7 October For Immediate Release Refuse Fascism Spokespeople available to discuss:
RefuseFascism.org is the only organization that has called out, from day one (in full page ads in the New York Times and Washington Post), the fascist character of the Trump/Pence regime, analyzed its roots in American history and society, and has been organizing mass, non-violent protests demanding the regime’s removal from power ever since. Refuse Fascism has now begun daily non-violent protests that will continue from now through the elections, with one demand: “Trump/Pence Out Now!” This is a struggle for humanity’s future: will it be fascist, or will we act on our conscience? |
Andy Zee, co-Initiator Refuse Fascism, host RNL – Revolution Nothing Less – Show, spokesperson Revolution Books “We are in the midst of a rolling coup by the Trump/Pence regime. Now is the time that we have to act to prevent them from carrying this all the way through.” “What is the danger that the Trump/Pence government poses? Nothing less than the fate of the planet and humanity as we know it … should the regime be able to carry out their full plan, the result would be catastrophic.” “We formed this organization around two main points,” Andy Zee, one of the group’s organizers, told The Washington Post. “One is that the nightmare must end, and second, in the name of humanity we must refuse to accept a fascist America.” |
@SunsaraTaylor, co-Initiator Refuse Fascism, co-host RNL Show, Revcom.us writer, Host “We Only Want the World” Pacifica Radio “Mike Pence is a Christian Fascist and Amy Coney Barrett is a ‘home run’ for fascism and an imminent threat to abortion and all reproductive rights.” “Do you know that in Mike Pence’s Indiana, a woman was sentenced to 30 years in prison for allegedly inducing her own abortion or maybe just miscarrying? And it’s not funny when Trump ‘joked’ that Pence wants to hang gay people. That is where things are headed. Don’t say that could never happen here.” A Second Term Would Be Fascist ‘Shock and Awe – Demand: TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!” New York Times Jan 30, 2020 on Impeachment: “The idea that you have a jury, a Senate coordinating in lock step with the defendant, working to suppress evidence, to suppress witnesses — that’s not justice. That’s a sham. This is illegitimate.” |
@coco_das, writer and member of the Refuse Fascism Editorial Board. Articles have appeared in Alternet, Counterpunch, Pasadena Weekly, Truthout, and Women’s E-News. “Mike Pence, a dangerous holy warrior fighting to take away the hard-won rights of women and LGBTQ people, must go. Bill Barr, hammering in a “law and order” that tears up the rule of law, must go. The whole Trump/Pence regime is fascist, crushing basic rights and liberties, unleashing open terror and violence, accelerating the destruction of the environment, and demonizing group after group on a road to unspeakable horrors.” Newsweek, Sept 21: Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s “passing intensifies the urgent need to get in the streets to drive out the Trump/Pence regime as we speed toward an election that is being stolen.” |
@Carl_Dix co-initiator of Refuse Fascism, founding member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, co-initiator with Cornel West of the Stop Mass Incarceration Network. “Now’s not the time for comfortable but deadly delusions. Only in confronting the existential threat of fascism can we act together to stop it. Our vote alone isn’t enough – we need mass sustained nonviolent determined protest NOW” Washington Post, Aug 27: “Carl Dix, one of the group’s leaders, said the march was meant to emphasize the urgency behind the election, which he said will determine whether the country takes an irretrievable tilt toward fascism.” |
