I am writing to state my whole-hearted support for the call by Refuse Fascism to, starting November 5 (the first anniversary of Trump’s election), begin flooding Washington DC with the millions of us who have been living this past year in a constant state of shock and horror. This is an outlandishly bold call–for massive, sustained, nonviolent actions with the goal of inspiring resistance from every level of society, including in the government itself, ultimately making it impossible for the Trump regime to continue its rule….
Here is the reality I believe we face:

–No matter what your generation, we are today in the fight of our lives;
-This is the most critical moment faced by the people of this country and the world since the rise of Hitler;
–That is NOT hyperbole. Today we are not just facing Trump, but the entire Republican Party and the Christian Fascist movement that has been building and working for decades to massively reshape this country and the world in their image;
–This is no easy fight. Far from it, this will take determination and sacrifices we haven’t seen yet. But consider this: Up until now, TRUMP IS WINNING. We have got to face that reality and take huge steps in this battle to turn the tide;
–This call by Refuse Fascism and an increasing number of organizations and individuals who have been fighting Trump and his accolytes on every front IS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY to gather together all of the tremendous opposition that has been building to this regime, from every political perspective, and create a situation in which EVERYONE, including Democratic politicians, is emboldened to take a stand. If you can be there, be there. If you can’t, contribute money and find ways to spread and sustain that movement. History is calling on us, folks. We cannot turn away.
