Come protest tRump in Reno, NV, on Wednesday 08/23/17

While Gov. Brian Sandoval will be greeting President Donald tRump when Air Force One lands on Wednesday, multiple protest groups confirmed they will also be gathering to meet tRump when he arrives at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

As of Tuesday morning, the following organizations were expected to be a part of the ninth protest in Reno to take place since tRump took office:

* Black Lives Matter Reno-Sparks
* Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada Action Fund
* Northern Nevada Working Families
* Northern Nevada Progressive Coalition
* Northern Nevada Marches Forward Together
* Progressive Democrats of America, Reno
* Battle Born Progress
* Indivisible Northern Nevada
* Get Involved Nevada
* Nevada Advocates for Planned Parenthood Affiliates


Organizers stressed the protest would be a peaceful event.

According to the three Facebook event pages for the protests, around 300 people said they were attending and over 700 people said they were interested in the event as of Tuesday morning.

tRump's visit comes 10 days after the Charlottesville protests and his comments in which he said there were "fine people" among the white supremacist protesters. - RGJ.com
