Refuse Fascism Announces July 1 Speak-Out and Press Conference: 
“America 250: NO to Whitewashing History”
THE WHOLE FASCIST TRUMP REGIME MUST GO NOW!


What:      Speak Out – Press conference
When:     Wednesday July 1 |  1:00 pm
Where:    Outside the National Museum of African American History and Culture, at the corner of 15th and Madison NW, Washington DC.

As celebrations kick off this week in Washington DC, RefuseFascism.org is gathering people of conscience outside the National Museum of African American History and Culture on July 1 to declare “America 250: NO to Whitewashing History.”  

America at 250 is ruled by a fascist regime which has bludgeoned truth, attacked academic freedom, and purged government institutions of words and historical scholarship they don’t like – transforming these institutions into instruments of fascist repression that silence dissenting voices and support their alternative-fact-fueled version of history. This erasure will be on full display during Trump’s July 4th celebrations – rewriting the past in order to dominate the future. 

Sam Goldman, a national leader with RefuseFascism.org, says “The Trump/MAGA fascists seek to suppress and whitewash the real history of this country while celebrating and resurrecting the legacy of genocide, slavery, patriarchy, and imperialist conquest. They seek to impose an official mythology of unquestioned American greatness while criminalizing dissent, censoring educators and artists, reshaping museums and federal institutions, and conditioning millions to see critical thought itself as dangerous or un-American.” 

The July 1 event will also include an announcement of Refuse Fascism’s plans for a July 4 rally and march. This is a time when the demand: “Trump Must Go Now!” needs to be seen, heard and felt everywhere.

Refuse Fascism is building a movement across the country that is clear on the problem—Trump fascism—and uniting all who can be united to stop it through mass, nonviolent struggle demanding TRUMP MUST GO NOW.

AMERICA at 250 RULED by an ILLEGITIMATE FASCIST REGIME on TRACK to DESTROY the WORLD

The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go NOW!
In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America.

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.
