Lyndhurst Weekly Tesla Protest - Week 65 - Don't Stop!

May Meeting May 14, at 6:30pm - Cafeteria of St. Ignatius of Antioch, 10205 Lorain Avenue.

Guest Speaker: Judge William Vodrey, Court of Common Pleas, who will discuss President Trump and the Rule of Law: Obedience to the rule of law is a fundamental precept of American democracy. Every President swears an oath to "faithfully execute the Office of President [and] preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." The Constitution further requires that "he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Since his inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, there has been a firestorm of controversy over President Trump's decisions, and strong disagreement as to whether or not he has been true to his oath of office so far in his second term.

Please bring nonperishable food items to donate to the food bank housed at St. Ignatius.

May Meeting - Thursday, May 14 - 630pm - Cretan Party Center - 3853 W 168th St, Cleveland

Guest Speaker: State Representative Bride Rose Sweeney, who is running to be our next State Senator. She'll help us set the stage for November and give us insight into what's going on in Columbus. With this information we can prepare for the upcoming marathon that is the General Election.

Please join us as we gather each week from noon to 2:00 pm in front of Tesla Motors, 5180 Mayfield Rd, Lyndhurst.

What began as a protest against Elon Musk when he worked with/for Trump last year has expanded to a protest against the administration's domestic and foreign policies. The Tesla Motors site is a high visibility location for protest because of the number of cars passing by on Saturdays.
