"We should catch his arrival at the Intrepid, where we are meeting up with the Working Families Party and will go on till 7. Take the afternoon off from work if you can, if not join us later.

He will apparently go from the Intrepid to Trump Tower, where he will be met by New York State Immigrant Action Fund/New York Immigration Coalition. On Friday he is going to his golf course in Bedminster NJ, where we are planning an action too."
