WE DEMAND THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES GRANT FIRST AMENDMENT PERMIT FOR EAST L.A. MARCH. DEMAND SHUT DOWN ICE! SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE TRUMP FASCIST REGIME!
Last week, Refuse Fascism was denied a Special Events/First Amendment permit by the Los Angeles Police Commission/City of Los Angeles. In spite of this first denial in ten years of requested permits, Refuse Fascism went forward with its powerful artistic human installation and procession/demonstration called “The Disappeared/Desaparacidos”.
Refuse Fascism applied for another Special Events/First Amendment permit for a planned March for Humanity from downtown to East L.A. this coming Saturday July 26, 2025. Again Refuse Fascism has received the same unconstitutional “budgetary” excuse for not granting a permit. The City of Los Angeles is setting a precedent for normalizing the suppression of citizens’ right to protest Trump’s MAGA fascist occupation of Los Angeles and the unconscionable cruelty of the mass deportations still underway.
The Trump regime has turned Los Angeles into a test case for full-blown fascism – With the Big Ugly Fascist Bill, ICE will be an occupying military force controlled by Trump and deployed nationwide. Every piece of civil rights legislation is now moot. Due process of law is moot for immigrants and will be if this is not stopped…for everyone. The institutions of science, medicine, education and the media are being systematically dismantled. Trump who has been threatening Governors, Mayors and Judges is now calling for prosecution of his most prominent critics.
Refuse Fascism says now is the time to call this the 5 alarm fire it is. An important announcement about the march being planned will be made at the 11a.m. press conference on the steps of City Hall.
