Students are rising, help take it further!

Join RefuseFascism.org this Saturday, March 24, in reaching out to the nationwide marches and rallies against gun violence.

It is good that young people are lifting their heads and demanding change. But, to quote Bob Dylan: “Let us not talk falsely here, the hour is getting late.”
Through no fault of their own, this new generation is coming of age not only in an era of mass shootings, but even more profoundly, at a time when there is a fascist regime in the White House. The Trump/Pence Regime is threatening the future of all of humanity – with their dangerous moves towards nuclear war, their acceleration of environmental destruction, their white supremacy and xenophobic ethnic cleansing, their assault on women and LGBTQ people, and more.
For this reason, humanity needs this generation to stand up against and play a key role in ending much more than school shootings. This new generation has a key role to play in the fight to drive out the Trump/Pence Regime.
Now, we ask you to join RefuseFascism.org in marching together and spreading this unique message at these marches in an even bigger way this weekend.
Join the Refuse Fascism - LA contingent:
8 AM – 5th and Hill (in front of the Metro Red Line Station).  Also look for the Refuse Fascism booth at 1st & Broadway, across the street from LA City Hall. (For more info:  323.946.1742 or socal@refusefascism.org)
> > Donate $25 today. Funds will pay for student organizing kits, stickers & posters. Your donation will go to assist students lwho want to organize their peers RIGHT NOW into a movement to drive this regime from power. 

During last Wednesday's nationwide walk-outs, young people were incredibly enthusiastic about this message. They took up signs, flyers, stickers, chants and cheered when we called on them to join in driving out the regime in order to stand with the people of the world, our immigrant sisters and brothers, and more.

Watch this speech by a RefuseFascism.org high school organizer at her high school's walk-out:

Join us on Saturday March 24, from 6 PM-9 PM at Church in Ocean Park (235 Hill St, Santa Monica, CA 90405for a showing of the film of a talk by Bob Avakian: 
THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO!
In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America.
A Better World IS Possible
This film will address:
  • How serious a threat does the Trump/Pence regime pose to humanity? Could fascism really happen here?
  • What is the character of the regime - is it fascist, and if it is, what are the implications?
  • What are the roots of this regime? Is it a terrible aberration, “more of the same”… or something different still?
  • What must be done to stop it? How?
  • Is a better world possible?
  • These questions, whether spoken or implicit, lie at the bottom of nearly every political debate and discussion today. Bob Avakian, in his filmed talk on the Trump/Pence regime, addresses those questions from a lofty level, with a penetrating scientific approach, and with a depth of compassion and breadth of humanity that is unique. 
The film of Bob Avakian's new speech addresses the most urgent question of the day: how to understand, and what to do about, the threat to humanity itself posed by the Trump/Pence regime.  This talk -- from the most radical revolutionary on the planet -- makes the case in a compelling way for massive, sustained, nonviolent outpourings, involving diverse perspectives, and continuing until the demand is met: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!  

Avakian traces the roots of the regime -- the deeper and more immediate causes of its rise to power.  This hour-long speech is full of substance and heart.  See trailer below.

Light refreshments will be provided and donations are most welcome but there is no door charge.
