In Los Angeles, City Attorney Michael Feuer is currently criminally prosecuting 11 people for participating in or supporting such meaningful and much needed political protests against the Trump/Pence regime for its real crimes against humanity, including political protests which have been seen by millions.

Join us in packing the court room & demanding the city attorney drop all charges against ALL defendants.

The multiple misdemeanor charges stem from arrests originating from a public challenges to the fascist Treasury Secretary Steve "Mouse" Mnuchin as well as Rahm Emanuel (Mayor of Chicago) at UCLA.  These actions were sounding the alarm about a fascist regime, and aimed to build a movement to drive out the regime.

These prosecutions come at a crucial moment when millions are recognizing and are agonizing over the danger the Trump Pence regime poses to humanity, and are being challenged to step out of the normal channels of political action and act in meaningful ways, including, mass non-violent and sustained political protests in the face of the unrelenting, escalating actions including the existential threats to humanity and the planet from the Trump/Pence regime. The demand to stop these prosecutions is part of building the movement to drive out the Trump Pence Regime.

-> Call the LA City Attorney at 213-978-8100 to demand ALL the charges against ALL defendants be dropped
--> Invite the defendants to speak in your school class, or to your organization, group, association or union.
--> Donate funds to help with legal expenses and to help notify millions of these cases and promote the demand to DROP THE CHARGES!  (donate.refusefascism.org/RefuseFascismSoCal)

October 6—On Saturday afternoon, the full Senate voted 50-48 to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s fascist nominee, to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh was sworn in a short time later. As this was taking place, hundreds angrily protested and denounced Kavanaugh’s appointment, including on the steps of the Supreme Court. In this light, we are reposting this article:

"Brett Kavanaugh represents a grave threat to the future of humanity, and his nomination to the Supreme Court should be thoroughly rejected. As we have written:

"Brett Kavanaugh has a long ugly history in both the executive and judicial branches of the U.S. government in pursuing a reactionary Christian fascist agenda. This proven public record is why his nomination to the Supreme Court should be and must be stopped. Kavanaugh played a thoroughly reactionary role in the Republi-fascist Starr Commission’s inquisitional attempt to impeach Bill Clinton in the 1990s. As a member of the Bush regime he justified torture. Later he said that the president should be immune from prosecution.

These charges against the #Freeway9 and UCLA protesters are greasing the skids for fascism.  Fighting these charges is integral to developing the movement to drive out the Trump/Pence regime.
