At this crucial moment, Refuse Fascism announces: Our Power is in the Streets — On September 5, United Mass Protest to Demand Trump Pence Out NOW!

Millions hope the coming elections will end the horrors of the past three and a half years. Yet Trump is already assaulting them with blatant voter suppression, crippling the USPS, whipping up thug “poll monitors,” and more. This as his regime deploys storm-troopers, refuses measures that could prevent tens of thousands more COVID deaths, and carries out other outrages.

“We are speeding toward an election that Trump is already contesting and now threatens to delay, robbing people of the one recourse they think they have to remove this regime,” RefuseFascism.org’s Coco Das says. “Mass non-violent protest – like we’re seeing in Belarus and we plan to launch on September 5 – is the best hope we have to stop the nightmare of Trump/Pence fascism.”

“Everyone concerned about the future, every movement for social justice, needs to come out on September 5 to demand Trump/Pence Out Now,” says Das

“Will the Trump/Pence regime hold on to power move to violently suppress dissent and criminalize protest? Brand as enemies all those who struggle for a better world – whether for Black lives or the environment or immigrants’ rights? Exact revenge aimed at destroying our ability to stand up again?

This and worse is unfolding now, and it has a name: fascism,” says Carl Dix of RefuseFascism.org, “and it must be stopped before it is too late.”

“Now is the time for all who’ve been demonized by this regime and the millions who hate what Trump stands for to unite with an unwavering resolve to demand Trump/Pence OUT NOW and launch the kind of sustained non-violent struggle that continues until the Trump/Pence regime is driven from power,” Dix says.
