15 October – For Immediate Release PROTEST TODAY, Oct 15, 12 NOON, Handmaids Procession to U.S. Supreme Court:Sunsara Taylor: “ACB refuses to uphold peaceful transfer of power – she’s part of rolling coup”Stop the Confirmation! No Fascist Court! No Fascist Coup!Trump Already Stealing Election. Voting Will Not Be EnoughJoin the OutNow! Movement & Protest Every DayTrump/Pence OUT NOW!“Yesterday, Amy Coney Barrett refused to answer the most basic questions about whether Trump could postpone the election, voter intimidation was illegal, or if she’d recuse herself from a Trump election challenge,” says RefuseFascism.org co-initiator Sunsara Taylor, who will be protesting and reporting from Washington, DC this week. “She’s part of Trump’s rolling fascist coup. We demand No Fascist Court, No Fascist Coup, Trump/Pence Out Now!” Christian Theocracy + Destroying the Elections = FASCISM“We face a critical crossroads,” says Taylor. “As the regime tears up norms, refuses to be bound by elections, and unleashes fascist violence, voting is essential, but not enough! We need to take to the streets and stay in the streets demanding Trump/Pence Out Now! We must overwhelm their fascist coup and terror with our nonviolent, massive, day after day protests until the regime is removed from power. We must do this in the name of humanity.” “The steamrolled confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett will lock in a pro-fascist majority to throw the election to Trump no matter how you vote,” Taylor continues. “It will transform the highest court in the land into an instrument of white supremacist, Christian theocratic atrocity stripping women, LGBTQ people, and many more of their basic human rights.” “The Trump/Pence regime has already labeled legitimate protest as ‘sedition’ and ‘insurrection,’” states RefuseFascism.org co-initiator Andy Zee. “It demonizes and brutalizes immigrants, Black people, Latinos, Native Americans, women, LGBTQ people, the media and peaceful protesters. It opposes science, leading to a country and a planet burning and drowning, and to unconscionable unnecessary death and illness from COVID.” “This is fascism, hammering in a form of rule that relies on terror and violence. If fascism fully takes hold in this country, the consequences for humanity will be catastrophic,,” Zee says. “We must act. Day after day from now through the election, come into the streets and city squares in non-violent protest to demand Trump/Pence OUTNOW!” says Coco Das, a member of the Refuse Fascism Editorial Board. “Bring others and come back in waves, just as we did in June and July when we came back day after day to march for Black lives,” says Carl Dix, a Refuse Fascism co-initiator. “With the demand that the regime must go, and mass non-violent protests that do not stop until the demand is met, hated regimes around the world have been driven from power.” “Now is the time to show the world that we in our millions are uniting in mass, non-violent protest to demand Trump/Pence Out Now, not stopping till they’re gone,” Dix states. In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!SUNSARA TAYLOR FROM WASHINGTON DC: “We need to wake people up to the reality of this fascist coup and the urgency to act” JOIN REFUSE FASCISM & THE OUTNOW!
