Outrage and Resistance on Martin Luther King,Jr Day 2018

January 15, 2018

Across the country, Martin Luther King day was marked by outrage and protest over an overtly and obscenely white supremacist president, and anger over Trump’s dehumanizing attacks on immigrants. In many places Refuse Fascism was in the mix.

New York City:

MLK Day rally in Times Square drew a thousand Haitian immigrants and others who marched against the ending of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and Trump’s move deport tens of thousands of Haitians, along with his degrading insults against on Haitians, as well as Central Americans and Africans.

In Brooklyn, hundreds joined an MLK Day march called by a number of Arab and Arab-American organizations.

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.
