> > Facebook event 

Everyone with a conscience and heart for the people and the planet must confront that EVERYDAY THAT THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME REMAINS IN POWER THREATENS THE FUTURE. We must face this hard truth and we must ACT ON IT. There is a way to remove this whole regime – the #OUTNOW! movement of sustained, non-violent protest that doesn’t stop until the regime has been removed from power.

Dance and break bread as we ready our spirits for a January storm: seizing on the sharpening impeachment crisis, bringing the power of the people into the streets and bringing humanity's interests into the fight.

Celebrate and support those who have stepped out, overcoming fear and uncertainty, to act -- in the name of humanity. Celebrate and support those who recognize, and take joy in, our responsibility to the people of the world. Celebrate and support the future that is possible for humanity, if we come together to prevent a fascist America.

As the darkness of this regime descends around us, and the mass complicity and complacency continues to settle, be part taking history into our own hands and turning dread for the future into a force for hope!

There Is No Santa Claus...

From RefuseFascism:

There Is No Santa Claus, and He Won’t Remove Trump and Pence… JOIN THE DECEMBER DISRUPTIONS: Nationwide Protests Saturday, December 14 TRUMP/PENCE #OUTNOW! November 22, Los Angeles A month of flash protests, banner drops, rapidly responding to sharp political events, and other actions to disrupt the advance of fascism, disturb the normalization and complicity of those who oppose Trump/Pence but are passively going along, and build the movement to drive the regime from power. Nationwide Protests Saturday, December 14 In L.A.: 4 PM - MacArthur Park, 7th & Alvarado Light up the Sky March and Rally! Meet in front of the Red Line Station Bring candles, flashlights, cell phones, and other kinds of lights. Facebook event Trump/Pence #OUTNOW! The Trump/Pence regime poses a catastrophic danger to humanity. Concentration camps on the border… environmental devastation accelerated… war, even nuclear war, casually threatened… white supremacist rule… 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 stripped away… THIS IS FASCISM UNFOLDING AND IN POWER. As the impeachment hearings move towards possible conclusion, sharp political lines are drawn with high stakes. Trump has declared the entire lawful process illegitimate and worked with Republicans to defy and obstruct it. Yet, to date, the Democratic leadership has all but conceded that Trump will not be removed by the Senate. Further, they refuse to impeach on the basis of Trump’s full fascist program, thereby leaving intact and even legitimating these crimes. What can change all of this? WE CAN – the power of the people taking to the streets in sustained nonviolent protest, raising the unifying demand: Trump/Pence #OUTNOW! And then, continuing week after week across the country, growing in numbers and determination until our demand is met. THIS IS THE WAY TO REMOVE THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME. At this moment of peril, celebrate this holiday season by struggling together, overcoming all that divides us, and transforming dread for the future into hope for humanity. Let this be the joy of the holidays. In recent years, Puerto Rico, South Korea and other nations have shown the effectiveness of this method. For this to happen in the U.S., we must together: [1] Disrupt the advance of fascism by standing up against the Trump/Pence regime and its crimes. [2] Disturb the normalization and complicity of those who genuinely hate what Trump/Pence represent, but are passively going along as catastrophe mounts. [3] Build the society-wide influence and numbers of the #OUTNOW Movement, advancing towards the time when we can bring millions into the streets in sustained, nonviolent political protest that does not stop until the regime is removed from power. Join us for December Disruptions: “There is no Santa Claus, and he will not remove Trump and Pence. It’s on us. Trump/Pence #OUTNOW!” This is a month of flash protests, banner drops, rapidly responding to sharp political events, and other actions. This will include “moving protests” on Saturday, December 7th – on public transit or by car caravan – to disturb the air and get the word out on a massive scale. The centerpiece of the month will be mass protests on December 14, injecting the demand “Trump/Pence #OUTNOW!” into the holidays to shake off the numbing mass-consumerism daze. If we truly want to bring joy to children everywhere in this season, we must put an end to the regime that locks them in cages and imperils their future. Don’t bury your hopes and conscience. Come out and make a difference. NOW IS THE TIME. There’s still a chance to stop a regime that imperils humanity and the planet. What will you tell future generations you did during this last window of hope and opportunity? Let’s stand together with conviction and courage, overcoming fear and uncertainty, to struggle with all we’ve got to demand: TRUMP/PENCE #OUTNOW!

In the New Year... Let’s Fight for a New World!

DONATE to the National Revolution Tour - $8,000 needed by January 1st  In the New Year... Let’s Fight for a New World! Take a moment to watch this short video:  "What If the world doesn't have to be this way?"

Racist graffiti and taunts at Syracuse University while fascist spokespeople are given a platform at UCLA and Berkeley; according to UN reports, the U.S. is increasing its greenhouse gas emissions while the planet burns; immigrants trapped in hellish conditions at the border are prevented from even applying to enter the U.S.; the fascist Trump/Pence regime digs in and doubles down in the face of the Democrats’ impeachment hearings—the hell of this imperialist system grinds forward with outrage upon outrage. The need for revolution cries out, the need for a whole different kind of society based on the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America. The National Get Organized for an ACTUAL Revolution Tour has been in the thick of these fault-line battles, boldly breaking onto the scene in the spirit of “You Think You’re Woke... But You’re Sleepwalking Through a Nightmare—This System Cannot Be Reformed, It Must Be Overthrown.” The Revolution Tour has been fighting to build the #OUTNOW movement to mobilize millions into the streets to drive the Trump/Pence regime from power, bringing its scientific understanding and approach based on the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian. See some of what the Tour has been doing across the country [here]. Recently, hundreds of people around the country donated to meet a $25,000 goal. They were inspired by a force of people who are going out to build a movement for revolution, who are fighting for a whole new world free of exploitation and oppression and living that morality today, and who—coming from that place—are also challenging others to join into and build this #OUTNOW movement. This developing financial base for the Tour is an important part of organizing forces for that revolution. A great deal is demanded of these revolutionaries in times like these—and now a minimum of $8,000 more is needed by January 1 to sustain their basic needs, produce materials, and enable them travel to wherever they are most needed. Contribute towards fighting for a new world—there are many ways to contribute: Make a year-end donation to a force that is about really changing the world; challenge others you know to donate as well.   Revolutionary greeting cards—download them, produce them, give them to friends and family, and sell them to raise funds. Donate to the Travel Fund—contribute airline miles or dollars to the fund. Write to tourmilestogofar@gmail.com. Become a sustainer—from $5/month to $500/month—and contribute to the ongoing needs of the Tour. Join with others to organize a holiday fundraising gathering for the Revolution Tour, giving others a chance to meet some members of the Tour and/or local Revolution Club members. Donate your skills in social media or video making. Call the NY Revolution Club: 646-717-7161. Be part of organizing or donating to giant yard sales to raise $500 to $1000 a month.
