Tomorrow, July 6, several national organizations are organizing protests across the country at Republican Senators offices. Refuse Fascism calls on you to join-in in these nationally coordinated sit-ins and rallies, mainly at Republican Senators’ offices and events.
As our statement for July 15 states:
“THE CHILDREN, ELDERLY, DISABLED AND POOR of this country, as in every country, should have food for sustenance, health care to live, homes to live in, and not be denied with cruel calculation for the benefit of the few. NO! We will not accept the cruel and brutal future of the Trump/Pence Regime . . . they must GO!
To all who agonize and rage at what’s being done to the people, ON JULY 15, 2017 – PROTEST AND DEMAND: THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!”
Wear your NO! shirt, have July 15 flyers, and lead with the opening paragraph (above).
In some places the organizers are planning actions where people will risk arrest. Others will be support teams.
We suggest you have someone record and photograph the events…and share them on social media with the hashtag #J15TrumpPenceRegimeMustGO. Here are some that we know about:
