Join The Next Protest In Tucson!
Save our Social Security!

WHEN: Saturday, April 26, 8:30 am – 10:00 am.

WHERE: Social Security Administration Building (SSA) at 3808 N 1st Avenue (north of Prince). 

PARKING: The SSA is on the east side of 1st Ave. The street that borders Sonic Drive-in (Sonic is the next building south of SSA) is Pastime Rd. There is plenty of parking on Pastime Rd. east of 1st and particularly west of 1st. There is also parking north of SSA on Knox Drive east or west.  Additionally, behind the SSA building there is a fairly large parking lot.

WHO: Concerned Americans who live in Tucson, be they Republicans, Democrats, Independents, young and old, all colors and persuasions. 

WHY: The Trump administration is threatening our democracy and through our actions, we must protect it. Courts, Crowds and Courage are the 3 C's that will eventually make the difference come the November 2026 election. We win one of the houses of Congress and we can stop Trump's continuing effort to dismantle our Democracy. In the meantime, our protests (with our signs!) educate others, encourage them to join us, and give comfort to outspoken and brave politicians (Bernie, AOC, Murphy, Booker, Raskin) and members of the legal profession that we have their backs.  Arizona AG Kris Mayes has said our protests mean a lot to her.

YOUR ROLE: Time to make some new signs!  “People NEEDS over Billionaire GREED!” “I'm for Medicaid!” “Save our Social Security!” You guys are creative so let those juices flow!  Bring some of your “used” signs as well! Join us, and please spread the word among your group members, friends and relatives. 

BACKGROUND: We clearly, along with so many others across the Nation, have done significant damage to Musk's reputation and business. Though at some point we might return to the Tesla site, right now we feel the mood is to change venues and focus on specific Trump/Musk actions that will hurt so many people, namely cuts in Social Security services and Medicaid.

SAFETY:  Our main safety message is as follows. DO NOT CROSS THE STREET. There is no crosswalk and the traffic is continuous; it is dangerous to stand in the middle turn lane.  Please stay on the same side that you parked your car.  DO NOT CROSS THE 1ST AVE STREET PLEASE.

If you park west of 1st, remain and protest on the sidewalk west of 1st, that is across the street from SSA. We need people on both sides of 1st with their signs.

We will have Vets for Peace and Peacemakers. The Tucson Police will be informed. One or two medics will be in attendance. Take pictures of vehicles or people who are in any way threatening and let Phin know.

Please do not engage MAGA types (e.g. yell or give the finger back). Except for crossing, stay off the streets and stay on the sidewalks. Do note, all of our rallies thus far have been joyful, great honking support from drivers, and safe.
