ANN ARBOR, MI - A banner reading "Trump Says Women R Pigs. Disagree? Vote." will fly over Ann Arbor Saturday, Oct. 1.

UltraViolet Action, a national women's advocacy organization, has commissioned a plane to fly over Ann Arbor from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, according to a press release.

The banner refers to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's comments about women, whom he has called "pigs, "dogs" and "slobs," the release states.

On Friday, he tweeted about 1996 Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado, calling footage from a 2005 Spanish reality show a sex tape. In recent days, Trump has made comments about her weight.

Trump is visiting Michigan Friday, Sept. 30. He'll appear at a public rally at 5 p.m. at the Suburban Collection Showplace Novi.

The Trump campaign in Michigan was not immediately able to comment on the banner.

Ann Arbor is one of several locations UltraViolet has targeted for banners. Other cities include Columbus, Ohio; Iowa City, Iowa; Philadelphia; and Durham, North Carolina.

This isn't the first time UltraViolet has flown a banner over Ann Arbor.

In February, UltraViolet commissioned a plane to fly a banner bearing the message "Snyder poisoned kids in Flint @UltraViolet" over Ann Arbor ahead of the Michigan-Michigan State basketball game.

Progress Michigan has hired a plane to fly a banner Saturday over Ann Arbor bearing the message "Republicans Failed Flint" and "#FlintWaterCrisis."
