Last night, May 14, Trump, and several other Conservative guest speakers made a stop on the American Freedom Tour at the Austin Convention Center.
One of these protests, named “Trump Ain’t Welcome in Austin,” told protestors to show up to the convention center to tell Trump and event attendees that they, as the name proposes, “ain’t welcome in our city.”
According to a flier, the justification was“Two years after his failed coup attempt, Trump remains a free man, touring the country to drum up support for hatred, brutality, and his pathetic political career. The ‘American Freedom Tour’ is coming to the Austin Convention Center on May 14, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm. As it’s ending, come tell the parasitic treasonous moron and his addled fans that they aren’t welcome in our city,” the protest description declares.

“Bring anti-Trump, anti-racist, anti-fascist, patriotic, pro-gay, pro-trans, pro-immigrant, and pro-choice banners, and signs! Bring your friends! BYOG,” it continues, stating that the acronym means “bring your own guillotine.”

The protest’s Facebook page features a picture with the phrase “Nolite te bastardes carborundorum,” which comes from the Margaret Atwood novel “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
As Vanity Fair describes, “It’s a made-up phrase in mock Latin—a schoolboy’s joke, as it’s explained in both the novel and the series. If it were a real phrase, it would roughly translate to ‘don’t let the bastards grind you down.’”

Another protestor wrote on Twitter that she found out that Trump would be in town the same day while making signs for a “Bans Off Our Bodies” protest.
“Gotta double up on the protest signs,” she wrote.
The Bans Off Our Bodies protest is being put on by Planned Parenthood Texas and will take place only blocks away from the Austin Convention Center, where the American Freedom Tour is taking place.

Planned Parenthood declares on their website that they are offering free bus rides from Dallas, Waco, Houston, and Fort Worth to Austin for those interested in coming for the protest.
