From the Refuse Fascism Call to Action:
We need to organize now for the time when we can launch massive, sustained nonviolent protests in the streets of cities and towns across the country – protests that continue day after day and don’t stop, creating the kind of political situation in which the demand that the Trump/Pence regime be removed from power is met.
Everyone who recognizes that the Trump/Pence Nightmare Must End is invited to join in and prepare for launching this great act of sustained resistance.
Imagine tens of thousands beginning in several cities and towns, with marches, candlelight vigils, rallies – students, religious communities, immigrants, everyone with a heart for humanity in the streets and not backing down – growing from thousands to hundreds of thousands and eventually millions. Our actions will reflect the values of respect for all of humanity and the world we want – in stark contrast to the hate and bigotry of the Trump/Pence fascist regime. The whole world will take heart.
This will shake millions awake, with many losing their adjustment to life under this regime. The international credibility of the regime will be undermined. A determined struggle that doesn’t yield and won’t be provoked can create a serious political crisis. Those in power who are themselves now under attack by the regime but conciliating with it would be compelled to respond to our struggle from below, leading to a situation where this illegitimate regime is removed from power.

The following is from a call sent out by Refuse Fascism in NYC:
With great fanfare, the Mueller report was partially released to the public, today. Many parts of it were blacked out. The mainstream media is going crazy, pointing out that the report details ten instances of Trump obstructing justice in attempting to derail the Mueller investigation. They point out that Mueller did not charge Trump because the Department of Justice says that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime, only the Congress can act. CNN’s Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin, in reference to a sentence in the Mueller report, said on the air, “This is an invitation to Congress to say you can do it using the impeachment power.” CNN interviewed former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper who said in reference to the report, “When you read it, it’s pretty devastating.”
What they do not say is that the Trump/Pence regime is fascist. What they do not say is that the Trump/Pence regime is determined to consolidate a fascist America. What they do not say is that no one in government has the power to remove Trump from power without a mass upsurge of millions from below. Let’s imagine that the House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump, which Pelosi has repeatedly said they will not, Trump would be tried in the Senate which is controlled by the Republicans. And if by some miracle Trump was convicted and removed from office, Pence would be president and the whole fascist regime would still be in control with a new face. Relying on impeachment without millions in the streets demanding, “This nightmare must end, the Trump/Pence regime must go!” is a pipedream.
Unless they are challenged, people will continue to be bamboozled, diverted and stupefied by the Democratic Party, CNN, Rachel Maddow , MSNBC, The New York Times, etc, to put their faith in the findings of the Mueller report and the normal workings of the system that put a fascist in the White House. Now is the time for Refuse Fascism to go on the offensive politically, mass distribute the Call To Action, organize more people into Refuse Fascism and prepare and organize to start with thousands in the major cities in mass determined non-violent protest, growing to millions, not stopping until our demand is met, “This nightmare must end. The Trump/Pence regime must go!”
