Stand against Trump’s comprehensive and white supremacist attacks on immigrants and immigration. Stand with DACA youth, with TPS recipients, with all those in detention right now. Stand with those whose families have already been torn apart and those who live each day with that fear. Trump’s “Wall” is a potent symbol and instrument of terror that concentrates the shattering of old norms and cementing Trump’s new order of: America First…Make America Great White Again.”
This all-around assault on immigrants is a horror. It is also the linchpin and battering ram of the whole fascist program being hammered into place by the Trump/Pence Regime. Fascism is a qualitative change in how society is governed. Fascism foments and relies on xenophobic nationalism, racism, misogyny, and the aggressive re-institution of oppressive “traditional values.” Once in power, fascism essentially eliminates traditional democratic rights.
This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!
In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!
Why People are Taking Up the Call for March 1
When Trump called immigrants “snakes” last week, he read the words to a song written by Oscar Brown Jr. Oscar’s daughters, Maggie and Africa, were on CNN demanding that Trump stop stealing his words and warping them into a racist rant. They announced, “On March 1st people are standing in solidarity with 11 minutes of silence for 11 million undocumented people, as we will be.”
Daughters of Oscar Brown Jr, @2BrownSisters call on people to wear black on March 1 to hold 11 min of silence for 11 million undocumented people. #ImmigrantsStayTrumpPenceMustGo
They CONDEMN Trump’s stealing their dad’s song “the snake!’

Carl Dix, co-initiator of Refuse Fascism & representative of Revolutionary Communist Party-I’m taking up March 1st for the 11 million undocumented immigrants who’re being criminalized and demonized by the Trump/Pence regime. Immigrants should stay & the Trump/Pence regime has to go!
Bebe Ackerman·I’m signing because these immigrants are far more American than Donald Trump. Period. But you all know that already.
Andrea Haulcoch·These latest attacks on immigrants are unacceptable. I will be standing in defiance against what the Trump/Pence regime is doing and against their whole fascist program on March 1st because I refuse to be a “good citizen” while an ethnic cleansing happens all around us.
Francine Allen · The majority of these immigrants should have been granted assylum since they are fleeing violence, including gang-murders and genocide with their own governments collaborating or turning a blind eye. Is this something any decent person wants to send another person back to???
sean smith – There’s not enough room , spaces etc. To str8 up express my anger, frustration, sadness, rebellious, (FENIAN IRISH BLOOD), ETCVETC ETC to Still see the orange yuppie parasitee and his “posse” pass laws, spread HATE FEAR PRO WAR b.s. and appoint the abominable RACIST jeff sessions top Cop oink and roll back minimum madortarysentences attack crime with war tactics etc etc WAKE THE FUCK UP !!!
