With over 1/4 million people already deported, many without due process and over 70% with no criminal record and with Border Czar Tom Homan promising to “ramp up” deportations after Labor Day in sanctuary cities.  This isn’t about policy – this is fascism.  It’s state sanctioned violence with masked federal agents, backed by U.S. soldiers – terrorizing communities forcing people to stay locked in their homes for months, afraid to go to work or school. We have protested, we have marched, we have defended our neighbors from ICE…but the terror has not stopped, and in fact it is escalating. This is an existential threat to humanity and it has to get directed to the source of this terror – the Trump Fascist Regime: The Whole Trump Fascist Regime Must Be Driven From Power!

As RefuseFascism.org’s call “The time has come for…THE FALL of the TRUMP FASCIST REGIME…” states:

“Fascism is not a looming threat. It is upon us now. Humanity’s only hope is for the decent people of this country to rise in our millions. We cannot wait for future and rigged elections. We must drive the Trump Fascist Regime from power.

“Beginning November 5, the one-year anniversary of Trump’s election, flood DC in nonviolent protest. Surround the White House.
 Surround the Capitol. Surround the illegitimate fascist-packed Supreme Court. Come back again and again. Across the country, refuse to comply. Every person of conscience, millions of us together, grind the machinery of the fascist regime to a halt. Don’t stop until Trump is removed.”

In The Name of Humanity – We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America
THE FASCIST TRUMP REGIME MUST GO NOW!

We will be taking Los Desaparecidos/The Disappeared art installation to Washington, DC for “The time has come for…THE FALL of the TRUMP FASCIST REGIME – Beginning November 5, 2025.

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NOW IS the TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP and ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in non-violent protest—not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program or maintain its hold on power.
