Mass Public Assembly

Start: Saturday, October 24, 2020• 2:00 PM

Trump Is Already Stealing the Election. WE NEED TO VOTE, BUT TRUMP WILL NOT BE STOPPED JUST BY VOTING!

MASS PUBLIC ASSEMBLIES Nationwide

To Protest and Demand: Trump/Pence OutNow!

RALLY & PLAN for the Next Crucial 10 Days

In CHICAGO: 2pm Saturday, Oct. 24 / Federal Plaza

Black and Latinx people have already been forced to stand in line 12 hours to vote. Mail-in drop off locations shut down during a pandemic. Armed white supremacist MAGA vigilantes are being mobilized to intimidate. NOW IS THE TIME TO STAND TOGETHER IN THE STREETS AND PUBLIC SQUARES, CONTINUING THROUGH THE ELECTION AND AS LONG AS IT TAKES, TO STOP A FASCIST COUP.

We must vote in big numbers. But the reality is that voting alone will not stop Trump. The illegitimate rushed confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett, a theocratic fascist, to the Supreme Court is for the immediate purpose of throwing the election to Trump should he lose. This confirmation must be stopped. Trump and Amy Coney Barrett refuse to commit to a peaceful transfer of power. The Democrats have conceded defeat already (see video below). They say play by the rules, but Trump is stomping on the rules every day to steal this election. That's why our one non-negotiable demand is Trump Pence Out NOW!

Coups… thefts of power… are stopped when people:

[1] plan and act BEFORE the coup… and
[2] build in the streets the unity and determination while working together… and
[3] establish before the eyes of the world the righteousness of their demand.

This is what we accomplish by being in the streets every day before the election.

We must not be intimidated by the relentless barrage of hatred and threats from Trump’s rallies. We must not be lulled by “polls” showing that Biden is winning. And while we must vote, we must not rely on voting alone as the Trump/Pence regime steals the election.

We must overwhelm this fascist regime and movement with our mass non-violent protest. If we unite and rise like we did in the spring for Black lives, coming back day after day – united by the demand Trump/Pence OutNow! and refusing to stop till they’re gone – we can change the political situation. Our numbers, our diversity, and our heart for humanity can sustain us through whatever the Trump/Pence regime tries to do to remain in power. As we grow, we will inspire millions more to join this great struggle, until those in power are compelled to concede to our single demand that the regime must go.

Join us tomorrow/Saturday, Oct 24 to rally, plan, network and organize!
