Refuse Fascism has initiated nonviolent protests to continue day after day united in the demand: Trump/Pence Out Now!

“We face a rolling coup barreling to a showdown on November 3,” says Andy Zee, co-initiator of RefuseFascism.org, “The Trump/Pence regime has said and shown they will not abide by an election they lose. The struggle for the future is on: Will it be Fascist, Or, Will We Act?”

“In our millions, all those who do not want a fascist America must act.” says Coco Das, of the Refuse Fascism Editorial Board, “We must do what the German people did not do: refuse to be complicit in the consolidation of fascism. We must unite in determined, non-violent protest demanding Trump/Pence OUTNOW!”

A Pledge:

In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America.

The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

We will speak, we will stand, we will shout and march. Together. Everyday.

We Pledge:

To stop a regime that imperils the people of the world and the earth itself
We will take to the streets, day after day, and call forth others

We Demand Trump/Pence Out Now!
We will not stop until they’re gone.

We do not comply with a regime:

putting targets on the backs of Black, brown, and Native people denying women control of their bodies
forcing LGBTQ people back into the closet

We do not accept:

a society ruled by hate and bigotry, ignorance and brutality, demeaning and cursing other peoples and countries and
threatening them with destruction

There can be:

no more children torn from parents and locked in cages, no more fire and fury from the mouth of a demented bully
with his finger on the nuclear trigger,
no more mass COVID death from science-hating lunacy no more “law and order” of official terror
by bullets, batons, and tear gas

No longer can we live with:

howling mobs resurrecting Jim Crow
fascist thugs attacking our protests
the right to vote stolen by defenders of the Confederacy

We will not worship the flag or accept a theocracy.
We will not become collaborators on a march to a racist genocide.
We will not hand the future to scorchers of the planet.

4 more years, 4 more months, and it could be too late

to change the course of history as the Trump/Pence regime sabotages the election and drags
humanity to the edge of extinction.

Here and Now, we pledge to unite in our millions

rising together in nonviolent resistance to stop a great horror.

We pledge to stay in the streets, overcoming fear and uncertainty, until this American fascism is brought to a halt.

We pledge our determination to prevail over a regime that imperils the people of the world and the earth itself.

In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America.
