November 20 – 22 saw three days of actions organized by the Removal Coalition, culminating in a massive rally in the National Mall on Saturday where thousands converged to demand the removal of the Trump regime.
Meanwhile, Trump escalated attacks on his political enemies and on the people of the world. On Thursday he posted that lawmakers from the Democratic Party, who urged members of the military to follow the Constitution and the rule of law instead of illegal orders from the Trump regime, should be put to death. The regime has carried out 21 illegal bombings of boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific, killing 83 people. It is threatening Venezuela with invasion, and an estimated 600,000 people around the world have died because of Trump’s cuts to global health programs. As of Friday, November 21, Over 370 people had been brutally arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina during a recent ICE/Border Patrol surge. These are just a few of the regime’s crimes.
Trump cannot be contained. Every day he stays in power, the atrocities escalate – and the space to oppose him shrinks. Thousands who came to DC this week must soon become millions.
On Monday, November 24, protesters will return to the White House for part 3 of Surround the White House [1.0]. Stay tuned for photos and video.

Dispatch from Daniel, Refuse Fascism Volunteer
Saturday’s Remove the Regime rally was staged near the famous reflecting pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. The speakers (including Jan. 6th capitol police Harry Dunn, House Rep. Al Green) at the initial rally presented an aligned but distinct goal from Refuse Fascism: impeach and convict Donald Trump now. Indeed, some women from New Hampshire rode on the NYC bus to DC after Rally buses in Boston and Springfield were cancelled! Midway through the rally, rays of sunlight began to poke through the blanket of gray storm clouds. Multiple bands, including the Dropkick Murphys, played at the rally. A band member called on other musicians against the Trump Fascist Regime to play at rallies like this. The protesters during the march, which ended at the Capitol, had strong energy, with dozens joining in for many Refuse Fascism chants. Street protest marching bands also came along for the full march and provided additional fire and energy!
