On this page are three major statements to carry forward the movement to drive the fascist Trump/Pence Regime from power: a salute from Refuse Fascism to all those who stood up on July 15; the Refuse Fascism speech read at rallies across the country; the Call of Refuse Fascism, an ongoing statement expressing our Mission.
To all who stood up on July 15th – in 18 cities to say In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America! and did so in several cities in the face of the hateful vitriol and in one case violence of the Trump Fascist ghouls, WE SALUTE YOU!
Hundreds, in several major cities, took to the streets and raised a unified demand: THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO! This signifies something new. An organized force proposing a bold plan to demand that an entire regime be removed from power because it is fascist and what that would mean for the future of humanity and the planet. Everyone who stepped out today, everyone who threw their heart into organizing for today should know, we have put this demand, the stand and organization of RefuseFascism.org on the map.
That matters. We said in the speech given in 18 cities today:
“Today is the beginning of what must be a new stage of our struggle. There must be no illusions about what we face. We must discuss, debate and struggle hard with each other to understand the tremendous necessity we face in confronting a regime in the most powerful country in the world that is hellbent on consolidating fascism. Yes, it is an American Fascism – Manifest Destiny and American exceptionalism – a fascism wrapped in the Bible taken literally and the American flag, saturated with racism, misogyny, and xenophobia.” Continue reading
Refuse Fascism Speech, July 15: A New Stage in the Fight to Drive Out the Trump/Pence Regime
This speech from Refuse Fascism was read at rallies across the country
In the Name of Humanity . . . Driving out a fascist regime is not a small matter. It is not easy. But it is what we must do, going forward from today.
Nuclear War… The devastation of the planet… Immigrants, Muslims, Women, LBGTQ persons, the disabled, the sick, the elderly, Black and Latino people ARE ALL IN DIRECT PERIL… We will pledge today to unite, to stand up, to resist, and to act with courage and conviction and not rest until this regime is driven from power because what is at stake in confronting this fascist regime of Donald Trump and Mike Pence is nothing less than the future of humanity and habitable earth for all.

Refuse Fascism Call
In the Name of Humanity,
We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!
Drive Out the Trump/Pence Regime!
The Trump/Pence Regime is a Fascist Regime. Not insult or exaggeration, this is what it is. For the future of humanity and the planet, we, the people, must drive this regime out.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence have assembled a vicious cabal that has put forth positions and begun initiatives which demonstrate that they fully intend to shred political and social norms with catastrophic consequence. Because Trump has his finger on the nuclear trigger, the Trump/Pence regime is more dangerous to the world than even Hitler.
Fascism has direction and momentum. Dissent is piece by piece criminalized. The truth is bludgeoned. Group after group is demonized and targeted along a trajectory that leads to real horrors. All of this has already begun under the Trump Regime. History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late.
