RF OutNow Family Donor Challenge

Phone-Banking Script 12-28

What is urgently needed is to be able to project the analysis and mission, and the #OutNow December Disruptions to millions throughout society. This requires advertising, materials (fliers, posters, signs, stickers, t-shirts, hats) and a greatly heightened organizing infrastructure (including stipends for full-time volunteers).

Donating to Refuse Fascism: One of the most critical and meaningful ways for people to refuse to accept a fascist America and the catastrophic horror this would mean for all of humanity.

When you ask someone to donate, you are giving them a meaningful way to help stop a fascist America. By giving, a person concretely strengthens the #OutNow movement & the ability to mobilize the one force that can drive out the Trump/Pence Regime: millions of people in sustained nonviolent protests.

By giving, a person makes a commitment about what kind of person they want to be and what kind of world they want to live in – and joins a community fighting for the same.

 

SAVE THE DATE & START PLANNING :

  • NATIONAL OFFICE MAILING TO PREVIOUS DONORS HAPPENING BY END OF NOVEMBER
  • GIVING TUESDAY DECEMBER 3
  • PHONE-BANKING WEEKENDS DEC. 15 & 29-31
  • BENEFITS TO BUILD COMMUNITY & RAISE $: WHEN WILL YOUR CHAPTER HOLD ONE?

Fundraising Elements For Chapters:

Fundraising on the street:

  • Taking a whack at fascism. In Philly for a $20 donation you could take a whack at a cage symbolizing those migrant children are in at the hands of this fascist regime.

    Be sure to ask for donations for stickers — How much do you think getting Trump/Pence #OutNow is worth? Don’t be afraid to ask for $10, $20…wait and see what they say.

  • Whether doing an action or outreach have big decorated buckets & signage that asks for contributions including via Venmo (@Refuse-Fascism)
  • Get creative! Take a whack at fascism for a donation, do #OutNow Caroling with remixed lyrics that indict this regime (maybe in Handmaids costumes) & give hope of a movement to drive them out.

Fundraising online:

  • Be sure to share fundraising related resources, social media posts from national & new crowdfunding campaign once launched to local social media platforms.
  • Get ready for Giving Tuesday (December 3)! Have local donors with moving reasons for why they donated to #OutNow movement? Post from your social media platforms or send to us 1-2 minute #MyGivingStory videos. If they don’t want to do video, see if they can give a written statement (with a photo of them with sign preferred).

Fundraising Events:

  • Holiday/New Year’s Parties! What talents, connections, & passions can your chapter maximize?
  • Who has come forward in past 5 weeks that you could ask to:  do a bake sale, do a house party, sell candy canes on campus, donate a percentage of service they provide to Refuse Fascism (e.g. barbers, massage therapist)

NETWORKS OF GIVING TO #OUTNOW: MATCHING DONATION CHALLENGE

Our goal is to have $25,000 in matching donations during this 6-week drive. Individuals, families & friend groups giving matches of $500+. Share the challenge posed in the letter from an extended family that gave $3,500 to create similar funds. Share with us: who comes up with ideas of people to ask, a brief description of who they are asking, and an update on how it went ASAP.

RefuseFascism Mission Statement

July 2021

RefuseFascism.org exposes, analyzes, and stands against the very real danger and threat of fascism coming to power in this country. Seventy-four million people voted for Trump in 2020. The Republi-fascist Party has been purged of dissenting voices. The mass fascist movement has hardened in the wake of their January 6 coup attempt. Fascist initiatives around restricting voting, immigration and abortion rapidly advance in statehouses across the country. The election of Biden has not eliminated the danger, it has only bought some time. … READ AND SHARE THE ENTIRE MISSION STATEMENT
