Protest at Treasury Dept, Tuesday at 5:00 pm., Washington D.C.

The plan, accordingly, is to show up and protest at the Treasury Department on Tuesday night, 5 p.m. local time, to draw attention to Musk's control over the federal government's payment system — control that Musk claims he has already used to illegally suspend congressionally authorized payments to religious groups that assist with refugee resettlement and to completely dismantle USAID, the federal agency responsible for international humanitarian assistance.

I heard about it on a webinar w/ Indivisible last night, but was waiting to see confirmation in writing, before I posted it.

Here is a link to the article in Salon.

Does that main the main Treasury building? Any idea which side?

I'm down to go, but I want to be better prepared.
