Demonstrators marched down Mission Street on Monday, from 24th Street to the Federal Building to mark the 200,000th death by Covid-19, which organizers say is due to the president’s disregard for science.
“The March Against Death, Lies, and Fascism, and For Humanity,” was organized by a collection of local activist groups including Resistance SF and Wall of Many. At least three dozen people participated, many of whom carried prop body bags, signs, or umbrellas marked with the names of those who died from causes related to Covid-19. …
Refuse Fascism’s national website, where the initial call to action was posted, also stated that this march would precede daily demonstrations in October beginning on Oct.

The Atlanta action took place outside the national Center for Disease Control (CDC). Local TV news covered the protest as part of coverage of the scandal over the CDC, bullied by the Trump/Pence regime, distorting and censoring science-based advice on preventing the spread of COVID.

Nationwide Marches Against ‘Death, Lies and Fascism’ Planned as U.S. Nears 200,000 COVID-19 Deaths
More than a dozen marches are due to take place at cities across the country in protest of President Donald Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak as the U.S. nears 200,000 deaths.
Refuse Facism, a group who describe the Trump/Pence regime as a “catastrophic danger to humanity and the planet” have organized nationwide rallies for Monday, 21 September in response to the U.S having the highest coronavirus death count in the world.
And:
Coco Das, of the RefuseFascism.org Editorial Board, said: “Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a life-long stalwart fighter for the rights of women. She came to symbolize the hopes of so many who yearn for gender equality.
“Her 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.
“Monday’s protests will include reflections on what her loss means, and an occasion to turn grief into organized opposition to a fascist court and a fascist America and getting organized for daily protests in October.”
