Refuse Fascism Spokespeople available to discuss the impending election, Trump’s threats, defending the vote, plans for protests, and breaking news:
▪
What are the implications of Trump remaining in power?
▪
Why do you say vote, but voting is not enough?
▪
How can Trump be stopped from stealing the election?
RefuseFascism.org is the only organization that has called out, since January 2017 (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.
“Election Day is upon us. The atmosphere is thick with threats from the Trump/Pence regime that there will not be a peaceful transfer of power, but rather a theft of the election – a “continuation” Trump called it … in reality, if they remain in power for 4 more years, it will be catastrophic for humanity with a leap in their fascist program.” Refuse Fascism
“Trump is already stealing the election…We must vote in big numbers, BUT we have to face the reality that voting alone will not stop Trump. We face a rolling fascist coup heading to a showdown November 3.”
“Coups… thefts of power are stopped when people plan and when they act BEFORE the coup — when they build unity and determination, in the streets, while working together — and when they establish the righteousness of their demand before the eyes of the world.”
The Washington Post, Nov 1 2017: “We formed this organization around two main points. One is that the nightmare must end, and second, in the name of humanity we must refuse to accept a fascist America.”

“This confirmation is a major advance in Trump’s illegitimate plan to secure a second term to impose his fascist program, by hook or by crook. Anyone who won’t admit that Trump has been preparing armed, fascist thugs … to hold onto power regardless of the election results is in deep denial. But Trump would very much prefer not to have to openly steal the election. This is where Coney Barrett’s confirmation is so extraordinary and immediately damaging.” “Last nite in DC, as Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in…”
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.”

“We are at a point where the main mechanism people rely on to remove this regime from power—the franchise–is being incinerated….Imagine the millions who do not support Trump coming into the streets and public squares to stand together, masks on, to declare without equivocation that they will not be complicit on a road to fascist consolidation and will not stop protesting until the Trump Pence regime is removed from power. Just as we saw from the mass protests in June and July, the regime and their base become overwhelmed by our numbers and determination.”
– “America needs a ‘coalition of the decent’ out in the streets,” Alternet, Oct 20
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.”
“Ice cube is doubly wrong. One, you don’t go to Trump – who has put kids in cages, attacked women’s and LGBTQ rights, tried to ban Muslims, and more – and ask him what’s in it for Black people. Two, there’s nothing good for Black people in dealing with Trump because the man is a genocidal racist!”
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.”
“These are not “normal” times. The deadly coronavirus that has been spread by the pandemo-fascist Trump administration has already killed 220,000-plus Americans and will likely 200,000 to 300,000 more by Inauguration Day…The [US] is in the middle of a related and attempted rolling coup being carried out by a White House….The sooner we start mobilizing in a serious way against the “slow motion Reichstag Fire” currently underway, the stronger our movement will be.” “Trump Out Now,” Counterpunch, Oct 26

RefuseFascism.org is a movement of people coming from diverse perspectives, united in our recognition that the Trump/Pence Regime poses a catastrophic danger to humanity and the planet, and that it is our responsibility to drive them from power through non-violent protests that grow every day until our demand is met. This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! Refuse Fascism invites all who agree with our mission to join us, as well as other groups and organizations to partner with us in the broader OUTNOW! movement of mass nonviolent protests that don’t stop till the regime is removed.
