NOVEMBER 4: 100s in Cities Across the U.S. Demand “Count Every Vote,” Refuse Fascism in the mix with OUT NOW!

The resistance as Trump moves to steal the election needs to go to a whole other level, but in cities across the country there were protests demanding count every vote, and Refuse Fascism was in the streets, in the mix and reaching out beyond the activists with the message TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW because this is a FASCIST REGIME.

Washington, DC—About 50 activists with Extinction Rebellion DC, ShutDownDC, and Sunrise Movement DC marched in the streets the day after the election, chanting “Trump lies, democracy dies” and demanding that all the votes be counted. The protesters marched to Fox News and then the headquarters of the Republican National Committee (RNC).

Chicago
Hundreds of people marched through the downtown Loop area, chanting slogans like “Hey, hey, ho, ho—Donald Trump has got to go!”


Houston

About 125 people came out to a rally called by the HTX Election Defenders coalition with the demand #CountEveryVote. It was organized by many of the progressive groups in Houston, youth, environmentalists, Democrats, RF, Womens March, and other activists. United by the demand to protect the election, different viewpoints were expressed, ranging from young people calling out the fascism of Trump, to the need to stay in the streets until Trump/Pence are gone by RF, to some people speaking to their confidence in the electoral process. Along with “Count Every Vote” and periodic “Trump/Pence Out Now” chants, one chant that set the tone was “the people are peaceful we know what to do, we’re rising together to stop this coup.”

Minneapolis

Minneapolis–Hundreds of people marched through the streets, at one point shutting down traffic on the interstate I-94. They called for all votes in the presidential election to be counted, and also demanded end to murder by police and end to homelessness.

RefuseFascism Mission Statement

July 2021

RefuseFascism.org exposes, analyzes, and stands against the very real danger and threat of fascism coming to power in this country. Seventy-four million people voted for Trump in 2020. The Republi-fascist Party has been purged of dissenting voices. The mass fascist movement has hardened in the wake of their January 6 coup attempt. Fascist initiatives around restricting voting, immigration and abortion rapidly advance in statehouses across the country. The election of Biden has not eliminated the danger, it has only bought some time. … READ AND SHARE THE ENTIRE MISSION STATEMENT
