Speech from Isabel Cardenas, co-initiator of Refuse Fascism, delivered on the steps of LA City Hall at the May First March and Rally in Los Angeles.
In less than 100 days, the Trump/Pence Regime has proven to be a danger to the whole planet Earth. This Regime is Illegitimate. It rests fundamentally on its fascist character. It is pledged to demonizing all people of Muslim faith, reducing women to subservient appendages of men, repressing and crushing Black and Brown youth, tearing apart millions of immigrant families, forcibly silencing all opposition even from within the ruling class – and brutally crushing any resistance from the masses…And being ready to go to—and perhaps over—the brink of nuclear war and environmental destruction. Trump ordered that 59 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles be dropped against Syria; and the second largest bomb in the world was also dropped against Afghanistan. These actions prove that we can expect from this regime incredibly greater levels of horror for ALL of humanity.
This Regime may drive this country into a World War III due to its design on world domination and the use of nuclear weapons to get there. It’s crucial that all citizens who really love humanity admit what their hearts know to be true even if they won’t admit it out loud: This Regime is Fascist, Racist and Illegitimate! We must have demonstrations of tens of millions of citizens demanding that the Trump-Pence Fascist Regime be driven out now!
In the name of humanity we cannot wait until 2018!
