Anti-Trump Billboard Polarizes Phoenix

March 20    Last Friday artist Karen Fiorito put up two back to back billboards in downtown Phoenix. One side depicts a scowling Trump with nuclear explosions going off and swastika like money signs around him. The other shows five hands of different colors spelling out UNITY in sign language. Fiorito told a Phoenix tv station “There’s a lot of tension right now in the air, and I’m trying to express that for a lot of people who feel they don’t have a voice … I do feel like we are headed down a road of destruction … So, that’s my expression and I think I have the right to say that”. Pro Trump fascists have been threatening her life, she told a reporter. Fiorito said she has received “a lot of hate. Things have gotten a lot more escalated now.” But she is also getting support. She said “I think a lot of people are feeling this way and I’m just trying to express what I think is on a lot of people’s minds these days.” Fiorito told a TV station in Los Angeles that she has gotten “Tons and tons of positive feedback. People either love it or they hate it. A lot of people have defended me online and offered to give me money to keep it up.” Her response – she’s going to keep the billboards up as long as Trump is President. Time to drive out the Trump/Pence Regime and get Fiorito’s paintings in a museum of fascist relics as a reminder of what could have been.

Refuse Fascism’s Mission in 2025: 

Refuse Fascism leads people to understand and resist Trump/MAGA fascism. We unite with people from diverse perspectives to stop the second Trump regime from consolidating power and carrying out great horrors. Through our podcast and other public programs we expose and analyze the threat we face, promote efforts to defend people targeted by the fascists, and most essentially challenge and inspire the non-fascist majority of people living in the United States, the tens of millions of people who care about humanity and hate what Trump represents, to break out of the deadly confines of politics-as-usual and engage in determined, defiant action to defeat this American Fascism.
