Groups planning to protest President Biden's Austin visit Monday

Several groups are planning to protest the president's Austin visit.

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- President Joe Biden is making a stop in Austin Monday to speak at an event commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act.

Biden will deliver remarks at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library. The visit coincides with the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where Republicans will discuss their party platform and are expected to formally nominate former president Donald Trump as the party's presidential candidate.

Several groups are planning to protest Biden's Austin visit, according to an Instagram post co-created by multiple Instagram accounts, including the following: Austin for Palestine Coalition, Palestinian Youth Movement, Jewish Voice for Peace Austin, Palestine Solidarity Committee, Austin With Palestine, and Party for Socialism & Liberation Austin.

Biden's visit comes on the heels of a June 27 debate performance against Trump that led some Congressional Democrats, starting with U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, to call on Biden to withdraw from the race for president.

Biden's appearance also follows several protests held on the University of Texas at Austin's campus earlier this year, which primarily stood against the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and called for the college administration to “divest from death” by ending contracts with companies supplying the Israel Defense Force’s (IDF) war in Gaza.

The groups planning to protest Monday, accuse Biden of "funding Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people," and saying he is not welcome here.

The protest is planned for 11 a.m. but the location is not yet determined.
