Nationwide Protests to Begin the Day After the Midterms
No Matter Who Wins: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!
As the country reels with the shock of pipe bombs, an antisemitic massacre, racist murders, and Trump’s escalating threats against migrants and immigrants, one group is focused on protesting across the country the day after the midterms. RefuseFascism.org is urging everyone: “Regardless of whether you voted… no matter who wins, we must be in the streets beginning the day after the midterm elections to demand: In the Name of Humanity, The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!”
Spokesperson Sunsara Taylor emphasized, “Millions of us are shocked and horrified by what is happening, but that only matters if we dare to act in a way that can stop this nightmare. Ultimately, this means millions, refusing to stop until the whole regime has been removed. On November 7 and November 10, we are launching a different kind of protest movement, one that refuses to get swept up in another election cycle that buys our silence and capitulation to fascism, and instead demonstrates our singular demand and determination that: NO! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!”
Protests are currently planned in 14 cities, listed below.
RefuseFascism.org describes itself as “a movement of people coming from diverse perspectives, united in our recognition that the Trump/Pence Regime poses a catastrophic danger to humanity and the planet, and that it is our responsibility to drive them from power through massive nonviolent political protest. We are united in these demands: This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!”
