RefuseFascism.org has called for people to take to the streets in emergency response to declare, “The Blood of El Paso is on The Hands of the Trump/Pence Regime! This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!”
Immigrants are being gunned down by fascist white supremacists, while other immigrants are murdered in US concentration camps on the border. Trump’s fascist base chants “send them back” and “go back” at fascist rallies while the white supremacist-in-chief rants outright fascist tropes: talking about people as “vermin” from “shithole countries.” The massacres over the past couple days are the tip of the iceberg of a fascist regime barreling ahead and its increasingly emboldened fascist “base.
Travis Morales, of Refuse Fascism challenges people to join stating, “Isn’t it time to call it like it is and start acting accordingly?! What we face is fascism. We must stop it NOW. 2020 is too late. Today we need to be in the streets saying we refuse to accept a fascist America and show that we are getting organized to drive out this regime.”
In their statement on RefuseFascism.org they encourage people to bring their outrage and determination along with signs, banners, whistles and noisemakers. to join in saying and acting on: “In the Name of Humanity: We REFUSE To Accept a Fascist America We Demand: The Trump/Pence Regime Must GO!”
