This post has been updated to included the agreed upon meeting spot of the Philadelphia Socialist Alternative.

Anti-Trump activists are prepared with a week’s worth of events, from workshops to demonstrations to dance parties, to protest the Republican Retreat in Philadelphia. The GOP and President Trump are making their way into the city today and will spend Wednesday through Friday at the Loews Hotel.

The primary demonstrations will take place around the hotel and will concern the planned repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania claims will put seniors, children, people with disabilities and working class families at risk of losing access to affordable healthcare.

Here are all the events planned for this week. If you know about others, please let us know at news@billypenn.com:
