On September 5th we made a LIVING DECLARATION to the world that we are uniting, we are organizing, we are determined, we are preparing to struggle with all we’ve got, starting now and not stopping until the Trump/Pence regime is driven from power and its fascist program brought to a halt.
Some 1,700 people took to the streets in 20 cities across the U.S. on Saturday, September 5, in mass non-violent protest demanding TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW and launching 60 days of struggle. Hundreds marched in NYC, protesters defied fascist thugs in Houston and Orlando, important voices from the religious community, fighters against police terror, veterans of struggles for civil liberties, and others shared powerful testimony for why Trump/Pence must go NOW.
