Saturday - Screening of Bob Avakian talk on The Trump/Pence Regime, a fascist regime

Received from The BA Institute:

___________________________________ The Bob Avakian Institute invites you to a screening and discussion of: “The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE To Accept a Fascist America. A Better World IS Possible.”  A film of a talk by Bob Avakian Saturday, December 30, 2017 5:00 p.m. The Peace Center 3916 Sepulveda Blvd. Culver City, CA  90230 directions (between Venice and Washington Blvd.) In this hour long talk, Avakian addresses the most important question of the day: how to understand, and what to do about, the threat to humanity itself posed by the Trump/Pence regime. He explains how this is in fact a fascist regime and traces its roots — the deeper and more immediate causes of its rise to power.  In it, BA makes the case for massive, sustained nonviolent outpourings of the people as crucial to creating a situation where this regime could be removed from power. Bob Avakian provides the kind of rigorous analysis and understanding, along with great heart, that can inform a fully commensurate response.   Please join us, to watch this talk together, to get into discussion with others and to learn more about the work of The Bob Avakian Institute.

Refuse A Fascist Theocracy! Tuesday, December 12th 6 - 9 PM Hollywood & Highland   #NoMoore! Refuse A Fascist Theocracy! End Sexual Predation and the Enslavement of Women This Nightmare Must End: The Trump Regime Must Go! Protest Everywhere December 12 On Tuesday December 12, a high-stakes election is taking place in Alabama between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones. Roy Moore is a Christian fascist theocrat who has twice been removed as a judge for attempting to remove the separation between church & state by placing “Biblical Law” above Constitutional protections . He has galvanized a fascist base & has been endorsed by an admitted sexual-predator, Donald Trump. Some of Moore’s most powerful supporters have declared that even if the allegations that he sexually molested girls are true, he should still be elected to the Senate. Others have even used the Bible to justify Moore’s predation of young girls. It is dangerous that Moore is being treated as a “legitimate” candidate & that even most criticism of him ignores his role in setting up a theocratic government. Trump, Pence and Roy Moore represent an unholy American fascism; rooted in white supremacy, patriarchy, extreme religious fundamentalism, and America-First chauvinism. Trump has packed the federal courts with right-wing judges and filled his cabinet with religious fanatics. Mike Pence opposes abortion and birth control; as Indiana governor he oversaw the imprisonment of Purvi Patel for allegedly self-inducing an abortion. The election of Moore would represent an extremely dangerous leap in the consolidation of fascism in America. Even if defeated, Moore's campaign has accelerated the mainstreaming and normalization of theocratic fascism. Here are just a few examples of Roy Moore’s outrageous history: - Moore installed a two-ton monument of the 10 Commandments on Alabama Supreme Court property and defied orders from a higher court to remove it. For this he was removed from the bench. - Moore was removed a second time from the bench for ordering judges in Alabama to defy the Supreme Court by refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Moore said the Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage was “worse” than the pro-slavery Dred Scott decision of 1857. - Moore wants to criminalize abortion in all circumstances. - Moore has promoted the racist, xenophobic lie that Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. Millions of people do NOT want to live in Moore's kind of society, and feel it is a nightmare. We must reach them and challenge them to act. Everyday this regime is in power they are hammering their agenda into place & it becomes normalized. Waiting for elections in 2018 or 2020 endangers humanity. The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! Only the people acting in our millions in determined & continuous protest can end the nightmare. On December 12 all those who want this nightmare to end-- Take to the streets to demand that the Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!— In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America.
