Sunday - National Faith Weekend: Trump/Pence Must Go!

Received from Refuse Fascism - LA: Protests Must Continue and Grow! In The Name of Humanity Stop Terrorizing Immigrant Children! “Suffer the little children to come unto me for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” - Matthew 19:14 People of faith, of all religions, of such did we see torn from mothers and fathers during the brutal years of slavery in this nation.Of such did we see, in this nation, during the genocidal separation of Native American children, from their families, to deprive them of their language and destroy their culture.Of such did we see when Japanese children and families were torn from their homes and isolated in concentration camps across this nation.Of such did we see when children and families were taken from their homes to be incinerated in the ovens of the Holocaust during the monstrous Nazi regime of Hitler’s Germany. Of such do we now see in this nation with immigrant, children crying desperately for their parents and locked in cages by the illegitimate, barbaric, Trump-Pence regime, that America must expunge for crimes against humanity. If a nation, a society is judged by the way it treats “the least of these” then how will we, churches, synagogues, mosques, etc., how will we be judged? It is an atrocity that people are being used as pawns to get a wall built; That children, akin to the era of slavery in America, have been ripped from the arms of their parents; and moreover are being held in detention centers or transported across the country with little hope of ever being reunited with their parents; That Trump’s new executive order has mandated military concentration camps — indefinite incarceration in military prisons —for immigrants and refugees. Children. Adults. All families. And, to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the White House: Biblical scripture can be used by anyone to justify their twisted beliefs or deviant behaviors. Scripture was used by King George III loyalists. It was used to justify slavery in general and the Fugitive Slave Act specifically. There is little doubt that the kidnapping of more than 200 school girls in Nigeria was similarly justified. It is patently clear that all laws are not just. It is an absolute atrocity that any political figure in twenty first century America could justify the evil evidenced by the irreparable harm being done to more than 2000 children in these United States of America. We are at critical mass. In the hope of justice and peace, it is time for our religious communities to join together in solidarity to oppose and stop the growing list of atrocities of the Trump/Pence regime and take immediate, positive action to protect humanity! Protests Must Continue and Grow! Turn Up The Heat – Stay In The Streets! This Nightmare Must End! The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! ******** Faith Task Force of Refuse Fascism I Am My Brothers Keeper – The Trump Pence Regime Must Go!

Friday: The Michael Slate Show w/ Boots Riley, "Sorry to Bother You"; Robin Reineke, When Family Separation Is Forever; Natl Faith Weekend: Trump/Pence Must Go!

Received via email.  We Recommend:   Friday, July 13, 201810 - 11 AM - PDT The Michael Slate Show KPFK 90.7 FM  |  Listen Live Website  Twitter,  Facebook

This Week:   Robin Reineke, When Family Separation is Forever; Boots Riley, Sorry to Bother You; National Faith Weekend: Trump/Pence Must Go! When Family Separation is Forever, with Robin Reineke Robin Reineke, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Colibrí Center for Human Rights, recently wrote, "Families are being separated at the border today, not only by detention practices, but also by death and disappearance. Both are the result of policies designed to inflict maximum suffering. "While trying to defend their inhumane policies of separating families and imprisoning children, several 'Trump administration officials have recently cited “deterrence' as their strategy. For those of us who have been working on the border for a long time, who have found dead bodies on our hikes, spoken with mothers like Nelson’s, and held dry bones in our hands, this language is painfully familiar." We'll talk with Robin Reineke about death on the border, and the government policies behind it.  Boots Riley, Director of Sorry to Bother You Boots Riley, Rapper, Producer, Screenwriter and Director, joins us to talk about his recently-released debut film, "Sorry to Bother You." Set in a present-day, dystopian, alternate version of Oakland, California, the film is a hilarious comedy, with terrific acting, and as one reviewer observed, "enough social commentary to fill a dozen comedies." It examines the choices facing particularly Black people today, and the idea that you can make it, but only if you learn to ignore injustice and think only of yourself -- and even then, you face betrayal. Cassius “Cash” Green, played by Lakeith Stanfield, is desperate for a job, and becomes a telemarketer. As he succeeds, he is faced with decisions about the course of his own life, and the fate of many others.  I Am My Brother's Keeper: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! We'll speak with Rev. Frank Wulf, Pastor of the United Methodist Church in Echo Park, and a member of the Faith Task Force of Refuse Fascism, about National Faith Weekend, and a special event in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 15.

Thursday, 7/7 - STOP Terrorizing Immigrants & Refugees! #TrumpPenceMustGo

Received from Refuse Fascism - LA:  

. Immigrants and refugees terrorized, mass detention camps, thousands of children still separated from parents… The Supreme Court on the verge of a fascist majority for generations… Demonstrate Saturday July 7th 4 PM - Meet at Mac Arthur Park Red Line Station on Alvarado between Wilshire & 7th, L.A. Take to the streets in cities and towns nationwide TO DEMAND: This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! Children torn from parents... concentration camps for tens or hundreds of thousands... threats to bypass judicial process... The assault on immigrants is the linchpin and battering ram of a whole fascist program: * The Muslim Ban. * White supremacy and terror. * Environmental deregulation as the planet burns. * Open misogyny and theocratic restrictions on abortion and even birth control. * Stripping away rights recently won by LGTBQ people. * 8 million on the verge of starvation in Yemen due to U.S. backed war. * Threats of nuclear annihilation. * A thoroughly fascist Trump/Pence Supreme Court for generations. This is an American Fascism: “Trump/Pence regime’s ‘Make America Great Again’ is a 21st century fascist program of Manifest Destiny—‘America First’—wrapped in the flag and Mike Pence’s Bible taken literally, with a program of white supremacy, misogyny, and xenophobia.” ENOUGH. ¡Basta Ya! We know enough to see what has been put into motion. If we allow them to get away with caging and torturing children, they know there is nothing they can’t get away with. We must not allow them to pack the Supreme Court and wipe out women’s right to abortion, LGBTQ rights, and more and worse. Every crisis this regime gets through strengthens the regime. This is a shock we cannot normalize. We—the masses of people—must act to stop this whole fascist program and demand that this illegitimate, immoral, regime be removed from power. This cannot wait until November. The Trump/Pence Regime will not be bound by the normal political process—they are shattering norms, remaking the courts, radically altering the whole political and global landscape. The Democratic Party will not stop this. For them, empire and order is more important than justice, even if that means the order of fascism. On July 7th: Join Refuse Fascism, mobilize your organization or your friends and neighbors and take to the streets across the country to raise the demand: This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

What to the Slave...

...is your 4th of July? Received from the Revolution Club - LA:   . Wednesday, July 4 11 AM - 6 PM Exposition Blvd. & Vermont Ave., SouthEast Corner @ Exposition Park, near USC At a time when this system puts immigrant children in cages at the border and bombs still other children in the Middle East, when police still shoot down Black and Latino people in the streets, when women are treated as less than human and the basic rights and respect for LGBTQ people are denied right up to the Supreme Court, and when the environment itself is under severe assault - a better world IS possible.  Come hear how - break bread, watch films, hang out, and celebrate the world we need and find out about what we need to do to get there.  Bring poems, music, food - or just yourself and your desire to do something against this system - on July 4.
