17 September For Immediate Release Monday Marks Grim Milestone of 200,000 COVID-19 DeathsMarch Against Death, Lies & Fascism & FOR HumanityDemand Trump/Pence Out Now!September 21 Nationwide Protests NYC, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Philadelphia, SF & moreHundreds Protest Trump in Philadelphia on Tuesday“When Trump came to Philadelphia on Tuesday to spew more lies about COVID-19 and whitewash his genocidal racism, hundreds outside protested and demanded Trump/Pence Out Now,” says Coco Das of the RefuseFascism.org Editorial Board. “A new path of sustained, non-violent protest is being blazed. A force is gathering that will not stop until this fascist regime is driven from power. We must make this OUR time, not Trump’s.” Coverage, sights, and sounds here “On Monday, September 21, we’ll take the next step,” Das states, “marking the grim milestone of 200,000 COVID-19 deaths by holding nationwide marches with the resounding demand for an end to the death, lies, and fascist escalation: TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!” “Trump deliberately deceived the world about the danger of the virus at the cost of tens of thousands of lives. Bob Woodward got it on tape! Now, Trump continues to lie, assail science, traffic in conspiracy theories, hold super-spreading rallies, and sabotage attempts to contain the pandemic. Many of those lost – disproportionately Latinx, Black and Native American – Trump would have gladly killed off anyway,” says Carl Dix of RefuseFascism.org. “This is Trump’s genocidal, fascist worldview. Will it be yours?” Dix asks. “In word and deed, each of us must show where we stand.” “The science-hating response to COVID-19 is but one leading edge of an entire program of hatred, bigotry, and cruelty directed at the masses of people,” Dix continues. “The different strands of this fascist program – the white supremacy, the misogyny, the xenophobia, wrapped in the flag and the Bible taken literally – are consolidating into a different form of rule in this country, relying on violence, terror, and brutality.” “Waiting for or relying on the upcoming election alone – an election Trump is already sabotaging and refusing to be bound by – to remove this regime is not just irresponsible. It is complicity,” Andy Zee, a co-initiator of RefuseFascism.org emphasizes. “We must rise now, as millions did earlier this year for Black lives, uniting and preparing to struggle with all we’ve got to oust this fascist regime and bring its program to a halt,” Zee says. “Our actions must lead into an October of people from many different backgrounds and viewpoints coming together week after week, day after day, in growing continuing nonviolent protests that do not stop until this demand is met: TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!” New from Coco Das: Woodward Hid Trump’s Lies, But Waiting for the Election is WORSE! |
