The first set of protesters (pictured above) have been summoned to court on August 27, 28, 29 & 30th.
Join us starting Monday, August 27 for a press conference outside of the Courthouse (1945 S. Hill Street) on Washington Blvd & Hill St. at 8:00 am.
The Los Angeles City Attorney has just criminally charged 11 members of Refuse Fascism, including numerous members of the Revolution Club in LA, an Iraq War vet, as well as a noted artist and USC professor, whose arraignment dates begin August 27 and carry through September and October. The multiple misdemeanor charges stem from 3 significant events, including 2 actions on the 101 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles and from arrests stemming from a public challenge to Trump/Pence regime cabinet member U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin at UCLA.
These criminal charges by the LA City Attorney represent an effort by the state to silence dissent against the Trump/Pence regime. They specifically target members of Refuse Fascism, including revolutionary communists and a professor, for being unwavering in their pledge to not “stand aside” while there is still a chance to stop a regime that imperils humanity and the earth itself. The defendants are calling for tens of millions to get out of our “comfort zones,” and not allow differences to stand in the way of rising together in an unprecedented, unrelenting mass struggle to demand: This Nightmare Must End - The Trump/Pence Regime MUST GO!
They need your support, now:
** Call the LA City Attorney at 213-978-8100 to demand ALL the charges against ALL defendants be dropped
** Attend the Press Conference in front of Metropolitan Courthouse at 8:00 am, Monday, August 27 ~ 1945 S. Hill St., LA, CA 90007
** 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!

Take the Revolution—and the Need for Determined Struggle to Drive Out the Trump/Pence Regime—into the Nationwide Protests to Stop the Appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court
Soon, on September 4, hearings are set to begin in the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. If this confirmation goes forward, it will mark a radical transformation of the highest court in the land—a major leap in the consolidation of Trump/Pence’s fascist America.
Protests against this nomination have been called around the country for August 26; here is a link to find a protest near you:
uniteforjustice2018.com.
Everyone who refuses to accept a fascist America should mobilize for and participate in these protests, uniting with people’s righteous outrage while also putting forward the need for, and organizing new people to take up, truly determined political struggle of masses of people to STOP this confirmation and drive out the whole fascist Trump/Pence regime as laid out in the
Call to Action from RefuseFascism.org.
Those who see the need for revolution should contribute to this fight
from the perspective of—and while boldly propagating the need for and organizing people into the movement for—an actual revolution as concentrated in HOW WE CAN WIN—How We Can Really Make Revolution.
