27 August For Immediate Release Tonight in Washington DC, Refuse Fascism Protest to Demand Trump Pence Out Now!PROTEST “With the close of the RNC, we are speeding toward an election that will be a showdown over the form of rule in this country. Will the Trump/Pence regime be allowed to hammer in their vision of a white Christian fascist America – with Trump worshipped as the hand of their god with a divine right to rule? This is what has been promised through this week’s horror show,” says Coco Das, editor of refusefascism.org. Relying on the elections that this regime is already sabotaging without a mass protest movement refusing to accept a fascist regime will be a catastrophe. Starting now, we must show the world that we are uniting, we are organizing, we are determined, we are preparing to struggle with all we’ve got, and we will not stop until the Trump/Pence regime is driven from power and its fascist program brought to a halt. Tonight, as Trump makes his final fascist speech on the White House Lawn accepting his party’s nomination, Refuse Fascism will be there to protest and demand Trump Pence Out Now! Interviews available with Carl Dix and Jamel Mims, leaders of today’s protest.“Law and order for the fascist-in-chief means police & vigilantes can wantonly gun down Black & Brown people-And people must suffer this terror in silence. This is a big reason why we must say #TrumpPenceOutNow in the streets tonight.” says Carl Dix. “The double homicide in Kenosha is the future in Trump’s Amerikkka. Open white supremacists terrorizing the streets, collaborating with police – murdering #BLM protestors. In 3 years in office – they’ve only grown more emboldened. We have to drive Trump and these fascists out NOW,” says Jamel Mims. Read the call for Refuse Fascism protest in DC “Now is the time for millions of people in this country to marshal the real power that we have, the power of mass non-violent protest to manifest to the world that a force in this country is uniting, organizing, and preparing to struggle with all we’ve got, starting now and not stopping until this regime is gone from power and the fascist program it is bludgeoning into place is brought to a screeching halt.” Interviews Available: Carl Dix is a founding member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, a co initiator with Cornel West of the Stop Mass Incarceration Network, and a co initiator of RefuseFascism.org.
