
