We’re not just taking a stand here – we’ve got a real shot at winning. Change is coming – whether it’s change for the better or change for the worse depends on what we do now and whether we rise to the occasion to drive this fascist regime from power #DCProtests #TrumpPenceOutNow pic.twitter.com/yu4Xmld7vh
— Trump/Pence Must Go NOW—#OutNow (@RefuseFascism) June 8, 2020
This fascist regime poses a catastrophic danger to the whole world, and the whole world will take heart if we rise to another level of determined resistance. We have begun, but should we fail to see it through, this and every struggle for justice will be set back. If we succeed – and we can succeed – we can begin to force the boots of violent oppressors off the necks of our brothers and sisters. Let us change the course of history, not for ourselves alone but for all humanity.
This nightmare must end. The Trump/Pence regime must go! In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America. (Read Refuse Fascism’s entire call to join protests on June 6 and bring to them the demand Trump/Pence #OUTNOW!).

Media Impact
From coverage in the Chicago Defender
From the article:
Jamel Mims led the chanting. “George Floyd ain’t have to die!” he chanted in a call-and-repeat. “We all know the reason why.”“How long will it be before the Trump regime falls because of you?” he asked the crowd. “It’s going to take each and everyone one of us being out here. That’s where this shit needs to go.”
Their group condemned President Donald Trump’s order to deploy National Guard troops into Washington days earlier.
“We are at a serious crossroads. Trump is not just speaking the language of fascism, but in calling out the military in D.C. and threatening to do so nationally, Andy Zee, one of the group’s leaders, said.
Zee blamed Trump for encouraging what he called “fascism, white supremacy, xenophobia and patriarchy wrapped in the Bible and the American flag,” said Andy Zee, who insisted that “removing” the president from office on election Day will be “too late.”

The Baomoi news agency coverage of June 6 protests featured an older photo of Refuse Fascism
From coverage: “Over the last two weekends, hundreds of thousands of people in many countries took to the streets to protest racism. On June 7 [Vietnam date], peaceful protests on the 12th day after the death of George Floyd continued across the United States against racism and police brutality. Crowds also marched in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, New Orleans and San Francisco.”
