Monday FEBRUARY 17 “Presidents Day...”

Take To The Streets
NO! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE To Accept a Fascist America!

Now Is the Time To: Stand Up, Resist, Protest to STOP Trump’s MAGA Fascism

What we face IS fascism consolidating power in the most powerful country in the world. It echoes the Confederacy, Jim Crow, and Nazi Germany, but there is no historical precedent for fascism dominating the world with the climate at a tipping point and nuclear-armed powers at each other’s throats. The Trump Regime threatens the very future of humanity and all life on the planet.

Only masses of people filling the streets; calling on people of all walks of life to refuse to cooperate, to accommodate, conciliate, or collaborate with fascism can prevent a great horror. Only millions of people who care about justice, about truth, about the whole world acting together with determination can DEFEAT Trump and MAGA Fascism. There is not a moment to lose. Because any decent future could be lost. Yet, if we act now, there is a future to win.

The breakneck speed and cruelty of the regime’s actions shocks the conscience. Immigrants demonized and rounded up. Blatant racism and anti-women, anti-LGBTQ+ hate spews from fascist mouths. Civil rights and even speaking of equality are banned. Whole countries are threatened. Anti-science lunatics are now in charge of destroying health care. Media muzzled. Theocracy and Christian supremacy being hammered into place.   Rapid Climate destruction is Trump’s program.

Fascism is the aggressive elimination of basic civil and democratic rights. Openly oppressive and repressive, fascism rules by decree, backed up by brute force from the fascist state and violent thugs. History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late.

This President’s Day, Monday, February 17 Refuse Fascism is calling on everyone, every group, everyone who refuses to live and be complicit in a fascist America to take to the streets wherever you are. Start your own protest (no experience necessary)! Unite with diverse protests already called, come together to spread resistance through cities and towns. Bring your signs, your heart, your courage and conviction.  

Defeating Trump and MAGA fascism will require a huge and relentless struggle creating such a profound political crisis that Trump cannot govern and carry out his fascist program. It will require sacrifice. It will require heroic resistance by people in government, in hospitals, in schools, and really by all who Trump tries to order and intimidate into following his dictates.  

Not for ourselves alone, but for humanity here and around the world we must act now continuing to grow in numbers doing so with courage, conviction and righteous fury saying in many diverse voices: In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!”
