Newsweek: Nationwide marches against “Death, Lies and Fascism” planned as U.S. nears 200,000 COVID-19 deaths
Refuse Fascism Says: No Fascist Supreme Court Appointment
Today Newsweek reports: “More than a dozen marches are due to take place at cities across the country in protest of President Donald Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak as the U.S. nears 200,000 deaths.”
“Refuse Fascism, a group who describe the Trump/Pence regime as a ‘catastrophic danger to humanity and the planet’ have organized nationwide rallies for Monday, 21 September in response to the U.S having the highest coronavirus death count in the world.”
“The ‘March Against Death, Lies, and Fascism and For Humanity’ events taking place in New York, Washington D.C, San Francisco, Houston and Chicago, among other cities, is also being promoted as a build up for daily protests scheduled to happen throughout October against the GOP’s plans to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before November’s election,” Newsweek reports.
“Waiting for or relying on the upcoming election alone – an election Trump is already sabotaging and refusing to be bound by – to remove this regime is not just irresponsible. It is complicity,” Andy Zee, a co-initiator of RefuseFascism.org emphasizes.
“We must rise now, as millions did earlier this year for Black lives, uniting and preparing to struggle with all we’ve got to oust this fascist regime and bring its program to a halt,” Zee says. “Our actions must lead into an October of people from many different backgrounds and viewpoints coming together week after week, day after day, in growing continuing nonviolent protests that do not stop until this demand is met: TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!”
