SATURDAY - 2PM @ MacArthur Park - #OUTNOW - The Trump Pence Regime Must Go NOW! FRIDAY - Tune into The Michael Slate Show

From RefuseFascism.org: Saturday October 26 - #OutNow Comes Back Into the Streets to say: Trump & Pence Must Go - NOW! Los Angeles 2:00 pm MacArthur Park, 7th and Alvarado The #OutNow Movement – launched through protests last Saturday in Los Angeles and New York demanding the removal of the Trump/Pence regime – will spread to nationwide protests this Saturday, October 26, and the following three Saturdays. The #OUTNOW Movement is staging these protests to spark an ongoing movement of mass, nonviolent protests across the country that do not stop until the Trump/Pence regime is driven from power. As Cornel West put it on a segment of Don Lemon’s show discussing Trump’s claim that he was a victim of a “lynching,” “If things don't work the way the system is, we gotta hit the street, we gotta go to jail. That's exactly what #OutNow is all about. Next Saturday, every Saturday, it's gonna be like Puerto Rico, it's gonna be like Hong Kong. The people have to speak with their feet if the electoral/political system is too weak.” Saturday October 26 #OutNOW protests: Ann Arbor/Detroit11:00 am Russell Street @ Fisher Service Drive Atlanta 2:00 pm Piedmont Park 10th Street near Monroe Dr. Boston 12:00 pm Copley Square Cleveland 1:00 pm Market Square West 25th St & Lorain Avenue Chicago 1:00 pm Millennium Park Honolulu 4:00 pm Island-wide banner drops and sign-holdings Houston 3:00 pm Westheimer & Post Oak Road Indianapolis 11:00 am Soldiers & Sailors Monument Los Angeles 2:00 pm MacArthur Park, 7th and Alvarado New York City 2:00 pm Union Square @14th Street Philadelphia 2:00 pm Love Park San Francisco 1:00 pm 24th & Mission Seattle 6:00 pm University District, University Way & NE Campus Pkwy Washington DC 5:30 pm Union Station; march to Capitol & White House In the battle over impeachment, one side – Trump’s side - is upturning norms and procedures. Trump, who has inspired fascist thugs who target people of color and Jewish and LGBTQ people, has not only called the impeachment inquiry a “lynching.” He has sent his lawyers into court to argue that no branch of government has the authority to investigate him, even if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue. He has threatened civil war if he is impeached and labeled his opponents and critics as being traitors and “human scum.” His Republican minions stormed into and disrupted the impeachment inquiry and were even allowed to order pizza while doing it. For their part, the Democrats have made clear that they are impeaching only on narrow grounds of national security, election integrity, and obstruction of justice. This approach would leave intact, and in fact legitimize, the full fascist program of the Trump/Pence regime. Further, the Trump/Pence regime has made repeatedly clear that they will not respect the lawful impeachment process anyhow. All this underscores why those in the #OUTNOW Movement feel it is up to the people to "take history into our own hands, turning dread for the future into a force for hope" by driving out the Trump/Pence regime through mass, nonviolent protests. Andy Zee, spokesperson for RefuseFascism.org, spoke to the urgency of mass, sustained protest at the New York march, when he said: “the image of #OUTNOW that was in front of the Trump Tower has to be seen all over the world. This regime should not go on one day longer. 2020 is too late. We’re not here to follow that routine of assemble, march, go home and live your life. We have to get out and stay in the streets, disrupt business as usual, not only for ourselves but because humanity demands it.” Saturday October 19, Trump Tower, NYC

October 19 represented an important beginning to the #OutNow movement: a rally and march in NY with Cornel West and Andy Zee announcing that we will stay in the streets and grow, in sustained mass protest until this regime is driven from power.  In LA, there was a very serious, dangerous bear spray attack by MAGA fascists while the police stood by! These forces are being cohered as shock troops for the whole looming battle over the fate of the Trump/Pence Regime.

Bear Spray on #OutNOW Protesters? Oh, hell no

From RefuseFascism:     We are so proud of every single one of you who was part of launching the #OUTNOW movement last Saturday to demand that: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go – NOW! Our beautiful voices and energy filled with people of different backgrounds, ages, countries of origin, and outlooks filled the streets of New York and rallied in Santa Monica all united in the single demand: Trump/Pence #OUTNOW! Part of protest at Trump Tower Saturday

LA:  Spelling Out #OutNow! on Santa Monica beach

Now, we are calling on you to help step up this struggle – coming out in the streets nationwide this Saturday, October 26 to take this movement further. We plan to continue until the regime is removed from power. Join us in the streets this Saturday October 26 to say #OUTNOW > > Find (or plan) a protest in your area These protests became even more urgent after the violent assault on our protest in Santa Monica on Saturday. Did you hear? Some MAGA maniacs violently assaulted our rally on the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles. They tackled protesters to the ground and then assaulted them with BEAR SPRAY! Can you believe that?  >>   Bear spray; protester being given first aid for pepper spray to his face Unfortunately, we can believe it. It was Trump who whipped up mobs of his supporters by longing for the days when protesters “were carried out on stretchers.” Just the other day, at a Trump rally in Texas, one of his warm-up speakers declared that liberals “are not our opponents, they are our enemy.” During the whole assault, the police stood aside and did nothing! This, too, is part of a sinister pattern. The LAPD has targeted, spied on, and wrongfully arrested members of RefuseFascism.org. And, as seen in his recent Minneapolis rally where a large contingent of “COPS FOR TRUMP” turned out, Trump has been consciously fostering and unleashing a growing section of law enforcement to act as part of enforcing his agenda. On Wednesday's #OUTNOW Webinar, you'll have a chance to hear directly from some of the courageous protesters who were assaulted but are not backing down. And you'll learn more about how you can help build the #OUTNOW movement. If you register, you have the option of listening on a phone.   You can also watch it on Facebook Live > > Wednesday October 23 9:00 pm EDT Register now. This fascist assault and the complicity of the police proves how right we are to be standing up together to demand the removal now of the Trump/Pence Regime. These assaults are part of the rise of fascism – along with the concentration camps at the border, the war on women's reproductive rights, the shredding of environmental regulations and more – that we are setting out to STOP. It also underscores how important it is that you join us by coming out to #OUTNOW protests this Saturday across the country. Will you join us this Saturday? > > Find (or plan) a protest in your area Also: We looked up the price of BEAR SPRAY. Turns out the MAGA maniacs who assaulted our protest spent about $45 for the weapons they used. Will you give or find friends to go with you to give that same $45 to support nonviolent protests to put a stop to this madness? > > Any donation you make today will be doubled  – bringing your gift to $90. These MAGA maniacs see the potential of the #OUTNOW movement to transform the tremendous outrage that exists in this country against all that Trump and Pence stand for into a political force that compels their removal from power. And they want to stop this movement before it spreads any further. We are calling on you today to join us in sending the opposite message. That we will not be intimidated. That rather than cower in fear, we will come back stronger, in greater numbers, more united and determined than ever to say: In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America! Trump/Pence #OUTNOW! Please give all or part of $45 now, and join us in the streets this Saturday across the country.

Trump has taken alarming steps to defy and attack the rule of law. This is a real constitutional crisis. At the same time, the Trump/Pence regime poses a catastrophic danger to humanity and the planet. It cannot be removed by relying on the system itself. People must seize on the impeachment crisis, and take history into their hands. Andy Zee will talk about what it will take for the Trump Pence regime to go.

#OutNow! Nationwide Protests Begin Oct. 19

From revcom.us:

Nationwide Protests
JOIN US and DEMAND:

THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO – NOW!

Protest every week
Don't Stop Until the Trump/Pence Regime Is Removed from Power.

It BEGINS Saturday, October 19
NYC (Union Square)
LA (Santa Monica Pier)

Then it spreads NATIONWIDE Saturday, October 26
and continues and spreads on
November 2, November 9 and November 16…
until the Trump/Pence Regime is Removed from Power.

The Trump/Pence regime poses a catastrophic danger to humanity. Concentration Camps on the border… environmental devastation accelerated… the danger of war, even nuclear, threatened… white supremacy rules… fascist mobs and racist mass murderers… truth and science erased… the right to abortion near gone… the rule of law and democratic and civil rights are stripped away… THIS IS FASCISM UNFOLDING.

Now, impeachment has begun. A momentous move, in which sharp political battle lines are drawn with high stakes. Trump himself threatens charges of treason and even invokes civil war. A virulent fascist movement sees their future bound up with the whole Trump/Pence regime. Where this ends up depends on us.

This is a moment when we – people of many different views and experience – must act together in mass, sustained, non-violent nationwide protests that continue until the Trump/Pence regime is removed from power. We begin with protests in NYC and LA on October 19 that announce four more consecutive Saturdays of protests in cities and towns across the country that gather more people and momentum so that in the weeks and months that follow, the movement grows to tens and hundreds of thousands and millions. What unifies all the diverse streams of people that need to pour into the streets is the single demand: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go—Now!

For 3 years the Democratic Party leadership facilitated the Trump/Pence regime, even voting funds for border security when children were being separated from parents. Now, they want to restrict impeachment only to national security and Trump's violation of democratic norms to try to enlist Ukraine to undermine U.S.  elections. They have said they will not impeach on the whole array of fascist outrages. Thus far, they are not going after the whole fascist regime. Their approach would legitimate the whole Trump/Pence fascist program, leaving the cancer in place to grow more dangerously, especially if his Christo-fascist VP Pence is then allowed to take the presidency. Moreover, Trump has threatened that he may not leave office.

To “leave things to the Democrats” or wait til 2020 would be extremely dangerous. The only way to stop Trump and Pence and advance every struggle for justice is by the power of the people in the streets.

The world as we have known it is being torn asunder. We must cast off fear and passivity, and not allow our differences to stand in the way of rising together in the unprecedented, unrelenting non-violent mass #OUTNOW! protests to drive out the Trump/Pence regime.

We must seize on the impeachment crisis now erupting, taking history into our own hands and turning dread for the future into a force for hope!
