RefuseFascism.org to Mobilize Handmaid’s Tale Protest of Trump in Wilkes-Barre PA
This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!
What: Protest rally, photo op
When: Thursday August 2 5:00 pm
Where: Mohegan Sun Arena, 250 Highland Park Blvd Wilkes-Barre PA
Thursday, RefuseFascism.org will mobilize women dressed in the blood-red cloaks and white bonnets worn by women in Hulu’s dystopian series The Handmaids Tale as part of the protest organized by Action Together Northeastern PA.
Sunsara Taylor of Refusefascism.org says, “The Trump/Pence regime is imposing real-life fascism, including a deadly strain of Christian fascism akin to the Handmaid’s Tale: the Bible invoked to force women to bear children against their will, to persecute LGBTQ people, to tear immigrant children from parents. Only by driving the Trump/Pence regime from power through massive, sustained protest can we stop this nightmare.”
Monday, Attorney General Sessions announced the regime’s “Religious Liberty Task Force,” aimed at further legalizing and enforcing bigotry and discrimination against LGBTQ people, and forced childbearing for women justified as “expressing religious freedom.”
RefuseFascism.org made headlines when we mobilized 100 Handmaids to confront Mike Pence in Philadelphia on July 23, and again July 31 in New York City. New York Post. Huffington Post. ABCNews.
Refusefascism.org is a movement of people of diverse political perspectives united in our recognition that the Trump/Pence regime poses a catastrophic threat to humanity. We are organizing a movement to drive them power from through non-violent sustained protest as in South Korea two years ago.
