In The Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!
Trump Must Go Now!
When talking to friends and family or strangers about Refuse Fascism, it’s essential to clearly understand the problem, our singular demand and our pledge, and the solution – how we make change happen. This guide gives you the words to explain all of this clearly.
The Problem: Fascism is Here. The Trump Fascist Regime Poses a Mortal Threat to Humanity
- Shredding basic rights and the rule of law, here and around the world.
- Attacks on democratic institutions and the truth, along with targeting vulnerable groups, normalizing repression and violence against immigrants, people of color women, the LGBTQ community, and all political opponents.
- Denying science and heading humanity to climate catastrophe.
- Fascism is never legitimate, even if voted into power. Once it consolidates, it can’t be voted out of power. The chances to stop it without more sacrifice become extremely slim.
- There is no living with fascism: silence is complicity.
The Demand: Immediate Removal of the Whole Trump Regime
- One clear unifying demand: The Fascist Trump Regime Must Go Now, humanity cannot afford to wait.
- This is a moral imperative, not a policy debate. The world cannot wait another day while the Trump fascist regime continues to commit crimes against humanity here and around the world.
- We pledge: In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!
The Solution: Mass, Sustained Nonviolent Protest, Not Elections
- Sustained, mass, nonviolent action in public spaces and throughout society making the demand: Trump Must Go Now
- Not stopping until the demand is met by creating such a political crisis such that the “business as usual” of fascism becomes impossible.
- Unite all who can be united around this mandate from the people from many diverse political, religious and ideological perspectives.
- Modeled on historical movements where sustained, mass, nonviolent protest toppled fascist regimes.
