Monday, July 28: Blow the Whistle on ICERefuseFascism.org Launches Noncompliant Actions to Shut Down ICE, Shut Down the Whole Trump Fascist Regime
What: Noise Demonstrations – Photo Ops
When: Monday, July 28, lunchtime and 6pm noise demos
Where: Washington DC, NYC, Chicago; other cities
As ICE terror intensifies, National Guard troops are deployed in the streets, and Trump escalates his attacks on the rule of law, due process, and the right to dissent, Refuse Fascism is launching No Business As Usual – a nationwide campaign of growing, continuous, mass noncompliance and nonviolent resistance to stop the consolidation of fascism.
From New York to San Francisco, Chicago to Houston, people will blow the whistle on ICE, take to the streets with disruptive noise, and initiate forms of mass nonviolent defiance that continue week after week.
“This is not protest-as-usual. It’s preparation for the moment that must come soon — when millions rise up together, nonviolently but with determination, to grind the machinery of the Trump regime to a halt and refuse to stop until it is removed from power,” said Coco Das, a National Leader of Refuse Fascism. “This means building the networks, the organization, and the culture of defiance now.”
July 28 is just the beginning. Refuse Fascism is urging people from all walks of life — students, artists, faith leaders, healthcare workers, immigrants, union members — to become part of building a movement that refuses to comply with fascism and fights to bring millions into sustained nonviolent resistance.
