Activists are gearing up for President Trump’s arrival in Philadelphia on Thursday, Politico reports.
On Facebook, more than 3,000 people have said they will attend a Thursday morning protest opposing Republican-led efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Trump is set to speak at the GOP's annual congressional retreat in the city on the same day.
“Donald Trump, [Speaker] Paul Ryan [R-Wis.], and their billionaire friends have revealed their first act: take away our health care to provide tax cuts for their rich friends,” the event page says.
“We commit to take non violent direct action to resist any attempts to take away our healthcare.”
The Thursday protest won the support of the Women’s March's main Twitter account, which took to Twitter to encourage people to attend the demonstration.
