November 4 It Begins This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! We stand on the edge of a deadly precipice. We are ruled by a bona fide fascist who is moving fast and hard to consolidate his regime. Should he succeed this will mean unprecedented suffering of many millions around the world. On Nov 4th in over 20 cities across the country, protests demanding the ouster of the Trump/Pence Regime are planned.  RefuseFascism.org is launching a movement of growing mass non-violent political protests that will not stop until the demand is met:  The Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! (See the ad at left, which was printed in the New York Times on November 1.) We'll hear from Andy Zee of RefuseFascism.org on the grave danger facing humanity, what is planned for November 4, and what's going on during the days and nights afterward. We'll also talk with Perry Hoberman, from Refuse Fascism LA, about what's happening in Los Angeles on November 4 and beyond. Find a protest in your area here.  In Los Angeles, gather at 1:00 pm, Pershing Square, 5th and Hill Sts,  Downtown LA. Contact Refuse Fascism Los Angeles: 323-946-1742,  SoCal@refusefascism.org For contact information in other areas, go to RefuseFascism.org. Lillian Hellman's Watch on the Rhine We'll also have a conversation with Susan Loewenberg, producer of an LA Theatre Works production of a play by Lillian Hellman, Watch on the Rhine, scheduled to open in 2018. The story begins in 1940. A German-born engineer and his American wife visit family in Washington, DC. They have been deeply involved in anti-Fascist activities in Spain and Germany. When something happens that imperils The Resistance, the family unflinchingly chooses to take great risks, and make great sacrifices for the fight against fascism, putting aside any consideration of "my life," "my career." Watch on the Rhine is both a lesson and a challenge to all living today.
