STAY ALERT- if Trump acts today before 2pm our time, then we will meet at City Hall at 5pm. If he acts today after 2pm, we will meet at Dallas City Hall tomorrow at NOON. Check news and email and texts. Use this text to hear directly from us here in Dallas.

Let's hope he will not act but we need to be ready. This rally will be peaceful and constructive. We want signs that say things like: Respect the Rule of Law, USA is a nation of laws; Support the Balance of Power; Trump is not above the law; Listen to our Demands; Call your congressman NOW!

No violent signs or action are allowed as agreed by all who signed up around the country. If others go to the streets, that's OK. Ours is a scheduled coordinated effort to have the greatest effect - there are over 30 cities/towns in Texas participating.
