Monday: March Against Death, Lies & Fascism & FOR Humanity

 


From RefuseFascism.org

MARCH AGAINST DEATH, LIES & FASCISM AND FOR HUMANITY!
Monday, September 21st – 3:00 PM

Meet at SUNSET BLVD. and VERMONT AVENUE
Near Kaiser Permanente and Children's Hospital's
Rally * March * Bike * Caravan
 
As We Pass the Grim Milestone of 200,000 Covid-19 Deaths
In Cities and Towns Across the Country
TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!
 
Trump deliberately deceived the world about the danger of the virus at the cost of tens of thousands of lives. Trump knew the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and "more deadly than even your strenuous flus," and yet, “I wanted to always play it down, I still like playing it down, - because I don’t want to create a panic.” But Bob Woodward got it on tape!
 
Now, Trump continues to lie, assail science, traffic in conspiracy theories, hold super-spreading rallies, and sabotage attempts to contain the pandemic.  Many of those lost – disproportionately Latinx, Black and Native American – Trump would have gladly killed off anyway.
 
This is Trump’s genocidal, fascist worldview. Will you refuse to accept it and join the movement to drive it from power before its too late?  What about all those who lost friends and loved ones to COVID-19? What about all the health care workers who fought to save lives?  How many more people must die because we live under a fascist regime spreading anti-scientific ignorance about COVID-19?
 
On September 21, mark the grim milestone of 200,000 Covid-19 deaths with the resounding demand for an end to the death, lies & fascist escalation:
TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!
 
March with us in the streets 3:00 PM at SUNSET and VERMONT and SOUND THE ALARM from your social media by taking the Pledge of Resistance found at: refusefascism.org and share this call with others.
 
The science-hating response to COVID-19 is but one leading edge of an entire program of hatred, bigotry, and cruelty directed at the masses of people.  The different strands of this fascist program – the white supremacy, the misogyny, the xenophobia, wrapped in the flag and the Bible taken literally – are consolidating into a different form of rule in this country, relying on violence, terror, and brutality. Waiting for or relying on the upcoming
election alone to remove this regime – an election Trump is already sabotaging and refusing to be bound by – is not just irresponsible. It is complicity.
 
We must rise now, as millions did earlier this year for Black lives, uniting and preparing to struggle with all we’ve got to oust this fascist regime and bring its program to a halt. Our actions must lead into an October of people from many different backgrounds and viewpoints coming together week after week, day after day, in growing continuing nonviolent protests that do not stop until this demand is met:
 
TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!
In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!
Refuse Fascism Ph: 323-946-1742 @RefuseFascismLA RefuseFascism.org

Hundreds of people joined in an action organized  by Refuse Fascism outside of Trump’s “Town Hall Meeting” in Philadelphia on September 15.


It was a wild, diverse, contemptuous and creative festival of resistance. People called out Trump’s violent white supremacy and other crimes against humanity and they were challenged to keep doing that, and to focus their righteous outrage into a mass movement of sustained, nonviolent protest not stopping until Trump is OUT, with the September 21 protests against Trump, Lies and Fascism as the next key step.

Add your name & voice to Pledge to Refuse Fascism. At this turning point in history, be part of a clarion call to all who want to end this nightmare.

We Pledge:
In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America

>> Add your name

We pledge:
We will not stand aside
While there is still a chance to stop a regime that imperils the people of the world and the earth itself.

We do not comply with a regime:
     putting targets on the backs of Black, brown, and Native people
     denying women control of their bodies
     forcing LGBTQ people back into the closet

We do not accept:
     a society ruled by hate and bigotry, ignorance and brutality,
     demeaning and cursing other peoples and countries
     threatening them with destruction
There can be:
     no more children torn from parents and locked in cages,
     no more fire and fury from the mouth of a demented bully with his finger on the nuclear trigger,
     no more mass COVID death from science-hating lunacy
     no more “law and order” of official terror by bullets, batons, and tear gas

No longer can we live with
     howling mobs resurrecting Jim Crow
     fascist thugs attacking our protests
     the right to vote stolen by defenders of the Confederacy

We will not worship the flag or accept a theocracy.
We will not become collaborators on a march to a racist genocide.
We will not hand the future to scorchers of the planet.
We will not rest until this fascist regime is driven from power.

4 more years, 4 more months

     And it could be too late to change the course of history as the Trump/Pence regime sabotages
     the election and drags humanity to the edge of extinction.

Here and Now, we pledge to unite in our millions
     rising together in nonviolent resistance to stop a great horror.

We pledge to stay in the streets, overcoming fear and uncertainty,
     until this American fascism is brought to a halt.

We Demand: Trump/Pence Out Now!
We will not stop
Until they’re gone.

We pledge our determination to prevail over a regime that imperils the people of the world and the earth itself.

In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America.
