J20 Washington DC - Shut Down Trump's Inauguration


J20RESIST.ORG (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQ0PGQtaBEhXD1QBAw) DONATE (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQ0AGQtaBEhXD1QBAw) FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQ0BGQtaBEhXD1QBAw)

WE REFUSE! NO PASÁRAN! SHUT DOWN TRUMP’S INAUGURATION

J20resist.org (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQwIGQtaBEhXD1QBAw) is a resource to assist this historic moment. It is a way for peopleall over the country to coordinate to push back against Trump and those who enabled his rise to power.

At J20resist.org (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQwIGQtaBEhXD1QBAw) groups and individuals can connect up, coordinate travel to DC, connect with local actions – student walk-outs, stay aways, shut downs and rallies in the U.S. and around the world.

On January 20th, hundreds of thousands of people will be storming the streets across the US against Trump’s accelerated assault on migrants, LGBTQ people, women, unions, people of color, and the entire working class.

Now more than ever, we need massive resistance in the streets to shut down Trump’s agenda of racism, sexism, migrant-bashing, cutbacks and war. With capitalism in decline, this agenda can be a recipe for fascism.

While both the Democrats and the Republicans are telling us now to accept the results of the election and look to “work with” President Trump, we completely refuse to accept this racist billionaire as the leader of this country. Trump has no solutions for the real issues faced by billions of workers across the world.

Capitalism, imperialism and the racist cops occupying our communities are the real problem. We, the millions of people ready to take direct action against the attacks of a Trump administration, are the solution.

Only mass action can push back this racist, sexist agenda. We are entering a new era of historic resistance, led by the struggles of Black Lives Matter and the water protectors at Standing Rock. We stand ready to put our bodies in front of deportation busses, bulldozers, tanks and other war machines. The working class and oppressed must join together in this historic moment with the full understanding that real power is in the streets, not in the White House and not the Pentagon.

Let’s show on January 20th that another world is possible. There is an alternative to racist terror, sexist oppression, homophobia, transphobia, migrant-bashing and bigotry. There is an alternative to capitalism and fascism.

On January 20th, let’s shut down DC with a historic mobilization of the people, united against Trump’s assault on the people.

Let’s fight for the revolution we really need. Now is our time to be in the streets.

We say NO to Trump, NO to Clinton, NO to capitalism, NO to war and NO to the two-party system that supports all of the above.

On Friday, January 20th, we will make sure our collective voice is heard throughout the halls of power and across the world.

Join us!

Attorneys from the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund along with activists organizing demonstrations during and after Donald Trump's Inauguration held a press conference this morning demanding access to sites in Washington, D.C., for protests.

At least a dozen groups representing tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people who plan to come to Washington, D.C., around the Inauguration, including for planned marches on the day after the Inauguration, Saturday, January 21, are being denied permits by federal authorities for key sites in D.C. including the Ellipse, the Lincoln Memorial, Lafayette Park, the National Mall and other locations.

The PCJF has uncovered that the National Park Service has issued a massive, omnibus blocking permit to the Trump Presidential Inaugural Committee authorizing it not only exclusive use of virtually every major assembly site in Washington, D.C., under NPS jurisdiction, but additionally allowing Trump’s PIC to keep those locations from being used by others for weeks before and after the Inauguration.

The PCJF issued a letter today to the NPS demanding that it withdraw its omnibus set-asides as an unconstitutional abridgment of First Amendment rights and allow organizations access to these federal lands under a neutral first-come, first-served permitting system.

PCJF Executive Director, constitutional rights lawyer Mara Verheyden-Hilliard stated: "We are faced with the extraordinary and unconstitutional situation where Trump’s private partisan Inaugural Committee is being allowed to decide where or even if demonstrators will be allowed to protest the Trump agenda on federal land in the nation’s capital.” She continued, “However, for all of those who are concerned, who are thinking about changing their plans - because that is the unconstitutional effect of what the Park Service and Trump's inaugural committee are doing -- we're here to say that it is lawful and safe to peacefully march in Washington D.C., and we welcome everyone to the District of Columbia to engage in their free speech rights."

Carl Messineo, Legal Director of the PCJF, stated, "On the first full day of the Trump Administration, people are coming from all over the country to stand together and articulate their vision of a better future. We are committed to defending the First Amendment rights that belong to the people to engage in free speech and assembly at this critical moment.”

The future of free expression under a Trump administration is on the line. PCJF will continue our work to defend the right to assemble before, during and after the inauguration to fight back against racism, misogyny, and stand in defense of immigrant and Muslim communities.

We need your support (http://www.justiceonline.org/donate?e=84aab3269399c192a83de08f64886f1e&utm_source=justiceonline&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=inaugpressconf&n=4) to defend fundamental rights that are under attack.

World Can't Wait

World Can't Wait friends -- Please take a look at the monumental project we are supporting. You can be among the first to sign on. It is being initated by: Herb Boyd, Carl Dix, Niles Eldredge, Charles Gaines, Everett Iron Eyes Sr., PZ Myers, Milton Saier, Sunsara Taylor, Cornel West, Michael A. Wood Jr., Andy Zee, and David Zeiger.

Trump’s election was illegitimate and his ascension to power would be even more so, and must not be allowed. It is the moral duty of us all to seriously confront the potential consequences of what this regime could do in power, and then to act accordingly.

Please read, sign and embrace this Call (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=E8clwIBF6pDdnA0gOMduV4GURzMNZJpj) for a massive month of resistance before Donald Trump is inaugurated and has the full reins of power in his hands. Millions of us must create such a profound political crisis before the intended inauguration (January 20, 2017) that the fascist regime is actually not able to take the reins of government.

The month begins with nationwide protests Monday December 19, when the Electoral College meets. On New Year's Eve, we take protest to Trump properties here and across the globe. January 14-16, MLK weekend, there must be massive protest, including in Washington DC, which grow to millions.

Go now to refusefascism.org to sign (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=N0y0w%2FbznSLoK6%2FmfHSMLoGURzMNZJpj) and donate (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=kEIrJtQqGw5YgDinKDfBI4GURzMNZJpj).

Everything we do now together matters for humanity. Here's the text of the Call. Sign at refusefascism.org
Also see the proposal initiated by the voices of consience, above.

NO! In the Name of Humanity,

We REFUSE To Accept a Fascist America!

Donald Trump, the President-elect, is assembling a regime of grave danger. Millions of people in the US and around the world are filled with deep anxiety, fear, and disgust. Our anguish is right and just. Our anger must now become massive resistance – before Donald Trump is inaugurated and has the full reins of power in his hands.

Should we fail to rise with determination and daring in our millions now to stop this, the consequences for humanity will be disastrous. We, the undersigned, know in the depths of our beings, the catastrophe that will befall the people of the world should the Trump/Pence regime assume full power.

We therefore CALL FOR A MONTH OF RESISTANCE beginning on December 19, reaching a crescendo by the January 20 2017 Inauguration.

Our resistance must spread rapidly to every sphere and every corner of the country. Because we refuse to accept a fascist America, millions must rise up in a resistance with a deep determination such that we create a political crisis that prevents the TRUMP/PENCE fascist regime from consolidating its hold on the governance of society.

The Presidency of Donald Trump is illegitimate.

Donald Trump did not win the popular vote. Not even close, he lost by 2.5 million votes. He won the Electoral College – an institution set up in 1787 to protect slavery. This legacy of the most brutal oppression of Black people has become the means that enabled the election of Trump and Pence.

More fundamentally, it is the fascist character of the Trump/Pence regime and what they are planning to do which renders it illegitimate and an immoral peril to the future of humanity and the earth itself.

Under the slogan “Make America Great Again,” Donald Trump has viciously attacked Mexicans and Muslims, threatening to register and deport millions, closing borders. He incites fear and hate of all who are “different” – nationalities, religions, or gender. He crudely demeans and degrades women, openly boasting about molesting them. He champions white supremacy and whips up a racist lynch-mob mentality. Trump has mocked the disabled. He is a bellicose militarist, who threatens to use nuclear weapons. He openly advocates war crimes — including torture. He vows to pack the Supreme Court with justices who will take away the right to abortion and gay rights. He denies science – calling climate change a hoax and will wreak devastation on the environment. He has attacked and threatened the press and stirred up his supporters to do the same. He has threatened to strip citizenship for constitutionally protected dissent. Trump has utter contempt for facts and the truth, and consistently lies to advance his agenda. As for the rule of law, Trump went so far as to openly threaten his opponent, Hillary Clinton, not only with jail, but even assassination. By any definition, Donald Trump is a fascist. He has put together a regime who will carry out this program, and worse.

This is fascism and it is a very serious thing. It has direction and momentum that must be stopped before it becomes too late.

Fascism foments and relies on xenophobic nationalism, racism, misogyny, and the aggressive re-institution of oppressive “traditional values.” Fascism feeds on and encourages the threat and use of violence to build a movement and come to power. Fascism, once in power, essentially eliminates traditional democratic rights. Fascism attacks, jails, even executes its opponents, and launches violent mob attacks on “minorities.” In Nazi Germany in the 1930s and ’40s, fascism did all these things. This is where this can go. And yes, Hitler himself could “talk graciously” when he felt it would serve his interests and lull his opponents.

In the world today, shockwaves reverberate. Over decades in the U.S. virulent movements of white supremacy and anti-immigrant hysteria have gained momentum. A narrow, intolerant, and political form of Christian fundamentalism has been brought into government and policy at all levels. The Trump/Pence cabinet and judiciary will coalesce all of this and worse with horrific consequences at the highest level of power. No election, whether fair or fraudulent, should legitimize this. “Reaching across the aisle” only legitimizes that which is illegitimate.

If you work with fascists you normalize the road to horror. You cannot try to “wait things out.” Those who lived through Nazi Germany and sat on the sidelines, looking on as Hitler demonized, criminalized, and eventually rounded up one group after another, became shameful collaborators with monstrous crimes. Don’t Conciliate...Don’t Accommodate...Don’t Collaborate!

The Trump Regime Must and Can Be Stopped Before It Starts!

This is not wishful thinking but could be made a reality if all who hate what is represented by this fascist regime translate our outrage into massive mobilization to create the political conditions which make this possible. We are millions. Our only recourse now is to act together outside normal channels. Every faction within the established power structure must be forced to respond to what we do – creating a situation where the Trump/Pence regime is prevented from ruling.

We call on each and every one who opposes what this regime stands for, and what it will do, to take part in and actively build, this resistance and refusal. Organize. Plan. Act.


The Month of Resistance

Starting 12/19/16, it begins – the day the Electoral College meets to vote in each state: hold a press conference or a protest. Starting now, distribute this Call everywhere and on social media, host house meetings, fundraising events concerts and forums. Everywhere step up the resistance: walkouts from schools and work, protests against attacks and threats on Muslims, women, people of color, LBGT people – all linked to the objective of Stopping the Trump/Pence regime. The struggle must grow.

On MLK weekend, there needs to be massive demonstrations of many thousands in key cities, including Washington, D.C., that grow to millions over the next week, protests that don’t stop . . . where people refuse to leave and more and more people stand up with conviction and courage demanding:

NO! We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!

#J20Resist March


http://www.workers.org/j20/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/j20resistnew.jpg


DONATE! (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAgMOGQNSBQwaCFcABVE)


#J20Resist March!

6 am: Begin to gather in front of Union Station (anti-Columbus Circle), Washington DC
10 am: March to the White House

On January 20th, hundreds of thousands of us will hit the streets in Washington DC (https://www.facebook.com/events/1114075848690917/), Los Angeles and countless cities large and small across the country to protest the inauguration of racist, sexist billionaire Donald Trump. Join us for our first battle.

We are busy organizing scores of buses from Boston to Detroit and transportation from as far south as Charlotte, North Carolina. But we need your help. Make a $30 donation (http://www.workers.org/j20/donate/) to cover the cost of one person’s trip to DC in solidarity with this critical event or visit our website to connect with local groups and mobilize (http://www.workers.org/j20/organize/). If you can’t be with us in the streets, help us spread the word and collect donations.


Our march on the White House will serve as the first blow against the Trump Presidency. Trump’s all-out assault on the working class, especially targeting people of color, women, LGBTQ people, migrants, Muslims and unions, urgently requires a united fightback movement. Rather than preparing for mass demonstrations, Democrats have focused on blaming Russia, ignoring their own attacks on the working class which caused their loss.

We know Russia didn’t do it! The capitalist system is to blame, with its racism, sexism, anti-LGBTQ violence, Islamophobia, war-threats, cutbacks and more.

Only the people united can defeat Trump. Join us on January 20th as we join together to shut down Trump!

In struggle,

I definitely support counter-Inaugural demonstrations and plan to attend one.

[almost]

https://libcom.org/news/international-anarchist-federations-declares-support-j20-22122016
International of Anarchist Federations (IFA/IAF) declares its support for J20 protest and actions against Donald Trump. English #DisruptJ20 As International of Anarchist Federations (IAF-IFA), we support the demonstrations planned to take place during the inauguration of Donald Trump, 20 January 2017. It should go without saying that we do not support Hilary Clinton or any other politician : we know they are both faces of capitalism, racism and war. But the inauguration of Trump means the legitimisation of white supremacism, neo-nazism and mysoginy. We don't give a damn about élections ; the change we fight for will be archived only by ourselves, trought direct action. We expect nothing from politicians but suffering, exploitation and oppression. We stand with all those experiencing police attacks, racist murders and sexist violence.

J20 GLOBAL Appeal for protests against Trump, the new face of U.S. imperialism


#J20Resist: Call for global actions against Trump, the new face of U.S. imperialism

On Friday, January 20, a new U.S. administration will be sworn in.

On Friday, January 20, we will protest continuing U.S. wars for global domination.

The new Trump administration enters office promising to:

Boost U.S. military spending and the capacity to wage war;
Escalate attacks on Latinx, Muslim, and other immigrant and oppressed communities;
Expand U.S. nuclear weapons capacity;
Gut environmental regulations and grant impunity to corporate and military polluters;
Increase state repression against Black, Native and other oppressed nationalities; and
Launch a wholesale attack on the working class in the U.S.

On Friday, January 20, in Washington DC and cities across the U.S., hundreds of thousands will take the streets to protest an agenda of war and racism.

Whether the Democrats’ Hillary Clinton or the Republican’s Donald Trump sat in the White House, U.S. imperialism would pose a threat to peace.

Each candidate competed to exceed the other in enthusiasm for U.S. wars, repression and austerity, and in devotion to the ambitions of US. capitalism.

But the open racism, sectarianism, anti-immigrant and anti-working class bigotry of the incoming Trump administration has aroused a mass response.

This unprecedented outpouring of resistance presents an opportunity to mobilize against war and racism, and to defend the interests of workers globally.

Make Friday, January 20 a day of global action to build the most anti-war, anti-racist and pro-worker impulses of the mass reaction to the new U.S. administration.

Please consider what is possible in your country and in cities across the U.S. Can you protest a U.S. embassy, consulate or mission? In the U.S. plan actions at Federal Buildings and central city plazas. Can your union, party or other organization issue a statement against Trump and his agenda for U.S. imperialism? However you can, please take action!

New York Times Yesterday, O'Reilly Tonight, Help Build Momentum


Refuse Fascism


Chris

Yesterday, our full page ad in the New York Times was seen by hundreds of thousands. Online sign-ups and donations jumped. Common Dreams (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=zNX.D5jMYXsoMi3FUrXhmA) and Variety (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=4DPc7CawTBPhuQppE.usEw) took notice.

Tonight, Carl Dix and Cornel West, co-initiators of Refuse Fascism, are scheduled to appear on The O'Reilly Factor (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=rJV210BN5ryCDo7S7vKdDw). They will be bold, poised and uncompromising in calling out the fascism of Trump and calling forward the resistance of millions. Tune in at 8pm on the East Coast, or check your local listings.

https://hostedimages-cdn.aweber-static.com/MTEwMzI4MQ==/original/5d1cc8746ccd4a93ab960ce1d201520a.jpeg

You are needed to build on this momentum!

Spread the word of this ad – and tonight's O'Reilly appearance – to everyone you know. On social media, on the phone, at work, through email.

Gather family and friends tonight. Read the Call to Action out loud (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=KKMX9LofbDTyxUQ5dgtwIA). Discuss. Make plans. Watch O'Reilly together — don't forget to tweet during the broadcast using the hashtag #NoFascistUSA (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=kdwVpicXuoxsdyWsV2cedg).

Donate as much as you can (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=._2mzGGT2txncJTRbyy1jw) – we are fighting to stop a catastrophe for the whole world.

Your funds will make the difference in mobilizing people in the streets, in making signs and stickers that spread the “NO!” far and wide. Your funds are needed to publish this Call in more places – like the Washington Post and beyond.

We have 14 days until the inauguration that must not happen. As jazz musician Matthew Shipp recently put it:

"[W]e have to shut down the whole country--- in an unprecedented movement of saying no to feces trump--everyone needs to do what they can--millions and millions need to be involved to stop business as usual in all ways and bring the country to its knees."

Come DC! Starting Saturday, January 14, and building every day the streets of DC must be flooded with people to prevent Trump-Pence from taking power (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=FuxONd0Nu4TUDHSU3D9kGw).

If you can't do that, take to the streets in your own city – all across this country – and don't stop. Hook up with actions already planned, or make your own and send them to be posted on refusefascism.org (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=DNPQuccBmBdkfaPL79ZhqQ)

Finally, a great new resource:

Many have asked, “How could Trump-Pence actually be prevented from ruling?” and other important questions. We have answers! Check out the new FAQs (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=xFIp5480l9zs0aAprkA.gQ).

Read + Share: FAQs (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=j8J0rUZIlRHXzco&b=xFIp5480l9zs0aAprkA.gQ)

Let us know what you think.

Don't Conciliate... Don't Accommodate... Don't Collaborate!

Organize. Plan. Act.

best,

PCJF announces imminent litigation over Inauguration protest permits


Partnership for Civil Justice Fund


Dear Chris,

Today the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund announced imminent litigation over the National Park Service and Trump's Inaugural Committee's ongoing withholding of public space for permitted protest around the inauguration.

Please donate to support this fight for free speech. (http://www.justiceonline.org/donate?e=84aab3269399c192a83de08f64886f1e&utm_source=justiceonline&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=permitvictory&n=2)

As discussed at a press conference this afternoon, the PCJF notified the NPS by letter that it was in violation of the permanent injunction entered against it in 2008 in federal court litigation brought by the PCJF and gave it until Friday to issue permits for free speech activities or face legal action.

Below is an excerpt of a Reuters article:

Civil rights lawyers threatened Thursday to sue the U.S. government agency that manages much public land in Washington, accusing it of quashing dissent by not issuing permits for protests of Republican Donald Trump's presidential inauguration.

Up to 900,000 people are expected to pack into the nation's capital for the New York businessman's January 20 swearing-in to his first political office. Some plan to criticize Trump's more controversial promises, including plans to build a wall along the Mexican border and deport illegal immigrants.

Only three of the 26 groups seeking to stage rallies either protesting or celebrating Trump's election independently of the Trump Presidential Inaugural Committee have received permits.

The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund on Thursday said it would sue the National Park Service, which manages spaces including the inaugural parade route and the grassy Ellipse near the White House, if the permits are not issued by Friday.

"Fifteen days before the inauguration, the National Park Service and the Trump Presidential Inaugural Committee are stonewalling and refusing to release permits that are vitally needed by organizers in order to plan and execute peaceful, lawful free-speech activities," Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, the fund's executive director, told a news conference.

The Park Service and the Inaugural Committee, a private group, had no immediate comment on the lawsuit threat.

The Park Service has maintained it is following a procedure in place since 2008 for presidential inaugurations by turning over control of sites along the parade route from the Capitol to the White House. The Inaugural Committee has said it needs all the space allotted, according to Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst. ...

Verheyden-Hilliard, a successful litigator for Washington protesters for more than a decade, said the permits sought cover spaces along the Pennsylvania Avenue parade route on January 20, and other spaces, including the Ellipse, the following day.

Broad coalition to protest on inauguration day in Minneapolis (http://fightbacknews.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a29530af96a02fc55d345e735&id=11306f0980&e=d323598fe4)
‘Resist From Day One’

By staff

Minneapolis, MN - A broad coalition of more than 40 organizations will join together in the streets of Minneapolis on inauguration day, Jan. 20, to resist the Trump administration’s agenda. There will also be massive protests at the inauguration in Washington D.C. and in cities around the country.

There will be many actions throughout the day, all of which are planning to converge at 5:00 p.m. for a mass rally at Minneapolis City Hall (350 S. 5th Street).

The Resist from Day One March starts at 2:00 p.m. at Lake Street and Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis. From there it will go to Franklin and Nicollet, where the protest will l be joined by the Black Snake Resistance March (#NODAPL) which gathers at 2:30 p.m. at Chicago and Franklin Avenues.

At 4:00 p.m. they will march from Franklin and Nicollet to Minneapolis City Hall for a mass rally at 5:00 p.m. at City Hall. Other groups will join in at City Hall including students who are planning walkouts. More Jan. 20 activities are in the planning stages.

According to a statement from protest organizers, “Trump’s campaign was built largely on intimidation and attacks against immigrants, Muslims, workers, women and the environment. His cabinet picks are billionaires, military generals and racists, who have an agenda against the interests of 99% of the population. We believe that the people have the power to stop the coming attacks if we unite in solidarity and resist from day one. We are coming together in the streets on Jan. 20, inauguration day, to support our communities and to say we are not intimidated, we will not give Trump a chance to implement the agenda he has promised to implement. We will resist from day one!”

The Resist from Day One Coalition MN brings together Twin Cities groups and individuals, uniting to defend communities against Trump's racist, anti-immigrant, anti-worker, anti-Muslim, anti-woman, anti-environment agenda.

Tucson coalition prepares to fight back against Trump (http://fightbacknews.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a29530af96a02fc55d345e735&id=4c90b30e6f&e=d323598fe4)

By staff

Tucson, AZ – In southern Arizona the city of Tucson is set to join the nationwide people’s mobilization in opposition to the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. Many have responded to the call to reject his agenda of hate, criminalization, deportation and the oppression of the multinational working class in the U.S.

Immigrant rights action group, Lucha Unida por Padres y Estudiantes (L.U.P.E.) will be part of the Occupy Inauguration March on Jan. 20. This broad coalition seeks to build an independent movement that represents the multinational working class. The popular mobilization supports the demands of the immigrant rights movement, Black Lives Matter, the rights of indigenous nations, healthcare as a human right, ending the war, and raising the minimum wage.

L.U.P.E will lead the march from the downtown Mercado San Agustin and to the mayor’s office to deliver a demand letter, telling the city of Tucson to declare itself a sanctuary city and take concrete measures to ensure the security of the undocumented immigrant community. The demands include a much-needed municipal identification card, which will greatly benefit the most vulnerable communities and blow against the racist SB1070 law.

This march is part of the Legalization for All Network national call for of action.

While the march is scheduled to begin at noon, after arriving at the mayor’s office, the speakers will talk about the sanctuary movement which has been led locally by the faith organizations since the 1980s. Also, Dreamers, L.U.P.E members and other community organizers will address the crowd before delivering the demand letter.

The march will travel through the main downtown streets. It will include the Tucson Water Protectors, who have been bravely organizing direct actions to bring attention to oppression of indigenous people who are opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Great video & poster; let’s share!


Refuse Fascism


Hi Chris

The fact is this: Trump-Pence are illegitimate… fascist… and more people are sounding the alarm. Big cheers to Meryl Streep (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=hzNGjZShFRHXzco&b=Or.DMfBfhgmtozkwNOmsAw) last night and to others, all over, using the platforms and openings that they have to tell the truth. She may not have said those precise words, but she gave a strong reminder as to the reality of some of what it would mean – how disastrous it would be, in so many dimensions – if these two actually DO put their hands on the levers of power.

That’s why we need millions in the streets BEFORE the inauguration, demonstrating in all kinds of different ways, refusing to go home, saying the simple but profound word “NO!”, and thereby creating a political crisis and a real chance to reverse this illegitimacy… this fascism. The people to do that are there; now is the time to reach them.

There’s a lot that people can do today to do that. There is now a place to be in DC to start things off this Saturday. This is great news, and brings out that this is really happening. Here is a great video of volunteers who are in DC now (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=hzNGjZShFRHXzco&b=GgFys9NkfWgfv1HKRZzavw) calling on people to come out at 4:00 pm Saturday January 14, and go here for the call itself in print form. This is where to be to act to prevent this horror from happening.

Let’s spread these on social media. And those who absolutely cannot get to DC can act in concert where they are (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=hzNGjZShFRHXzco&b=KhGmYBJsF5XHLOFpzRBYVA).

DuQb9xLmhMc

Wednesday January 11, in the midst of confirmation hearings for Jeff Sessions and others in Trump's legion of doom, Refuse Fascism will publish a full page NO! in the Washington Post newspaper.

Reach out to friends and associates to donate generously to pay for this message, and to support the efforts in DC and across the country to reach all the people who are looking for a way to stop this before it starts.

DONATE (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=hzNGjZShFRHXzco&b=4oRqWH9HTyJ2qP7dxALh3w)

Download NO! posters here (http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=8Lxt9&m=hzNGjZShFRHXzco&b=Y_S.4x5ubVRW6CPzXJzsiw) and duplicate them, getting the NO! out and up everywhere we can, beginning to saturate neighborhoods, city centers, universities and other institutions. Getting this everywhere is part of changing – and charging – the atmosphere, letting people know they can act BEFORE the catastrophe comes.

Saturday it begins: get in the streets… stay in the streets… prevent Trump-Pence from ruling.

For a better world,
The National Office Team

March for Abortion Rights - Counter Protest to March for Life IL
Sunday at 1 PM - 3 PM
219 S Dearborn St, Chicago, IL 60603, United States
Chicago Campaign to Expose Crisis Pregnancy Centers
https://www.facebook.com/events/655285021309121/

Join fellow pro-choice activists and Planned Parenthood supporters on Sunday, January 15 in downtown Chicago to counter-protest the "March for Life" walk. This is the year we must fight harder than ever to preserve our right to CHOOSE. Join us and help us spread the word.

We will meet across the street from Federal Plaza (where the March for Lies is being held) on January 15 at 1PM. The exact address of our meeting spot is 219 South Dearborn (outside of the Dirksen Federal Building). We will then march through the streets of downtown Chicago. We will chant, yell, carry signs and be VISIBLE. Our protest will end around 3PM.

Background: Each January, right wing anti-abortion activists bus hundreds of protestors to Chicago to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. We won't let them do so unopposed.

With rabidly anti-choice republicans about to take control of all three branches of the federal government, it is absolutely vital that we make our voices heard, loud, proud, and in public. Join us to fight for abortion rights and show that we will stand up for bodily autonomy.

This is an anti-racist, anti-sexist movement. All genders, races, and faiths are welcome. If you believe in the right to CHOOSE, JOIN US!!

Saturday: Day of action to protect immigrants and refugees

AFL-CIO

Chris,

I’m terrified right now. I came to this country as a political refugee to escape war in my home country of Ethiopia. I was a teenager and didn’t know what to expect.

I was welcomed with open arms by many in the Los Angeles community I landed in. I’m a proud American but, as a black immigrant, I’m really scared about what’s going to happen and many of my friends and neighbors are scared, too.

But, just because I’m scared, doesn’t mean I’m not going to fight—and I'm counting on you to do the same.

Tens of thousands of people will be showing up in solidarity with immigrants and refugees this Saturday, Jan. 14, for a day of action.

Find an event near you for Saturday’s day of action to protect immigrants and refugees. (http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/1gA/ni0YAA/t.23x/IaCBOJjZQ3WN_SCPF6f5lw/h0/4km2ocXqrT9tpoH8brR8ycrSvnbZD09HCHdK-2B2APm2THxpTQ1-2Ftt7fV0gBViTy-2FOyOyORsuyPRjvjRbSf7bnXapXfXqK1o159zLJejPUDWqBQZ-2BA1iS-2BfRHmCIj6AiMH9YSpyhfxGPHcjj3-2BszQjHKrzyahiKrxg4xcKPV1Hp8YNcCy-2FBWVj1kRBpu-2FpMXX6zqDZntR5cf38mFdOoMLLs1ugKkF510MEI26RnvE3al4 jde9-2FzgdSxwqjTLnIZnce-2BaKMn23QcaLKokotGOxB3LxVV5qBIL9T3XZ42aDVNYzkb00R0 n4yeLrD0JFu-2Fdu4FnsFFnf9FdcPLuALSBmGGpJnK0AEkPrAJ-2BdjhWqOn0UB-2FCx-2BtJKhbdC0-2F3PrC7ulAjzV4610dseBdrb5jU4yxg-3D-3D)

Many are concerned that raids, detentions and worse will occur immediately after the president-elect takes office. This is a time for togetherness and unity.

The specter of mass deportation is terrifying to men and women who live and who work here, who stand in line with us at the grocery store and whose children attend our schools. Extreme immigration proposals will tear at the very fabric of our society and our values, and we will not stand for it.

Instead of uprooting and deporting aspiring Americans—our co-workers and our neighbors—we really must embrace each other. Instead of building walls, we must be bound together in solidarity. These are the bedrock principles that the labor movement has always stood for. These are the bedrock principles we must continue to fight for.

In the weeks and months ahead, if the GOP does what it has promised, millions of working people will be afraid to go to work, to take their children to school, let alone speak up when they encounter abuse or exploitation. They will need information, support and active solidarity.

Let’s show them that we’ve got their backs. Sign up to attend an action near you this Saturday, Jan. 14, to protect immigrants and refugees.

#Reclaim MLK: Take Action Now!

Movement for Black Lives

Chris --

Two years ago, the Movement for Black Lives continued in the tradition of civil disobedience and direct action to reclaim the narrative of the Civil Rights Movement from corporate America, Hollywood, and others bent on sanitizing Black history rooted in radical tradition.

#ReclaimMLK is a call to connect our contemporary movements, and to eschew respectability in order to embrace the radical courage of our people in the present. Today, that original call is even more urgent.

On January 16, we’ll reclaim the legacy of MLK and the contributions of other civil rights warriors whose resistance to oppression pushed the country toward equality. But this year, we’ve expanded #ReclaimMLK to #Reclaim&Resist: From MLK to Inauguration, to include an entire week of actions from January 16-20. Join us. (https://movementforblacklives.nationbuilder.com/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.m4bl.net&e=93038e216e7fdb12052b05a44d3a3daf&utm_source=movementforblacklives&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=01122017mlk&n=2)

Over the course of the week, people across the country will take action with us to realize a safe, free and beautiful future for Black people—one based on inclusivity and justice, not hate and fear. To reclaim the legacy. To reclaim our story.

Visit M4BL.net to find and an action near you—or plan one of your own. Text FORWARD to 91990 for updates and join in on the conversation using #ReclaimMLK. Now is the time.

Onward,


Movement for Black Lives

Jan 20 plans. RESIST Trump

http://solidarityweb.com/uploads/jan13email.jpg

Dear supporters,

We have been busy mobilizing for thousands to join us at the mass resistance to Trump, #J20Resist (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAg0MGQNSBAwaCFcABVE) – j20resist.org.

So far we have

Initiated buses and carpools from over 15 cities to march at #J20Resist in DC, along with actions across the U.S.

Launched a call for global actions across the world against Trump on January 20th

We worked with local groups in DisruptJ20 to secure permits to rally and planned a march on the White House during Trump’s parade.

Plans are in place for legal observers, jail solidarity teams, if there are any arrests during J20, medical teams, mass housing at local churches and working with the press as best we can to get our revolutionary message out.


Our D.C. Plans are to rally at Union Station, at "Anti" Columbus Circle starting at 6 am and march at 10 am to the White House. We will have an ending rally McPhearson Square, a block from the White House.

Now more than ever, we urgently need your support to make this mobilization possible gofundme.com/protest-trumps-inauguration. A donation of $25 will get another person a seat from our buses from New York and Philadelphia. A $60 donation can help us to mobilize people from North Carolina and Detroit.

Please, if you cannot make it to DC, consider making a donation to this important movement. We need it now more than ever.

While the Democrats want divert the rage against Trump into a stronger, pro-war stance against Russia, the people of the U.S. must continue to fight independently of both parties for what we desperately need. We need jobs, health care, education, justice for migrants and people of color, an end to militarism and war and more. We don’t buy the fake news and the outright lies meant to distract us from our real task, creating a revolution to end the rule of the two parties of capitalism.

Let the Anti-Trump struggle blossom into a struggle against the entire system of capitalism, white supremacy, LGBTQ bigotry, oppression of women, attacks on migrants, police terror, union-busting, and more!

This massive mobilization in D.C. and all around the country is a step in building the unity we need to fight Trump and the whole capitalist system. J20Resist (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAg0KGQNSBAwaCFcABVE) is working in participation with the following groups, and many more:

BAYAN Philippine Coalition,
Committee to Stop FBI Repression,
DisruptJ20,
Freedom Road Socialist Organization,
International Action Center,
Michigan Emergency Coalition Against War & Injustice,
Moratorium Now,
Pakistan USA Freedom Forum,
Peoples Power Assembly,
Philly Real Justice,
Samidoun Palestine Prisoners Network,
Solidarity Center,
Solidarity Iran,
Students for a Democratic Society,
Team Solidarity,
United American Indians of New England,
United National Antiwar Coalition,
USW Local 8751 Boston School Bus Drivers Union,
Why Accountability,
Women's Fightback Network,
Workers World Party

Your support wil make this mobilization possible

Free Speech Victory at the Inauguration - Protest Permits Released


Partnership for Civil Justice Fund


Faced with imminent litigation, National Park Service is releasing permits for Ellipse and other Inaugural protest spaces

NPS releases the Ellipse next to White House on January 21st for permitted assembly, made available to the Women's March for closing activities

ANSWER Coalition issued January 20th Inauguration Day Permit to hold rally with stage and sound alongside Trump's Inaugural Parade route

We are pleased to tell you and all those who have been supporting the fight to defend free speech at the Inauguration that we have prevailed in this long, hard-fought battle to secure the Ellipse and other spaces in Washington, D.C. so that they are available for mass assembly gatherings and protest on January 20th and January 21st.

The National Park Service only relented in releasing permits for protest on public space after the PCJF made clear that we would be filing for a preliminary injunction to force the release of permits.

On Jan. 5, the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund notified the National Park Service that litigation was imminent and that permits, including for the Ellipse and other locations, had to be released immediately. We advised them that their withholding of space from the required permitting process, and their giving the Trump Presidential Inaugural Committee the discretion to hold these spaces and keep demonstrators from receiving permits, was in violation of the permanent injunction obtained by the PCJF and entered against the NPS in 2008 in federal court.

After being notified of imminent litigation, the NPS and the Trump PIC reversed course and the NPS issued a statement that they would release the Ellipse and other public spaces for permitted protests.

Permits are now being issued. The Ellipse is being made available to the Women's March, which will now have the opportunity to march into the Ellipse and hold its closing activities adjacent to the Trump White House on January 21st.

For Friday, January 20th, the ANSWER Coalition has been issued a permit for the Navy Memorial plaza space directly abutting the Inaugural Parade route and will set up a 28-foot-long stage and have a sound system. They will now be able to maintain a rally going throughout the day featuring nationally known leaders, grassroots activists and musicians. None of this could have happened without the issuance of a permit. Pacifica Network and other media will now be covering the rally and demonstration live from the Navy Memorial.

The release of these permits is a significant victory for free speech, and we continue to challenge the NPS's unconstitutional operation that is denying full and fair access to our public lands for protests at the Inauguration. It is shameful that the NPS stonewalled, and allowed the Trump PIC to stonewall, the ability of groups to obtain permits to exercise fundamental First Amendment rights until faced with legal action. The PCJF has been fighting for the issuance of these permits for months and we have been in court for more than 15 years challenging the efforts of the government to suppress dissent at the inauguration. Please help us continue this fight. (https://justiceonline.nationbuilder.com/donate?e=84aab3269399c192a83de08f64886f1e&utm_source=justiceonline&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ellipsepermit&n=5)

As the Trump era begins we are entering a period of extreme political turbulence. The agenda of the incoming Trump administration is to roll back or eviscerate fundamental civil, social, economic and political rights that the vast majority of the country holds dear. He plans to put this country's infrastructure, schools and environment up for sale to corporations, banks and hedge funds.

This is a time when grassroots political action, including the exercise of dissent and free speech, is of the gravest importance. The PCJF is committed to the efforts necessary to defend the right to stand up and speak out. Your support made this victory possible, and we hope we can count on you to do everything you can to strengthen this critical defense of the right to free speech. We can only do it together.

For the rights of women, and the future of our planet — will you stand with us?

LEARN MORE (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=-mkQNf3z_XJmCZi_BPSC3g)


Chris,

I'm humbled and excited to announce that NRDC has signed on as a sponsor of the upcoming Women's March on Washington taking place the day after Donald Trump is sworn in as president — and I will be speaking at the event.

By adding the full force of NRDC's members and activists to this historic march, we're joining a growing, unstoppable movement of people dedicated to defending our fundamental human rights and speaking out with one voice for all to hear: Women's rights depend on the health of our planet, and the future of our planet depends on women's rights.

I hope you'll stand with us (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=VO-ZUHGMJ08ABTeFRsolZg) on this momentous occasion:

WHAT: Women's March on Washington
WHERE: National Mall, Washington, D.C. (and locations in the U.S. and around the world — full list here (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=8BTSIG_eR3uHx0J08gKU2g)!)
WHEN: Saturday, January 21

Whether or not you can join us on the Mall in Washington, D.C., or at a sister march in a city near you, we're asking the entire NRDC community to sign our Women's March Solidarity Action (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=6N2fJr9PfXPirahaaUfF-Q), saying you stand firmly with women — on January 21 and every day — in defense of women's rights and our environment, acknowledging that the two are inextricably and powerfully linked.

Please add your name to our Solidarity Action now — and learn more about how you can get involved in this landmark event or sign up to march with NRDC in Washington on January 21. (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=t3Mkj0jyItEgnafjvxC5GA)

It was women in Flint, Michigan, who forced the nation to pay attention to the lead-contaminated water crisis making their children sick and their community suffer.

It was the women of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe who began the game-changing fight against the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota.

It's women and children who bear the brunt of the effects of climate change and pollution — from the Zika virus and heat-related illness to violent weather events and more asthma attacks.

And it's women who are twice as likely to accept climate change science as men, and to advance environmental protections when they're in government positions.

For me, the Women's March is a critical call to action that resonates deeply — both through my life's work as an environmental advocate and as the mother of a young daughter. I know that it's up to women to stand up for clean air and water, climate justice and the future of our planet.

We're on the frontlines of the environmental fight, and we'll be on the frontlines of the Women's March. Please, stand with us! (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=q6qKm_SGDwMtxgAPwMDe6g)

Thank you for your support. We'll be following up with more details closer to January 21.

Sincerely,

Rhea

Jan 19-21: Bringing Love & Peace


http://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/codepink/mailings/1380/attachments/original/sessions_share.png?1484240590


Dear Chris,

We were appalled when President-elect Donald Trump nominated Jeff Sessions, a blatant racist, to be our next US Attorney General. Sessions opposes criminal justice reform, supports voter repression, and even voted against the Violence Against Women Act! As his confirmation hearing began, we were there in beautiful color, holding signs of End Islamophobia, Stop Sessions, Support LGBTQ Rights, Immigrants Welcome, and End Racism.

We will be continuing to bring this same message as we disrupt business as usual, disrupting the Inaugural, inside and out. Sign up to join us January 19-21 (http://www.codepink.org/inauguration?e=247b6f0c69174ee7dfa25e341c4eedfe&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=inaugur_j12_1&n=3) to Rise, Love, and Resist Trump’s incoming administration of intolerance, Islamophobia, racism, militarism, misogyny, and more.

On inauguration day, we will begin at 7 am at Union Station and will start off with the One Billion Rising (http://www.codepink.org/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.onebillionrising.org%2F&e=247b6f0c69174ee7dfa25e341c4eedfe&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=inaugur_j12_1&n=4) flash mob dance. We will rise, love, resist, and dance to break the chains of rape culture, hatred, patriarchy, militarism, and violence. We will do all we can to disrupt the Inauguration; to say we will not stand with all forms of hate, racism, Islamaphobia and misogyny but will be accomplices with the most vulnerable among us have been threatened by the new Administration. Outside the inaugural balls and during the Women’s March on Washington, we will wear pussy hats, carry hearts, and create vibrant beauty to show our power to create the world we want to live in.

Housing the resistance


Hi Chris,

Today, Saturday, January 14, 2017, the resistance continues at a higher level. In DC, we are taking to the streets, starting at McPherson Square at 4 pm, marching to the halls of power, every day and every night until we succeed!

Car caravans are starting to arrive in DC from as far away as California, and people are taking buses from along the Eastern seaboard. Housing is needed NOW and more will be needed every day.

Are you coming to DC to STOP the Trump-Pence regime before they can start? Contact anyone you might know in the area about staying with them, ask friends and relatives if they know people they can contact, and if you don’t find accommodations, let us know (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nr5kKu%2FZz6TWLMta%2Bnp%2FEZsQ%2Bl%2BWl6Ae) and we’ll work on housing for you and your crew.

Do you live in the greater DC area? Can you provide housing for volunteers coming from around the country? Let us know here (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=H1kWZuzzNrV4ivIju0BwIvoDoLOFw7uU).

Like everything we do, this too will depend on YOU! And please donate generously (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=btJwHvMjQrcQNwvJJgTo6psQ%2Bl%2BWl6Ae) for materials – flyers, posters, buttons – for these volunteers to blanket DC, for food and transportation costs for those with heart and commitment but no personal resources.

REQUEST / OFFER HOUSING IN DC (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=m4Qlbkz1inGhDiD5UqT5pZsQ%2Bl%2BWl6Ae)

CITY CLEARS BOX CITY, OFFERS ONLY 30 DAY SHELTER

San Francisco – In pouring down rain, city officials started clearing “box city” at 7 am this morning. The encampment made up of men and women, including a tight knit group of Tagalog speaking Filipinos rushed this morning to move their belongings through deep puddles and across the street.

Meanwhile, city workers threw belongings into dumpsters, and crushed previously occupied boxes.

The US Interagency Council on Homelessness released best practice guidelines for municipalities recommending that individuals in encampments should have access to housing before they are removed from said areas, and if no such housing exists, to provide temporary shelter that leads to housing. San Francisco is violating those guidelines, as they are only offering temporary housing to camp residents. San Francisco also has the highest number of anti-homeless laws in the state.

“As we are approaching our day to honor Martin Luther King, the poor treatment of box city residents is an example of the fight Dr. King was leading for housing and economic justice for the poor. Here we are 50 years later and we still have unfinished business.” According to Bilal Ali, Human Rights Organizer. “The city must invest deeply in creating true solutions, such as housing for destitute San Franciscans”

Camp residents can relocate to the Navigation Center and then likely return to the streets after 30 days, or they can move their man made shelters a block or two away. Some of the boxes were relocated to Pier 50.

According to one camp resident who preferred to stay anonymous “30 days in the navigation center just isnʼt enough time for me to get help. I canʼt even get my belongings over there”.

Oakland , CA

Come out on January 19th, rsvp click here ([email protected]) to saint Mary's Center's MLK Jr. gathering. Elders will be sharing their perspective on mlk's legcacy and the current movement work to fight the criminalization of poor and homeless people's existence.

City-sanctioned encampment was swept

Oakland's new "Compassionate Communities" city-sanctioned encampment was swept today at 11 AM. The purpose of setting up these city-sanctioned encampments is in direct response to sweeps, raids, displacement and seizure of property of homeless people all across the country. However, today the city of Oakland brought orders to "clean" the encampment and decrease the size by about a 1/2. This looked like the department of public works employees stealing homeless people's belongings such as tarps, tents, clothes and blankets. People were asked to cross the street while the sweep was happening and take their belongings with them, although many residents of the encampment were not present when the sweep began and had their property stolen or destroyed.

The Oakland Police Department were present as well. About 10-15 advocates and organizers were present to document and interrupt the sweeps. The city employees who work for the "Compassionate Communities" project did not see any issues with their coordinated robbery of the encampment but would not say who the call for the sweep came from. In times of intense weather patterns, like the storm currently brewing in the Bay Area, we know that seizure of property like tents, blankets and tarps can be deadly. Organizers are gearing up to respond to this sweep and plan for the next time the sweep comes before the termination of the project in March.

Sacramento, CA

Things are really heating up in Sacramento next week. On Monday, January 16th there is a large Reclaim MLK march where organizers will take to the streets in honor of MLK's legacy of fighting the violence of white supremacy and capitalism and the current manifestation of these oppressive systems. Then on January 20th, there will be a day of action in opposition to the Trump presidency. We know that Sacramento is situated differently then other cities in California as the capitol of the state. Join us in rising up and demanding a future where we can all thrive.

The Oregon #Right2Rest Act was introduced this week! We have a bill number and organizers are gearing up to fight the criminalization of our communities and win some real relief for our loved ones on the streets.

Stay tuned for ways to support the legislative work this season. We know that everyone deserves the right to rest - it's about time the Oregon legislature knows it too. Under the new rise of fascism and the Trump regime, we know that time is even more pressing to abolish laws criminalizing our existence and grow our strength to fight back against the new violent laws that are soon to come down the line.

Colorado Right to Rest Kick off

Colorado's #Right2Rest Kick off was a huge success!! Organizers planned for around 25 participants and were blown away by over 75 people coming to learn about the #Right2Rest Act, to hear about the Homeless Bill of Rights Campaign that the bill is grounded in and sign up for ways to support the legislation this year.

Today to STOP Trump/Pence


Hello,

What you can do today to PREVENT Trump-Pence From Ruling…

4:00 pm this afternoon the people around refusefascism.org in Washington, DC are going into the streets, calling people out to encircle the new Trump Hotel tonight and make clear to all that “we refuse to accept a fascist America,” that we are determined to prevent Trump-Pence from ruling, and that if enough people pour into the streets with us, right now, expressing their humanity and anger and determination, this can both drive forward and combine with significant conflicts at the “top” of society to actually STOP these fascists.

WE MUST DO EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY CAN TO STOP THIS BEFORE IT STARTS – IT WILL BECOME IMMEASURABLY HARDER TO RESIST AND DEFEAT FASCISM ONCE IT HAS SECURED THE REINS OF POWER.

What can you do?

1) If you are in DC or Baltimore or Virginia or anywhere even two hours away, you can find your way down there to be part of this, to strengthen this. At this stage, every single person counts. We speak for and embody the sentiments of millions and even hundreds of millions or more (speaking globally), but right now those who have stepped out need to grow and become a magnetic force. A few people boldly stepping out at the beginning has, throughout history, set off the most historic and far-reaching changes. Be part of this NOW; make this idea a magnetic force. Facebook Event (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3Ggo6OJXq%2F8T4K3KZQF6nokGVaAR%2BW5X)

Video from last night's hours long march in DC (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nORvhJZwxvbZoJdx8lGe%2BokGVaAR%2BW5X)
much more on refusefascism.org & @refusefascism (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2FMB4wmzpbkPO7LL%2Fo%2BcoOQAG%2BB9VltDp) on Twitter

2) Donate $ (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=m4Qlbkz1inGjeLXF5RjBf4kGVaAR%2BW5X). There ARE people in DC and we need money to not only house them and feed them, but to amplify their message through a real ad campaign. They are committed. They are not backing down. They are not quitting. And they need you to make it possible for their voices to be heard. Share the crowd-funding campaign. (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ez6yWH9frcStFnJxPPyTRIkGVaAR%2BW5X)

3) If you are not anywhere close to DC and cannot get there, take the word of this onto social media now. Spread the memes and the videos and all the rest, let people know about it, make it go.

If you're on FaceBook, manually invite all your friends (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=jo7M5523XnDXpRQlMGozZ4kGVaAR%2BW5X)... ask them to share with people in and around DC... and with everyone they know, asking them to share with people in and around DC.

If you’re on Twitter, follow and retweet (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=CkKIr06HNrc2XqOOfpMPuIkGVaAR%2BW5X). #NoFascistUSA #FloodDC

The time is now. Do all you can – in the name of humanity, REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

WE MUST DO EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY CAN TO STOP THIS BEFORE IT STARTS – IT WILL BECOME IMMEASURABLY HARDER TO RESIST AND DEFEAT FASCISM ONCE IT HAS SECURED THE REINS OF POWER.

What can you do?

If you are in DC or Baltimore or Virginia or anywhere even two hours away, you can find your way down there to be part of this, to strengthen this. At this stage, every single person counts. We speak for and embody the sentiments of millions and even hundreds of millions or more (speaking globally), but right now those who have stepped out need to grow and become a magnetic force. A few people boldly stepping out at the beginning has, throughout history, set off the most historic and far-reaching changes. Be part of this NOW; make this idea a magnetic force. Call 213-804-1811 or email [email protected] now to get connected.

Donate $ (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=l0f8HyweBSI84DXoYJM8dPZEDfZY51zZ). There ARE people in DC and we need money to not only house them and feed them, but to amplify their message through a real ad campaign. They are committed. They are not backing down. They are not quitting. And they need you to make it possible for their voices to be heard.

Donate Now (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Tuwd%2FXkKzxF8jPHyS98jtPZEDfZY51zZ)

If you are not anywhere close to DC and cannot get there, take the word of this onto social media now. Spread the memes and the videos and all the rest (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=76NK9mfSF2lOtl0m8zhAzPZEDfZY51zZ), let people know about it, make it go.

If you’re on FaceBook, go through and manually invite all your friends… ask them to share with people in and around DC… and with everyone they know, asking them to share with people in and around DC.

A message from Emma, in the streets of DC

Chris,

Please read and consider this important message from Emma Kaplan, member of the World Can't Wait Steering Committee:

My name is Emma and I am one of the many volunteers who came to Washington DC to STOP Trump and Pence from coming to power. Not waiting until Friday or Saturday but to stop him from being inaugurated as President of the United States.

We have been out in the streets every day and every night here in DC, growing to hundreds and tonight we must grow to thousands & soon to millions to bring DC to a halt.

Last night we shut down the Trump International Hotel. New people have been joining us off the sidelines, running in the streets hugging us, tears filling their eyes and joy filling their hearts. A significant number of people are beginning to feel hope for something that seemed so impossible days ago, now feeling like we have a real chance. But we have to grow massively and the next couple of days are decisive.

This is why I am sending this message to you, to everyone reading.

Let me tell you why I am here and am throwing EVERYTHING I can into stopping this before it starts:

I am one of millions who is sick to their stomach of the thought of Donald Trump becoming president. The idea of him being president and getting the reins of power is horrifying. He talks about faith registries, has started a nuclear arms race. He talks about pussy grabbing, punishing women for excercising control over their own bodies. He talks about stripping away citizenship for those who express what are supposed to be constitutional rights. He demonizes and degrades black and brown people and used a violent movement to come to power. He will escalate what is already an environmental catastrophe.

Let me tell you why all this shakes me to my core. My great grandparents and my grandmother's baby brother were murdered in Auschvitz in Nazi Germany. I am one of the many people here in DC with this history, the stories and the memories of people gassed in concentration camps, of the numbers on people's arms.

We all have wondered how could people stand by and let this happen. We shame the German people for not acting to stop it.

Yet now, we are all facing an American Hitler. This is not hyperbole or an exaggeration. There are many different types of definitions of fascism and Donald Trump fits every single one of them. Today the stakes could be even higher, with Trump having the power of nuclear weapons and a military that Hitler couldn't even dream of.

We all have to confront this soberly and act accordingly. There are tens of millions of us who are sick about what Trump represents and if they flood DC before the inauguration, we have a chance.

Don't talk to me about "the odds" of doing this if you are not out in the streets doing everything you can to STOP Trump/Pence from coming to power. Get in a car, get in a train, get on a bus and get your ass to DC in the next 24 hours. Call in sick, tell your work that you have a family emergency. Because this IS an emergency for families everywhere. The families who will be ripped apart from deportations and an escalation of mass incarceration and police murder.

Don't wish me good luck or tell me "keep it up," if you absolutely can't come because you are bed-ridden, or have 6 children, be in the streets when you can. Make a donation to support people who are able to be here. Follow the action on Facebook (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Rdo3K9Qz3yct9cgea%2FhAdmSD8c%2FnAeYY), Twitter (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PifDC6Fne341y4fm7KH2%2FmSD8c%2FnAeYY) and Instagram (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2FiizTirZugNPuMLlQhPATGSD8c%2FnAeYY) and share with others.

The other night Carl Dix, a man who I deeply respect said, "Don't be a 21st century Good German, be a Harriet Tubman."

We all have a choice, who will you be?

"I" is for Illegitimate


Hi Chris,

While we spread the "NO!" everywhere, Carl Dix & Cornel propose:

On Wednesday, January 18, wear the letter “I” for “Illegitimate” all day long …
Wear the “I” Because We Refuse To Accept An Illegitimate, Fascist, Trump-Pence Regime. That’s step 1.
Step 2: Make a video and post it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
Be creative. Let the world know that Trump and Pence are illegitimate. Here are images to print

http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1170/images/4x4-i-sticker-BWNoFascistUSA-240.png (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=V3ukgfe5VLiUGCLAoZLd8jriepgTd5v2) http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1170/images/2017-1-17-NOsticker.png (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=zKDQz%2F6YIF4k0UepUXshnTriepgTd5v2)

A message from RefuseFascism.org initiators Carl Dix & Cornel West to take up the "I" Challenge:

Wednesday January 18 2017
Wear the “I” for Illegitimate

Donald Trump and his fascist regime are illegitimate. Representative John Lewis has made the question of Trump’s illegitimacy a mass question. Then, Trump’s vile and impetuous Twitter response attacking Lewis revealed the depth of his venomous racism. The rawness of this has opened up the potential for many people to take a stand – making it known that they too regard Trump as illegitimate.

Therefore, as part of and contributing to the movement to Stop the Trump-Pence Regime from being able to rule, we propose: On Wednesday January 18, wear the letter “I” for “Illegitimate” all day long.

WHY?

Because Donald Trump has said that he is going to put people in jail and deprive them of their citizenship for expressing political dissent.

Because it is illegitimate to suppress the media.

Because it is illegitimate to deprive entire sections of people of basic fundamental rights simply due to their membership in a particular group of people, starting with Muslims & immigrants.

Because it is illegitimate to threaten an entire group, or entire groups, of people with suspension of the right against illegal search and seizure without probable cause, with the only probable cause being that they are Black or Latino.

Because it is illegitimate to torture people, and to punish the families of people who are suspected of crimes.

Because it is illegitimate to say that merely because a judge comes from a minority nationality they should be disqualified for rendering legal judgment on Trump.

Because it is illegitimate to say that the 5 Black youth – the Central Park 5 – who Trump baselessly accused of a crime, even calling for their execution in full page ads in NYC. Then, 12 years later when they were fully exonerated, Trump said that they should be kept in jail anyway.

Because it is illegitimate, in sum, to institute a form of government that deprives people of their most fundamental rights. Everything here is what Trump has either promised to do or stated should be done.

Signed,
Carl Dix
Cornel West

Stand shoulder to shoulder with us on January 21st.


Join the fight for salud, dignidad, and justicia with NLIRH.


Dear Chris,

The National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health (NLIRH) (https://nlirh.secure.force.com/track/apex/sbm__sbx_emaillinktracking?id=a0Q3100000FqUkV&cmid=00v3100001BBwggAAD) is proud to be a national partner of the Women’s March on Washington this weekend, and in over 200 other cities around the world. Many Latinxs* will join in the chorus of thousands of voices, taking to the streets on the first day of this new presidential administration and vowing to continue to speak out.

For over 20 years, NLIRH has organized and mobilized people across the country to support health, dignity, and justice for Latinxs, our families, and our communities.

Will you join us and be ready to defend against any and all attacks on our communities? Stand shoulder to shoulder with us in our continued struggle to advance justice and equity for all people? Together we will boldly assert that we won’t rest until all people are treated with dignity and respect, have access to quality, affordable healthcare -- regardless of where they live, how much money they have in their pocket, or their immigration status. Together we will remind politicians that when they block or limit access to critical reproductive healthcare services, they are making it fundamentally impossible for women to take care of themselves and their families.

I cannot emphasize enough that our work did not start or end with this election and, with your support, we can continue to be strong and fight for justice for all. In this march, with big hearts and a strong vision, we publicly and resoundingly recommit to advancing the causes and values of health, dignity, and justice.

You can find all of the information for attending the Women’s March on Washington, including registration, busing and lodging, here (https://nlirh.secure.force.com/track/apex/sbm__sbx_emaillinktracking?id=a0Q3100000FqUjw&cmid=00v3100001BBwggAAD).

For more information on how you can register for any one of the multiple sister marches taking place across the country, as well as busing and lodging information, please click here (https://nlirh.secure.force.com/track/apex/sbm__sbx_emaillinktracking?id=a0Q3100000FqUk1&cmid=00v3100001BBwggAAD).

Now more than ever, it is critical that you join us as we fight against harmful policies at both the state and federal level, by advancing a vision of our nation where reproductive justice- in all of its dimensions- is a reality for everyone.

Thanks for all your continued support!

Reminder & Logistics for J20 SF Labor Rally (4:30 pm, in front of Carl's Jr.)


PLEASE EXCUSE DUPLICATE POSTINGS

To: S.F. union members and labor supporters:
Re: J20 Labor Rally to Stop the Trump Administration's Anti-Labor agenda!

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

We are only a few days away from the Trump inauguration and from our 4:30 pm Labor Rally in front of Carl's Jr (NW corner of 7th & Market Sts., Civic Center BART). And we will be there with our union banners, union colors, and union signs, RAIN OR SHINE!

Yes, the weather forecast calls for light rain, so be prepared. Also, make sure to wrap any paper or cardboard signs in plastic.

We have organized a short, half-hour rally program. We want to start on time and finish by 5 pm -- when the main anti-Trump rally and march begins -- so we are asking folks to get there early (4:15 pm would be ideal).

We urge all union officers to make copies of the attached pdf for your members -- and/or post the leaflet to your website/social media and/or forward the pdf to your members and supporters. If you are not able make copies, send us a note care of Alan Benjamin ([email protected]) and we will drop off leaflets.

We also urge union members and labor supporters to get the word out about this Labor Rally to your co-workers, friends and family. We would like to see as big a labor-community turnout as possible.

Also, keep in mind that we will be marching as a labor contingent from UN Plaza, so please bring your comfortable walking shoes -- yes, the ones that are certain to get a lot of wear in the coming weeks and months, as we take to the streets time and again to turn back the Trump anti-labor offensive.

We will be looking for labor volunteer monitors for our labor contingent during the march. Please contact us if you are able to help.

BART and MUNI are your best means of transportation to get there, but if you are coming from out of town and need to drive, we are sending below some parking garage options near Civic Center.

Thank you and see you Friday at the Labor Rally!

In solidarity,

Alan Benjamin, Gordon Mar and Art Persyko,
On behalf of the J20
Labor Rally Organizing Committee

RE: Skip the inauguration of hate (sign the petition)


Dear Chris,

More than 126,000 people have joined you in signing our petition urging Democrats to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Trump’s appalling response to civil rights legend and progressive champion Rep. John Lewis’ decision last week to stay away from his inauguration has been a game changer. As of now, at least 60 congressional Democrats have announced that they are skipping the inauguration, but too many Democrats in Congress, including every Senate Democrat, are still remaining silent.

Democrats who attend the inauguration will help normalize Trump’s racism, misogyny and hate. We must keep the pressure on to make sure Democrats do the right thing.

Can you share this action with your friends and family via email, Facebook or Twitter? Or just forward the email below (http://act.credoaction.com/go/13081?t=1&akid=21307.247355.DGpoL7)

Thank you for everything you do,
- Nicole

Dear Chris,

https://d2omw6a1nm6pnh.cloudfront.net/images/tell-democrats-skip-the-inauguration-chairs-180.jpg

Rep. John Lewis’ decision to stay away from Trump’s inauguration is a game changer. Right now, at least 60 Congressional Democrats have announced that they are skipping the inauguration. We must keep the pressure on.

On Friday, Rep. Lewis announced that he would skip the inauguration. He also called Trump’s presidency illegitimate given CIA, FBI and NSA reports of Russian cyber attacks that tipped the electoral scales for Trump.1

Trump’s retaliation on Twitter was beyond appalling, even for Trump. He called Rep. Lewis “all talk, talk, talk - no actions.”2 Rep. Lewis survived a brutal police beating in Selma, Alabama in 1965 while fighting for racial justice and voting rights and has been a consistent advocate for racial justice in his years as a member of Congress. The backlash against Trump has been immediate, with 60 Democrats, including Congressional Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Keith Ellison, joining fellow progressive champions like Reps. Luis Gutierrez, Barbara Lee, and Raul Grijalva to stand with Rep. Lewis and skip the inauguration.

As Trump himself helped make clear, Democrats have a choice: They can stand with civil rights hero Rep. Lewis and stay away from the inauguration or attend the inauguration and help legitimize Trump’s racism, misogyny and hate.

Too many Democrats in Congress, including every Senate Democrat, are still remaining silent. This is not the time for compromise or decorum. We need to do everything we can to make sure Democrats do the right thing.

Tell Democrats in Congress: Skip the inauguration of hate. (https://act.credoaction.com/sign/dems_inauguration?t=6&akid=21307.247355.DGpoL7)

Politicians who attend the inauguration will be legitimizing and normalizing Trump’s presidency and his hateful agenda. In fact, Trump’s tweets gave right-wing lawmakers license to berate Rep. Lewis with racist statements scolding him for speaking out.

Mike Pence said that Donald Trump, a racist bigot, would do more for Black people than Rep. Lewis ever did.3 A Georgia official called Rep. Lewis a racist pig on Facebook.4 Maine Gov. Paul LePage, said that Rep. Luis should be grateful for everything Republican presidents have done for Black people, including the emancipation of slaves, essentially whitewashing and rewriting the history of the racial justice and civil rights movement in America.5

Trump’s attack on Rep. Lewis, a civil rights hero who is entering his 30th year as a U.S. Representative, has helped draw an even brighter line between Congressional Democrats who will fight against Trump’s hateful regime and those who won’t.

Speak out now to tell all Democrats in Congress that you’re counting on them to stand with Rep. Lewis and refuse to attend the inauguration.

Tell Democrats in Congress: Skip the inauguration of hate. (https://act.credoaction.com/sign/dems_inauguration?t=7&akid=21307.247355.DGpoL7)

Thank you for speaking out,

You know what the right-wing sector, the libertarians and other anti-socialism sectors of USA are saying? That the J-20 is a conspiracy by the the ultra-right wing neoliberalism pro-free trade, pro-NAFTA hawks of the US governmnet to kill Donald Trump, because according to them Donald Trump is trying to install a nationalist anti-neoliberal political system in USA, and the corporate oligarchic plutocracy of USA is pro-neoliberalism, pro-free trade, pro-wars



J20 Washington DC - Shut Down Trump's Inauguration


J20RESIST.ORG (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQ0PGQtaBEhXD1QBAw) DONATE (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQ0AGQtaBEhXD1QBAw) FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQ0BGQtaBEhXD1QBAw)

http://www.workers.org/j20/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/cropped-j20resist-webpage-header.jpg

WE REFUSE! NO PASÁRAN! SHUT DOWN TRUMP’S INAUGURATION

J20resist.org (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQwIGQtaBEhXD1QBAw) is a resource to assist this historic moment. It is a way for peopleall over the country to coordinate to push back against Trump and those who enabled his rise to power.

At J20resist.org (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAQwIGQtaBEhXD1QBAw) groups and individuals can connect up, coordinate travel to DC, connect with local actions – student walk-outs, stay aways, shut downs and rallies in the U.S. and around the world.

On January 20th, hundreds of thousands of people will be storming the streets across the US against Trump’s accelerated assault on migrants, LGBTQ people, women, unions, people of color, and the entire working class.

Now more than ever, we need massive resistance in the streets to shut down Trump’s agenda of racism, sexism, migrant-bashing, cutbacks and war. With capitalism in decline, this agenda can be a recipe for fascism.

While both the Democrats and the Republicans are telling us now to accept the results of the election and look to “work with” President Trump, we completely refuse to accept this racist billionaire as the leader of this country. Trump has no solutions for the real issues faced by billions of workers across the world.

Capitalism, imperialism and the racist cops occupying our communities are the real problem. We, the millions of people ready to take direct action against the attacks of a Trump administration, are the solution.

Only mass action can push back this racist, sexist agenda. We are entering a new era of historic resistance, led by the struggles of Black Lives Matter and the water protectors at Standing Rock. We stand ready to put our bodies in front of deportation busses, bulldozers, tanks and other war machines. The working class and oppressed must join together in this historic moment with the full understanding that real power is in the streets, not in the White House and not the Pentagon.

Let’s show on January 20th that another world is possible. There is an alternative to racist terror, sexist oppression, homophobia, transphobia, migrant-bashing and bigotry. There is an alternative to capitalism and fascism.

On January 20th, let’s shut down DC with a historic mobilization of the people, united against Trump’s assault on the people.

Let’s fight for the revolution we really need. Now is our time to be in the streets.

We say NO to Trump, NO to Clinton, NO to capitalism, NO to war and NO to the two-party system that supports all of the above.

On Friday, January 20th, we will make sure our collective voice is heard throughout the halls of power and across the world.

Join us!

I think the national security establishment is going to bring as much pressure onto the Trump presidency as possible, regardless. Yes Trump is relatively more of an isolationist than the Clinton faction, but there's already plans to increase military spending and tax breaks for the rich under Trump. (The Democrats are already so far to the right that the social spending plans of *either* party are going to be anti-humane anyway -- hence the past popularity around Sanders, the populist.)

From Initiators of RefuseFascism.org


Hi Chris,

January 18, 2017

To all the fighters, artists, scientists, teachers, students… to everyone who has signed the Call to Action (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=YM0cVTuhF4YqztPQckQoVeBy0RdNtVyN) and taken up the fight to Stop the Trump/Pence Regime from taking power:

First, much appreciation to the over 6,000 who have signed The Call; to all who have donated; to all who have spread the word on social media; to the musicians and artists against fascism; to all who have taken to the streets in cities across the country, including those camping out in front of City Hall in Los Angeles; and most of all, to those who are braving the cold and rain in Washington, DC to fight night after night to rouse millions of people to say NO! to a Fascist America.

Here we cannot list all of what you and we have done. Know this: RefuseFascism.org (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=9acK6b16U4dLWfw0i2a7duBy0RdNtVyN) has already put the truth before millions of people – the truth that many would not speak: that the Trump/Pence regime is fascist by any definition, that you can’t wait fascism out, you can’t conciliate with fascists, and you can’t work with or collaborate with fascism. We have rightly said that if we do not prevent the Trump/Pence regime from consolidating its hold on power, we will all be standing on different dangerous ground with a qualitatively more difficult fight to overcome what this regime is intent on doing.

We stand on the cusp of a historic moment – when what we do is impacting millions of people, and still has the potential to move them to take unprecedented action. Yet, developments in the struggle have not turned out as was needed. It now seems much more likely than not that masses of people in their millions are not going to flood into the streets in the day and half before the inauguration to create the kind of political crisis that could prevent the inauguration. At the end of this letter, we are making an important adjustment to our plans that essentially call for adjusting and intensifying our work over the next several days.

To understand this juncture, and what to do, we need to step back and confront again the situation humanity faces.

We wrote in the Call to Action (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2FpRm5n5TjF6JlxkqlRGPJ%2BBy0RdNtVyN): “Fascism is a strong word. It is a very serious thing. It has direction and momentum that must be stopped before it becomes too late. Fascism foments and relies on xenophobic nationalism, racism, misogyny, and the aggressive re-institution of oppressive ‘traditional values.’ Fascism feeds on and encourages the threat and use of violence to build a movement and come to power. Fascism, once in power, essentially eliminates traditional democratic rights.” Is this not what we have seen emerging every day since the election?

In the face of this, we have spoken truthfully that the people’s only recourse was and remains mass action of millions of people acting together outside the normal political processes to force every faction of the political power structure to respond to our actions and our demand.

Today, two days out from the scheduled inauguration of Donald Trump and his government of reactionary fascists, the situation is perilous and in tremendous flux. Representative John Lewis has made Trump’s illegitimacy a mass question. Trump’s venomous racist twitter response to Lewis has opened up the potential for many people to take a more resolute stand against the regime. We are calling for people to wear an “I” along with the “NO!” starting on Wednesday 1/18 and continuing (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=2kEjFovflqGY83KEyePjEOBy0RdNtVyN).

Currently over 60 Congress people are boycotting the inauguration revealing the even larger cracks in the power structure, even as, for now, the center is holding. There is scandal and dissension roiling among those who wield power. And yet, Trump/Pence looms.

In the midst of this fraught situation Refuse Fascism is in the mix – disrupting the Jeff Session’s Hearing in an action seen around the world, marching in the streets of DC with hundreds joining the marches on the Trump International Hotel over the weekend and shutting it down for a period of time, with pictures and video spreading on the web, and on local news in DC. Everywhere the volunteers have gone, the response has been positive from many sections of the people. There is a simmering depth to the anxiety and outrage that people feel about what is looming. But, the masses of people in their thousands and millions have not yet stepped out of business as usual to get in the streets and stay in the streets the way people in South Korea or Tahrir Square in Egypt did several years ago.

The reasons for this are many and we are not going to attempt an analysis here… certainly President Obama, VP Biden, and Bernie Sanders all telling people that “it’s over,” that Trump won and that people should work with him where “we can” and wait and see what he does has lulled people into not seeing the urgency of acting before these fascists have their hands on the repressive apparatus of the government, have the full power of the state to intimidate and suppress the dissent and the truth.

But, the important and urgent point is this: the situation is very much “in play.” We are in an extreme situation and dissension in all strata of society is sharp. There are all kinds of protests by many different forces that are going to unfold over the next several days. Refuse Fascism is going to keep pushing with our basic message and our actions in DC and around the country. The NO! needs to spread like never before. There are many factors that could come into play to push things over the edge where people feel that enough is enough, that they must act, they must disrupt their lives to prevent a great catastrophe. This could be a new damning revelation about Trump, a tweet from Trump that is the last straw, an act of repression or violence from his fascist followers… any of these or other factors could kick things onto a whole other level of struggle on all levels of society. This is a historical moment when what seems impossible on the surface could be possible, but only if there are people with the vision and determination to lead.

Even if this doesn’t happen before the inauguration, the struggle around and in the wake of the inauguration could become more intense. There are many groups and sections of the people planning significant protests and cultural outpourings and events from NY to California over the next 2 days. Here in DC, a group called “Disrupt J20” plans to act on inauguration day. The next day hundreds of thousands are expected for “The Women’s March On Washington.” Depending on how all of this plays out and interacts and interpenetrates with other developments, including the things that Trump will do on “day one,” the situation continues to hold the potential to develop into a more sustained resistance. In sum, there are many different factors that could still come together to give rise to the kind of political crisis that is needed to prevent the Trump-Pence Regime from gaining power, or to prevent it from consolidating its hold on power, and then to drive it from power in the days immediately after the inauguration.

It is our assessment that we need to go all out and intensify all our efforts over the next days before the inauguration to inspire and move masses of people into active resistance to stop this regime, even as we recognize that the battle may continue for several days after the inauguration if not prevented to stop the Trump-Pence regime from consolidating its power. We are proposing and calling for a change in our plans – to continue to call people to get into and stay the streets on Friday and beyond, calling for resistance and no business as usual next Monday and Tuesday.

The following from Refuse Fascism’s Mission and Plan (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=LU3OYXMldkUlfA8i47qUsuBy0RdNtVyN) is as true and urgent as when put forth 6 weeks ago:

"Imagine if people, in the tens of millions, filled the streets, powerfully declaring that this regime is illegitimate and demanding that it not be allowed to rule! The whole political landscape would be dramatically transformed, every faction within the established power structure would be forced to respond—and all this could well lead to a situation in which this fascist regime is actually prevented from ruling. This is not some idle dream but something which could be made a reality if all those who hate what is represented by this fascist regime translate their outrage into firm determination and massive mobilization to create the conditions which make this possible."

Let’s rise to this moment and fight with all we’ve got. We have brought forth an incredible, diverse and determined group of people who recognize the danger, who have sounded the alarm, and are prepared to lead millions of people to defeat this fascist regime. We do this not for ourselves alone, but in the Name of Humanity.

We march for women worldwide


We march because women’s rights are human rights...

Stand With IPPF/WHR

Dear Chris,

We march because women’s rights are human rights.
We march because we are stronger together.
We march because women and girls in the Americas and Caribbean deserve better.

And we do it every day because we know the fight for reproductive health and rights doesn’t end–or begin–with one person or event.

For more than 60 years, the International Planned Parenthood Federation/Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF/WHR) has shown up and spoken up when human rights are under attack. That is why we are proud to stand with our sisters in the US and throughout the world at the Women’s March on Washington on January 21. Will you join us?

Here are three ways you can support the global effort to raise the voices of women:

Find out information about local marches near you or the national march in DC here: www.womensmarch.com/ (http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=m8k1q2acJpbaiMEi3nKjGPt942CwFRdy)

Follow us on Facebook (http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=aMP1yPzxgCXtkP1PksXaehHUaOTCnJKx), Twitter (http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=wzU1hEFhvYDbRVjFOBmmU%2Ft942CwFRdy) and Instagram (http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=NrHm32mipZKkxWlPHDFgh%2Ft942CwFRdy). Use the hashtag #IDecide to send messages to our network in the Americas and Caribbean. Let them know that you stand for the right of every woman to make decisions about her own body–and you won’t back down.

We face oppositional forces each and every day in our region, forces that try to undermine the dignity and human rights of millions. We know the coming years will be tough, but we have no doubt that together, we can—and will—achieve justice for all.

In solidarity,

Urgent: STAY In The Streets


There Is An Urgent Need — And There IS Still Time In These Next Few Days — To Prevent This Fascist Regime From Ruling

On January 20, despite the protests of thousands and the anguish and anger stretching all around the world, the powers-that-be intend to inaugurate the Trump-Pence regime of fascism.

The Trump-Pence regime would be more than the sum of the many abuses and outrages it plans to perpetrate. If not prevented from ruling, it will be, as a regime, FASCIST — a blatant dictatorship relying on open terror and violence, committing atrocities against groups of people identified as “enemies,” “undesirables,” or “dangers to society.” A Trump-Pence regime would not only be illegitimate; if allowed to go forward it could be catastrophic for humanity.

Protest is important, but more than protest is needed.

We must actually go all out, now, to prevent this regime from ruling. We are, this weekend, hundreds of thousands protesting. Through staying in the streets and disrupting business as usual, over the next few days and into next week, we could together grow to millions and bring into being a major political crisis, to which all the factions in the power structure would have to react.

Stay in the streets, in DC and everywhere else.
In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America.

It seems counter-productive to build an entire protest movement solely around rejection of Trump (and/or Pence). If that didn't work for Hillary Clinton, it sure as hell won't work for the radical left and its revolutionary goals.

They were never the heart of the problem. They represent an "alt-right" seizure and misdirection of the masses' anger and misery. I know I'm not the first to say as much, but it seems to bear repeating.

It's not time for some kind of popular front against Trump, with liberals as fickle pseudo-allies. It's time to speak out and call attention to why the "centre-left" is a false alternative which is doomed to failure.

No more posters and placards and chanting of slogans. Liberal masturbation is not a part of the concrete organization needed to start a serious push against capitalism.

Occupation of buildings would do more than aimlessly breaking glass. Organization of alternative meetings to set out a concrete revolutionary program would do more than trying to block Air Force members from entering the inauguration.

I don't think the 'tactic' itself would matter much, if there was truly mass antagonism towards the status quo -- in this case, the Trump presidency and the ongoing bourgeois austerity program.

*Something* has to kick-things-off, to take a 'snapshot' of popular political sentiment, the way Occupy did. Given mass support, those who are more proactive could certainly occupy buildings, etc., and know that others were doing things to keep them safe, with plans for *further* political incursions.

Sure, a revolutionary program is important, too -- here's one:

Share this to stand in solidarity with the women’s march


Chris,

I’m at the Women’s March on Washington—a broad grassroots effort to show the incoming administration that working people will continue to march forward on the values that make our families, our communities, our unions and our nation strong.

The event is just getting underway here in Washington, D.C., so before I lose my cell signal, I wanted to share a simple way you can stand in solidarity with the march today.

6000 join massive Minnesota protest against Donald Trump inauguration (http://fightbacknews.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a29530af96a02fc55d345e735&id=f299339b58&e=d323598fe4)

http://www.fightbacknews.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/article-lead-photo/J20MN_banners_Kim%20DeFranco.JPG

By Kim DeFranco and staff

Minneapolis, MN - Jan. 20 was a day of national Inauguration Day Anti-Trump protests. The Resist from Day One Coalition, a coalition of over 80 Twin Cities local and grassroots organizations, brought 6000 people to march and rally to reject the Trump administration’s dangerous agenda. The day included a long march with three separate rallying points, until the final stop at the Hennepin County Government Center Plaza, which is also known as People’s Plaza.

As people gathered at Lake Street and Nicollet Avenue, they were greeted by many speakers and chants that hyped up their resolve to be united and fight back as Trump’s policies are rolled out in the coming weeks and months. The people’s chants of “Not our president!” could be heard for miles.

Many groups and individuals spoke out about the threats the new administration poses to Minnesotans and communities of the Twin Cities. Topics covered ranged from immigration; attacks on Muslims; women's issues; foreign policy; students on education; workers and economic attacks; police violence; political repression; Indigenous struggles; racist discrimination; LGBTQ, and the climate crisis.

Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), which spearheaded the coalition said, “We believe that no human being is illegal and no families should be separated by deportation. We pledge to resist Trump’s unjust attacks on immigrants.” That pledge was repeated from the crowd.

Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric has fanned the flames of xenophobia in the U.S. One of the major issues raised as a cornerstone of the new Trump administration is a rabidly anti-immigrant agenda that would do irreparable harm to families across the country, compounding the tragedy of the record numbers of deportations that happened under Obama.

Many programs and agencies stand to lose support and funding under the new administration, including programs that provide critical social services to many people in our local communities. Angel Buechner of the Welfare Rights Committee said, “The women of the Welfare Rights Committee have been battling sexism, racism, poor-bashing and bigotry for over 20 years - from both Republicans and Democrats. We have faced off against Trump-like crap before, as we struggle for basic income and dignity for poor families. So, we will not let this orange clown get us down!”

“No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA,” was one chant as the crowd moved from towards the second rallying point. As the marchers passed, many neighbors, workers and customers came out to cheer them on. The numbers of marchers grew every block as more protesters joined in.

As the march continued, many chants filled the air. “Sexist, racist, anti-gay, Donald Trump go away!” “Donald Trump, let’s be clear, refugees are welcome here!” “Trump says ‘go back,’ we say ‘fight back!’”

At the second rallying point, feeder marches joined in. The Black Snake Resistance March and a walkout of students at the University of Minnesota, Augsburg College and various high schools and elementary students merged together and walked to the Peoples’ Plaza.

At People’s Plaza - a nickname earned for the Hennepin County Government Plaza during the 2011 Occupy movement, which took over the space over for weeks - Jess Sundin, member of the Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar and Freedom Road Socialist Organization, welcomed participants, and spoke of need to build a movement to defeat Trump’s attacks and drive him from office. Other speakers highlighted anti-Muslim attacks, police violence, and students fighting to make their campuses sanctuaries for undocumented students.

Cherrene Horazuk, president of AFSCME 3800, the Clerical Workers Union at the University of Minnesota, spoke, "Trump has already signaled very clearly that it's open season on workers and our unions. President Trump has also made it clear that he is prepared to carry out massive attacks on our immigrant and Muslim co-workers and communities. Our union has always worked to create solidarity across differences, to expand our rights, and to unite all people in our efforts to improve working and living standards.”

“We have been here before and we will get through this,” stated Chauntyll Allen from Black Lives Matter-Saint Paul. She had the crowd repeat, “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support one other. We have nothing to lose but our chains,” a quote from Assata Shakur. She also led the crowd in a remembrance of the names Black and Brown people who were killed police in Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

A speaker on indigenous struggles ended with a chant, “We stand with Standing Rock!”

As the rally came to a close, Sundin urged the crowd to be ready to protest on the hundredth day Trump’s presidency stating, “Join us on May 1, International Workers’ Day!” The crowd was asked, “Will you be with us?” They roared back “Yes!” which led into the finally chant, “Dump Trump!”

Sparked by the election of Trump, the Resist From Day One Coalition MN was created to bring together a growing list of Twin Cities groups and individuals to unite in defending the communities against the racist, anti-immigrant, anti-worker, anti-Muslim, anti-woman, anti-environment, anti-LGBTQI agenda of the Trump administration and beyond.

Special report

Massive worldwide protests against Trump presidency

By a WSWS reporting team

22 January 2017

Millions of people participated in demonstrations throughout the United States and the world Saturday in a powerful and unprecedented show of opposition to the administration of US President Donald Trump.

The massive protests were far larger than organizers expected and came as a surprise to the corporate media. They were the biggest globally coordinated demonstrations since the 2003 protests against the invasion of Iraq. Demonstrations took place in over 600 locations on every continent, including at a US research station in Antarctica.

My initial impressions of this program are positive, in spite of the occasional reformist language. I wonder how big a presence they were at the protests.
There's also a question even the CBC raised: What's next? Was this a one-off, or the first of many such marches in a longer-term movement not just tied to Trump?

5000 protest Trump inauguration in Chicago (http://fightbacknews.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a29530af96a02fc55d345e735&id=0400290974&e=d323598fe4)

http://www.fightbacknews.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/article-lead-photo/USPCN%20Nesreen.jpg

By Joe Iosbaker

Chicago, IL - After a day of protests and walkouts on the campuses of DePaul, Loyola and the University of Illinois at Chicago, 5000 people rallied and marched back and forth across Chicago’s Loop, Jan. 20, in opposition to the racist agenda of President Trump.

At one point, about 1000 of the marchers gathered on the bank of the Chicago River, in the shadow of Trump Tower. Kofi Ademola of Black Lives Matter led everyone in turning and raising a middle finger salute to the giant Trump sign.

Nesreen Hassan from the U.S. Palestinian Community Network delivered a statement that read, “We pledge to continue our resistance to the attacks coming from the likes of Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and from the Chicago Police Department.” There were passionate speeches from immigrant activists, as well as the patriotic Filipino youth organization, AnakBayan.

One common theme was to reject the message from the Democratic Party leadership to give Trump ‘the benefit of the doubt.’ Frank Chapman of the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression pointed out that Trump’s inaugural address was a call to attack the oppressed, particularly Muslims, but also the Black community. Chapman challenged those gathered to prepare for a great battle, and to defeat the attacks coming down from the administration.

Unionists and Labor Rights Activists Rally in Front of Carl's Jr. in S.F. to Protest Trump's Anti-Labor Agenda

By Alan Benjamin (*)

SAN FRANCISCO -- An estimated 100 labor activists braved the torrential rain Friday afternoon, January 20 (Inauguration Day), to protest Trump's anti-labor agenda. Fourteen unions were represented at the rally, which was held in front of Carl's Jr. to denounce Trump's nomination of Andrew Puzder as the new Secretary of Labor. (Puzder, the CEO of Carl's Jr., is opposed to an increase in the minimum wage; in fact, he does not believe in the need for any minimum wage.)

The half-hour Labor Rally was held immediately prior to the 5 p.m. mass rally organized by the ANSWER coalition. Many union contingents arrived for the main rally but could not make it to the earlier labor feeder rally, as union members were just getting out of work at that time.

[See attached photos of Labor Rally by labor photo-journalist David Bacon. The photo selection includes a photo of two labor contingents - SEIU Local 1021 and UNITE-HERE Local 2 - taken at other times during the day.]

The Labor Rally was co-sponsored by the San Francisco Labor Council (AFL-CIO) and Jobs with Justice SF. The leaflet calling for the Rally put forward the following demands, all of which were addressed by the rally speakers:

* No to Privatization of Social Security & Medicare!
* No to Right-to-Work (For Less) Laws!
* There Is a Real Solution: Single Payer Now!
* Money for Jobs and Social Services, Not War!
* End All Deportations, Stop All Hate Crimes!
* $15 Minimum Wage and a Union!

The labor rally was chaired by two co-emcees: Alisa Messer, Political Director, AFT 2121; and Kung Feng, Lead Organizer, Jobs with Justice San Francisco. Both highlighted the powerful protest marches, rallies, and actions held earlier in the day throughout downtown San Francisco.

Six speakers addressed the labor gathering. They were:

- Tim Paulson - Executive Director of San Francisco Labor Council

- Fakhra Shah - Mission High School Teacher and member of United Educators of San Francisco

- Raquel Botello - Organizer with La Colectiva, the San Francisco Women's Collective and leader with the California Domestic Workers Coalition

- Lucia Lin - Senior Movement Building Coordinator with the Chinese Progressive Association and leader with the Progressive Workers Alliance

- Jonathan Meade - Chairperson of Campaign for a Healthy California San Francisco Chapter and retired member of SEIU Local 1021

- Michael Gene Sullivan - San Francisco Mime Troup Collective and member of SAG-AFTRA

Following are the presentations from three of the six speakers (Fakhra Shah, Raquel Botello, and Jonathan Meade) who addressed the Labor Rally. These were the only speakers who had prepared written statements. We were not able to tape the other speakers.

Presentation by Fakhra Shah

[Note: Fakhra Shah, a social studies teacher at Mission High School and a member of United Educators of San Francisco, is the author of a lesson plan, drafted just hours after Trump's election, to help teachers at her school struggling with how to answer students' questions and concerns about Trump becoming president. The four-page plan's introduction includes this guidance: "Let us please not sidestep the fact that a racist and sexist man has become the president of our country by pandering to a huge racist and sexist base." The lesson plan was posted to the union's website, stirring a huge national debate that was covered widely by the media.]

Good Afternoon!

I said this to you once before, I will say it again: A racist and sexist man has become our president. However in saying that, there are a few things that I left out, I missed: an ABLEIST, xenophobic, and Islamophobic man has become our president -- and we MUST REFUSE to allow ourSELVES, OUR students, OUR YOUTH to be threatened in our schools. WE WILL NOT NORMALIZE bigotry and HATE IN OUR SCHOOLS.

How many here today are educators? How many are educators of color? How many of you have fought oppression your entire lives? It's true, we have always been threatened, but now we are going to be directly assaulted by Trump, by his cabinet, and specifically by Betsy DeVos!

BETSY DEVOS is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Education, and she is an ableist. How can someone be nominated for Secretary of Education and not be familiar with the federal law, specifically with the INDIVIDUALS WITH DIASBILITIES EDUCATION ACT (IDEA)?

In the hearing, DeVos did not agree to uphold federal law to protect students with disabilities; as a matter of fact she had no idea that this was a federally mandated law that all schools receiving federal funding must uphold.

We MUST NOT ALLOW someone like Betsy DeVos to become Secretary of Education. Everything that we have ever fought for is at stake. Human rights are at stake.

There are many who are asking us educators to be neutral, Betsy DeVos, is NOT NEUTRAL. TRUMP IS NOT NEUTRAL. They want to dismantle all of the rights we have ever fought for.
As educators, as adults, we must fight to keep ourselves and our communities safe. We must keep fighting, keep speaking out, and remember, when they are asking you to be neutral, that is their only way of disarming us! Will not be disarmed!

Remember the words of Desmond Tutu:

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

* * * * * * * * * *

Presentation by Raquel Botello

Good afternoon,

My name is Raquel Botello. I am a member of La Colectiva de Mujeres (Women's Collective) and of the Day Labor coalition. I am a domestic worker.

I thank the organizers of this event for inviting me to speak.

We have enormous challenges ahead with the new president, but we must resist. We must organize and mobilize to demand our rights. We must mobilize to defend and expand our healthcare rights. We need a real healthcare system -- whatever name you call it -- that meets all of our needs as working people.

We must mobilize to demand an end to the deportations of our undocumented immigrant sisters and brothers. Not One More Deportation. We cannot accept the separation of our families, with our children no longer able to live with their parents. We need to return America to its best values and traditions!

We must demand an end to the Border Wall of Shame!

And we must demand an end to the discrimination against women. We women should be valued and respected fully. We must demand equality in all realms. We must demand respect and dignity!

But to do all this we must unite; labor and community must work together. United we will win, because our unity is our strength.

Si Se Puede!

Thank you.

Presentation by Jonathan Meade

Good afternoon. My name is Jonathan Meade. I'm with SEIU Local 1021, and I've been with my union for 36 years. It's good to see all of you union members out here today. Because we know what's going on here today is more than a protest. This is the beginning of a fight. And fighting is what we do.

It doesn't matter if it's our employer, Donald Trump and the Republicans in Washington, or corporate democrats in California. You come after me - you come after my family - you come after my grandchildren - these assholes/people do not even know what they're in for.

I've been asked to talk to you about defending Medicare, Medical, and Social Security, but you know, I worked the streets of San Francisco for 30 years as a paramedic, so I know about healthcare. If the Affordable Care Act is dismantled - if Medicare is privatized - if Medical is cut to the bone - if your retirement age is raised and your Social Security benefits are cut - millions of people will be thrown into poverty - and thousands will die. They don't care. And what will happen to our union healthcare benefits? We all know what's going on there. We've been fighting that fight at the bargaining table for the last 20 years, and we are not winning.

From 1999 to 2014 healthcare premiums across America rose by 191% -- and worker contributions rose by 212%. Many union members and union leaders still think we can protect our healthcare benefits through contract negotiations and fighting our own individual fights. That is dead wrong. The last 20 years have already proved that.

We can't win by just trying to hang on to what we as union members have. If millions of people lose their healthcare coverage in California, you think they are going to care what happens to our benefits? Everyone needs healthcare. Not just union members - everyone deserves healthcare.

The only way to protect our union healthcare benefits from the death of a thousand cuts at a thousand different bargaining tables is to create a healthcare system in California that provides decent healthcare benefits to everyone. Some people call this single payer - some call it Medicare for All, but just like in Canada, in England, in France, in Germany, in Japan, in Taiwan, in Cuba - we can have universal health coverage. Medicare for All covers everyone, costs less than we are spending now, and takes healthcare off the bargaining table. No insurance companies - guess what, we don't need them - they add nothing of value to our healthcare system - by cutting out the middleman, we can save tens of billions of dollars every year.

This is not pie in the sky. We can actually do this. Californians are not going to accept the dismantling of Obamacare, the gutting of Medical, and the privatizing of Medicare. We have an opportunity - to go big and go on the offensive - through the California legislature, or through the ballot initiative process. The only things standing in our way are the insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and ourselves. We know that if all of California labor unites around an issue we can win. We've done it before. It's time to unite - and fight - and win. Thank you. Long live unions.

STAY in the Streets Today


Chris --


Stop Mass Incarceration Network is sharing this from RefuseFascism.org (http://www.stoppoliceterror.org/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Frefusefascism.org&e=4160b7d4c80bd7ff2829463c3b9e0a03&utm_source=riseupoctober&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=rf_2017_1_23&n=1), initiated by Carl Dix and Cornel West:

http://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/riseupoctober/mailings/181/attachments/original/STAY-IN-THE-STREETS3-1.jpg?1485192105

Today is Trumps' first business day in office.

Stay alert for executive orders being signed.

Refuse Fascism calls everyone to stay in the streets:

The world changed this weekend.

First, Donald Trump made clear in an unprecedented inaugural speech and then an equally unprecedented appearance at the CIA that he is moving very rapidly to a fascist reordering of society.

Second, millions of the people in the U.S. and around the world came out in equally unprecedented demonstrations to make clear their abhorrence for everything Trump stands for.

The world changed, but it must change still more. Time is short. Once such a fascist reordering takes place, resistance and change become immeasurably more difficult.

We must not lose the momentum. Act on Monday at Noon, in Washington, DC and all over.

Our Resistance on Monday must call even more people back into the streets. To stop this regime, we must stop business as usual this week. Every faction in the power structure must feel compelled to respond to what we the people do.

This could force a political situation in which the Trump-Pence regime is prevented from consolidating, and could be ousted.

All Out Monday and Every Day this week.

IN DC: Monday, January 23: 12 Noon: Say NO! at the Capitol, East Capitol St. and 1st St NE. (map). On the first business day of the new fascist Trump/Pence Regime, assemble at the Capitol to say NO! We Refuse to accept a Trump/Pence Fascist America! Bring the word "NO!" on signs, shirts, banners and more.

25 campuses hold walkouts on Inauguration Day (http://fightbacknews.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=a29530af96a02fc55d345e735&id=4fb2c23514&e=d323598fe4)

Students everywhere say no to Trump’s agenda

http://www.fightbacknews.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/article-lead-photo/sdswalkout.jpg

By Chrisley Carpio

Tampa, FL - On Jan. 20, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) organized a nationwide student walkout in protest of President Trump’s inauguration, his racist, xenophobic agenda, and his cabinet choices of millionaires and billionaires. His choices so far promise a four years filled with more war, deportations, the privatization of education, union-busting and threats to the rights of women and LGBTQ people. In over 25 cities around the country, SDS chapters led walkouts of classes and marched under the slogans: “Stop Trump’s Agenda! Education For All! Sanctuary For All!”

These walkouts all differed in size, chants and speakers, but they shared common themes of peace, education, equality and protection from bigotry. SDS members in Chicago, Minneapolis and Salt Lake City pulled hundreds of students out of class and led them to join thousands of protesters in the streets, from 1000 in Salt Lake City to 6000 in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, on large campuses with new SDS chapters, students did the same. They rang in the new year with walkouts and made speeches denouncing President Trump and his agenda of inequality.

At Arizona State University (ASU), SDS members walked out for the preservation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), for protection from deportations for undocumented people, and for ‘direct democracy,’ or the end of the electoral college. According to Fallon Leyba, a leading member of ASU SDS, the protest featured a number of Brown Beret members, undocumented students who rely on DACA to go to school, and mothers of undocumented youth. A group of angry white supremacist counter-protesters attempted to ruin their event, but SDS members and the protest attendees chanted over them, marched and then beat open a Trump-shaped piñata.

In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, SDS members at Florida International University (FIU SDS), held their first protest ever, where students also demanded a sanctuary campus. They rallied for four hours and gave speeches about how their campus should protect not only undocumented students but students of all genders, sexual orientations and nationalities. Michelle Perez-Helago, the founder of FIU SDS, then went on to state that the event “was a milestone” in their efforts to get enough members to be officially recognized as a student organization on FIU’s campus.

At the University of New Orleans at Lafayette, yet another SDS chapter held their first event on Jan. 20. Their members called for students to empower themselves through walkouts, demonstrations and other examples of non-compliance with administration, police, and agents of Wall Street. One Lafayette SDS member, Michael Benoit, said, "This right here is what moves history, not Trump, not Obama, not anyone too high to face the people. It is right to rebel, and today we begin a fight for the people of the U.S. against Trump and his policies. If we struggle, we will win."

Lauren Broussard, the founder of Lafayette SDS, spoke in her speech about the failure of investor-driven politicians to solve the problems of students and oppressed people. The answer, she says, lies not in the ballot box, but in the hearts of the people themselves. “Trump is a symptom of a system that has failed us,” Lauren said. “I know this seems small, but every movement starts somewhere. If we unite and persist, we can grow and make real change.”

Utah SDS leads walkout, 1500 march in Salt Lake City to protest Trump inauguration (http://fightbacknews.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a29530af96a02fc55d345e735&id=fd1d5903e7&e=d323598fe4)

http://www.fightbacknews.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/article-lead-photo/slcJan20.jpg

By staff

Salt Lake City, UT- On Jan. 19, 50 University of Utah students walked out of their classes at 11:50 a.m. to protest the Trump inauguration. The students marched despite a university-wide memo stating they will “not be excused.” Led by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), they gathered at Library Plaza to speak out against Trump’s bigoted agenda and demand a sanctuary campus for undocumented immigrant students.

“We have the power to take action and organize. The progressive people of Utah, from schools, work places, and communities support the struggle against racism, sexism, ableism and LGBT discrimination. We stand with immigrants to defend their rights!” said Shirley Reyes of SDS.

The students marched through heavy snow and in to the Administration Building chanting loudly, “Trump says go back! We say fight back!” Security was called, while the students delivered a 600-person petition to the university president's desk.

Mass march through heart of SLC

The next day, on the evening of Jan. 20, 1500 people marched through the heart of downtown Salt Lake City to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump. Starting at the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building, chants echoed through the crowd, “Racist, sexist, anti-gay, Donald Trump go away!” and “Education not deportation!”

“Trump's agenda is absolutely horrifying. His plans for healthcare, foreign policy, immigration and much more are disgusting!” said rally host Abby Stover with the University of Utah SDS.

“Now at the top of Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress’s agenda are ‘Right to work’ laws which force unions to represent all workers, but doesn't require any of them to pay the dues unions need to represent workers effectively. The only hope of killing these laws is our resistance,” said Nick Godfrey, a Teamster at UPS.

The march passed the City Creek Mall, which was heavily guarded by police. The large crowd then occupied Main and South Temple Streets, a busy intersection.

Gabriella Killpack, an anti-war activist and Teamster, took the megaphone and said, "We’re here in the center of downtown, right by the Mormon Temple, to show the country that we won’t bow down to Trump as the Mormon Tabernacle did today.”

“Our call to action for the next four years and for however long the wealthy ruling class is in power is to build strong people’s organizations,” commented Theresa Nielson, a march organizer and member of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

The march proceeded up State Street to finish at the Utah State Capitol.

Coming To Grips With The New Situation

January 25, 2017

A Letter from Carl Dix, Sunsara Taylor, and Andy Zee

As the three people who kicked off Refusefascism.org we write today to all who have taken up the Call: In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=14YIVd7ahRXhVgqLFXbbjmSWDy00ELom), and to everyone following the campaign. We can say now, January 25, that the Trump-Pence fascist regime has basically assumed the reins of power. Every day they carry through some new outrage, be it in the realm of reactionary and repressive executive orders or appointments or proposed legislation, in threats of war or the re-legalization of torture, or in the almost equally dangerous assertion of their “alternative facts” (that is, their lies) as the truth. They surely have more, and worse, yet to come. Right now the ruling class is – some grudgingly and some enthusiastically – either going along with this or at most offering petty amendments.

That does NOT mean that the possibility of ousting this regime through truly massive action is over, and that all people can do is work on local projects or hope for some pendulum swing somewhere down the road — while Trump-Pence carry out truly monstrous things and put the whole planet in jeopardy. Far from it. Precisely because this regime is fascist and a qualitative change from the “normal workings” of this system, and because millions of people – correctly – view this regime as utterly illegitimate, the possibility of crisis erupting at any time is great. There could be some new outrage – an attack from the Trump-Pence fascists on some section of the people which calls forth resistance and pushes people into the streets in a mushrooming sort of dynamic. There could be a conflict within the ruling class brought on by some move of Trump deemed by others at the top to be too risky, posing too much of a threat to the functioning of the established order and to what they see as their imperialist interests. We should all keep this in mind and remain tense and attuned to seize on even the hints of such possibilities.

But the period when millions could be directly summoned into the street to prevent the consolidation of Trump-Pence is drawing to a close. The regime has achieved a relative stability, and things are proceeding on that basis. This is not the reality we worked and fought to bring into being, but it is the reality that humanity faces; we did not achieve our objective, and that has consequences. So it is important now to take stock.

Refusefascism.org

A little over a month ago supporters of the Revolutionary Communist Party united with other people into refusefascism.org to initiate an effort to “stop the regime before it starts.” Together, we put out a Call (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PgWxRSpoya55rt2lfKTp%2FK7amJoZXzrB) for millions to recognize the fascist nature of the regime and to start taking the streets in early January. This was possible based on the anger manifested in the street demonstrations directly after the election and the continuing anguish even after those died down.

The Call to Act set out a goal and a realistically-founded means to get there stating:

“The Trump Regime Must and Can Be Stopped Before It Starts!
“This is not wishful thinking but could be made a reality if all who hate what is represented by this fascist regime translate our outrage into massive mobilization to create the political conditions which make this possible. We are millions. Our only recourse now is to act together outside the normal channels. Every faction within the established power structure must be forced to respond to what we do—creating a situation where the Trump/Pence regime is prevented from ruling.” (Read the entire call here).

Accompanying this call was the mission and plan (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=C1lwP%2FgfIbYAZIW6BrXt7a7amJoZXzrB) that drew from history and an understanding of the basis for sudden “jolts” in society to make the case for HOW this might be done, why it could work and what would have to be done to make it happen. Hundreds of people took this up, thousands more supported it, and millions were reached with this basic message. Many other forces, with different strategies and goals but also strongly opposed to Trump-Pence, also began to mobilize and fight against the prospect of what this regime would do. People raised their voices and fought hard, many were arrested, and the legitimacy of this regime was called into question deeply enough that Trump still feels forced to continually (and defensively) insist on it. Yet both the necessary level of struggle (millions in the streets, night after night) and the necessary kind of struggle (breaking out of the confines of the normal channels) that refusefascism.org aimed for did not materialize.

Then, this past weekend, two big things happened. On Friday, Trump was inaugurated and from the first minutes of his speech he made sharply clear that he would indeed rule as a fascist. On Saturday, millions of people worldwide turned out for the Women’s March to express their revulsion and opposition to Trump, in an unprecedented mobilization against the new regime.

On the basis of these two new factors in the situation, we and others in refusefascism still hoped to be able to call out sufficient numbers of those who had been mobilized, and get the dynamic going early in the week where this would snowball and create the necessary conditions where, despite the inauguration, the regime could not consolidate itself. (See: “The World Changed This Weekend (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=0xu3Um%2Bhy7KKgotgmhST4a7amJoZXzrB)”). We knew, and stated, that this was a long-shot; but it was a shot worth taking, given what is at stake. Had it succeeded, a huge danger would have been averted and a new point of departure would have been achieved from which to go forward in struggle. But now, more than midway through the week, it is clear that it has not.

The New Juncture

So we stand at a new juncture. The regime is in power, and moving quickly. At the same time, millions have registered their opposition and many are looking for a way to fight. Over these next few weeks, revcom.us will be covering the regime and the resistance to it with the same intensity and level of analysis that we have since the election.

Right now it is very important that those who came together around refusefascism.org stay together, reflect on and sum up the rich experience of the past six weeks, and develop new strategy. As one key element of this, it will be important to join with and at times initiate actions against the outrages continually perpetrated by Trump, reaching out to others and sharing perspectives with them.

For the two bedrock points from which we joined with others to start this initiative remain true. One, that this regime is indeed fascist and as such poses a mortal threat and must be defeated. And two, that there are people – millions and tens of millions — who can potentially be mobilized to fight against it and who must be led to step outside the confines of politics-as-usual (including protest-as-usual) to actually OUST this horrendous monstrosity.

Finally, moving into a new phase, it is important to look at what WAS done, as well as what was not. In the space of a month, people came together in refusefascism.org to develop and get out the Call to Act, and Mission and Plan, that clearly assessed the danger and illegitimacy of this regime and sounded the alarm about its fascist nature. Refusefascism.org held emergency meetings in the week before Christmas, bringing together people of many different viewpoints, united around the shared goal of preventing Trump-Pence from ruling. Thousands of signatures were garnered, including prominent voices in society, and together we raised the money to print the call to act in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and elsewhere and get it before millions. We struggled for people to understand that what we face right now goes beyond all the truly horrible things that this regime has already begun to do and actually constitutes a fascist re-ordering of society with even more dire consequences and got this understanding out in one form or another to literally millions.

Refuse Fascism developed and popularized the NO! symbol. We united people to step out in so many different ways (in cultural programs, in forums, in school walkouts, getting out the wonderful videos and memes on social media, etc) during the short time between New Year’s and January 20. Volunteers from refusefascism.org left their homes to go to DC weeks early to fight for this (even getting arrested and abused in doing so). Our message got into the media, from Fox NEWS to the Amsterdam News in Harlem, from Pacifica Radio to Allhiphop.com and all kinds of other places, whether in in-depth interviews or contentious exchanges with reactionaries or the posters with the NO! symbol that popped up on the network and cable news and in the print media during the week leading into the inauguration; and people created from scratch a dynamic social media presence. Refusefascism.org brought together scientists, cultural figures, activists of different viewpoints, clergy of all different denominations and nationalities, designers, former political prisoners, scholars and many others in a beginning community of resistance — and we forged a model of relating diametrically opposed to that of Trump-Pence and their minions. As part of that, we discussed and wrangled over and debated out how we got to into this situation, about this system and its dynamics and how it could be changed and whether there is a whole other and better way we could be living.

All this strengthens the basis from which to fight forward. That is no small thing. And that is what we now must do.

Unite against hate! // ¡Nos unimos contra el odio!


We Belong Together

Dear Chris,

Yesterday, President Trump signed two dangerous executive orders that threaten the lives of millions of immigrant women, children and families. The orders increase the militarization of our borders, and punish communities that provide sanctuary for immigrants and refugees fleeing violence. Women Together Stand with All Refugee Families

Monday he attacked Native American communities by reviving the Dakota Access Pipeline, today we anticipate he will attack Muslim communities and refugees. We will not be silent as he comes for the most vulnerable among us.

On Saturday, we marched with millions of women worldwide to stand up to hate and protect our families, communities, and democracy from these types of attacks. Now, we carry that momentum forward to create a national groundswell of outrage against Trump’s hateful policies, and the pillaging of our democracy.

Click here to sign our Women’s Pledge of Unity and share it with at least 5 people. (http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/3wA/ni0YAA/t.24b/IFNNzO_PQw2DIXLAndm9qg/h0/mHN54uPhY25EOaArZ7tBPtOot7TZXWPF9vt1OKs9D0Tcsx5o8U RJnQmAWRvpSDPrmYRQ5GQJ7iQ0Ta-2FIwVX8ZhphEcfeo-2FPfbbPosqHJ7kDkQcHI07z5-2F-2FZw8giPjPftROq9OiX-2BIe5JWSpgaIcuHfknprZ-2FyvGNi4wbHVUvexB2XBy-2FWBPZ89gvZZUAnWeAVxrL5zzKbnJb8heuQpCNfVIgx6ebuzJK 3g9v4ktr1D-2BtRLCex4WDMtwmrQynFazCr5EX-2BY0sb9YpmWpYQkmUDOK9sXb1MCtFP7TfSrvFjyJp6pV0jgn7V SZjGZoFcYO413HuGd7BuuNEv7KqW2Rm1A-3D-3D)

The Women’s March on Saturday was our first act of resistance. Now we need millions of women to sign the Women’s Pledge of Unity (http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/3wA/ni0YAA/t.24b/IFNNzO_PQw2DIXLAndm9qg/h1/mHN54uPhY25EOaArZ7tBPtOot7TZXWPF9vt1OKs9D0Tcsx5o8U RJnQmAWRvpSDPrmYRQ5GQJ7iQ0Ta-2FIwVX8ZhphEcfeo-2FPfbbPosqHJ7kBq29xDprj6rfKIrGPVMKSnJ-2FvqE-2FDXs2tbK-2FxcDZKL4LguUWdHxeSrmgX5xpXgr104S0ZZDi0Ff7uShHB-2BsSCl2yoLVALwAtyZB3xGtPjMqAZsY8kufftvYb3gsomIC467 ulgRE52bPPGOZ5SRDHaYeyj8LCmRfFypsMTCfUnBBHmh-2BhFbi7SdVM9BBz2PmroH-2FsrhkJgrRaNyYBE2q1BP6hXWkRQ96XmbjsW23JDhJw-3D-3D), the next step in our opposition to the President’s politics of hate and division.

Lidia, an immigrant from Mexico lives in the border city of El Paso, Texas. “I have seen families and border communities torn apart by inhumane immigration policies. Trump’s executive orders will increase raids, terrorize entire communities, separate more families, and lead to more hate crimes. I’m concerned for immigrant women at the border, many of whom are the breadwinners and heads of their households, working as domestic workers with few protections.”

By standing with women like Lidia, an advocate for survivors of human trafficking at the Labor Justice Committee, and refusing to stay silent in the face of this administration’s hate and fear-mongering, we stand up for our democracy and for our families. We must exhibit courageous resolve.

Thank you for taking action with us today.

Estimada Chris,

Ayer, el Presidente Trump firmó dos peligrosas órdenes ejecutivas que amenazan la vida de millones de mujeres inmigrantes, niños y familias. Las órdenes allanan el camino para un muro fronterizo, aumentan la militarización de nuestras fronteras y penalizan a las comunidades que proporcionan refugio para migrantes y refugiados. Mujeres Unidas se solidarizan con todas las familias refugiadas

El lunes atacó a las comunidades índigenas reviviendo Dakota Access Pipeline, hoy anticipamos que atacará a comunidades y refugiados musulmanes. No nos callaremos cuando venga por los más vulnerables entre nosotros.

El sábado, marchamos con millones de mujeres en todo el mundo para oponernos al odio y para proteger a nuestras familias, comunidades y democracia de este tipo de ataques. Ahora, llevamos ese impulso para crear un oleaje nacional de acción combativa contra las políticas de odio de Trump y el saqueo de nuestra democracia.

La Marcha de las Mujeres el sábado fue nuestro primer acto de resistencia. Ahora necesitamos que millones de mujeres firmen el Compromiso de Unidad de las Mujeres (http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/3wA/ni0YAA/t.24b/IFNNzO_PQw2DIXLAndm9qg/h4/mHN54uPhY25EOaArZ7tBPtOot7TZXWPF9vt1OKs9D0QW-2Bf-2F4kgBcu1xSLHRuooJVY94cbNbbELjHulra-2FeBltV0W-2BWx3NNVoPMIau9gl1FaGIrY1uy0JgUwoEokzR98gRcqIL3PSv 8fDu5VKvztOb0zAHVhuRjlbmeh43-2FZzgAoqCCLQ-2BfVkF9-2FIUg2Df3wj9LnA9HhYR6N-2B-2Flds47JmHqJIw-2F6WVcEm6TDlBalfble4zH0DfK5Z-2BNrjgphCax9p-2FewByy6CVofZ3LSz0S-2FjGbW8vvEhYmxUV2fYn42uvCeiwD4Y0-2BBwD3dBpw1j7qJiF9iUm1J9JM-2FLQ9b2Gy-2Fn5g-3D-3D) como el siguiente paso en nuestra oposición a la política de odio y división del Presidente.

Lidia es una inmigrante de México que vive en la ciudad fronteriza de El Paso, Texas. "He visto a familias y comunidades fronterizas desgarradas por políticas inhumanas de inmigración. Las órdenes ejecutivas de Trump aumentarán las redadas, crearán terror en comunidades enteras, separarán más familias y ocasionarán más crímenes de odio. Estoy preocupada por las mujeres migrantes en la frontera, muchas de las cuales mantienen a sus familias trabajando como trabajadoras del hogar con pocas protecciones. "

Nos mantendremos de pie junto a mujeres como Lidia, quien aboga por sobrevivientes de la trata humana con el Comité de Justicia Laboral, y nos negamos a permanecer en silencio ante el odio y temor de esta administración, porque luchamos por nuestra democracia y por nuestras familias. Debemos mostrar una resolución valiente.

Gracias por tomar acción con nosotras hoy.

SIGN to Drop All Charges against DC Jan 20 Trump Resisters

SIGN (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAgwJGQNSBwwaCFcABVE) to DROP ALL CHARGES AGAINST DC JAN 20 TRUMP RESISTERS

The media spent last year rightly calling Donald Trump a racist, sexist xenophobe and bully. The Atlantic called him Mussolini, Politico called him Pinochet, and NY Magazine called him Adolf Hitler. We could see for ourselves in his wild statements during the campaign that the man was a monster. Why wouldn’t people resist?

Tens of thousands responded and came to D.C. They faced thousands of militarized police, roadblocks, checkpoints and Trump’s fascist supporters.

Five blocks from the White House and close to permitted rally sites militarized police units swept in on a diverse crowd at an intersection. They were barricaded for 8 hours and gassed with chemical agents. The police leveled the fraudulent and highly political charge of ‘Felony Riot’ on all 216 people. But NO riot took place! Those arrested now face 10 years in prison, $25,000 in fines and felony records. The police have no proof of guilt. Instead they gave everyone the exact same felony charge. In their frantic search to find guilt police confiscated and have kept all cell phones and electronic equipment. Those swept up include journalists, legal observers, medics, everyday people walking down the street and activists willing to get in the streets to resist oppression.

These serious charges are meant to chill the growing movement against Trump’s egregious acts. Hundreds of thousands are pouring into the streets across the country to protest the ban on Muslims, the restart of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL),racist police killings the attack on the Affordable Care Act, and other acts that put us all at risk.

It is essential for the movement as a whole to come to the defense of all the militant resisters of the Black Lives Matter Movement, the DAPL Pipeline Water Protectors and the Immigrant Rights activists and all other resisters.

Hundreds of millions of Americans are disgusted with the prospect of Klu Klux Klan sympathizer Jeff Sessions running the Justice Department. The DOJ will be prosecuting those arrested. Jeff Sessions, who once wanted to sentence marijuana dealers to death, will be the man ultimately responsible for prosecuting 200 people with10 years in jail for a trash can fire and some minimal property damage blocks away.

We must say NO! A collective defense of all those who oppose Trump’s agenda is necessary. But first, we must join in one unified voice to demand the Department of Justice immediately drop ALL charges against the January 20th Trump resistors.

SIGN the petition HERE (http://www.solidarityweb.com/lists/lt.php?id=Lh8GAgwJGQNSBwwaCFcABVE)

Text of Petition:

Office of the United States Attorneys
Department of Justice

Dear U.S. Attorney for District of Columbia Channing D. Phillips,

I urge you to drop the charges against more than 200 people arrested in DC on January 20.

On January 20 tens of thousands of people arrived in DC to support and to protest the January 20 Inauguration of Donald Trump. At one intersection Washington D.C. Police arrested more than 200 people. They were charged with felony riot, although no riot took place.

The January 20th police actions were in violation of all Washington D.C. policing guidelines and First Amendment protections. People were sprayed with burning chemical agents, held barricaded on the street for many hours and denied access to a lawyer. Those arrested now face 10 years in prison, $25,000 in fines and felony records. The arrested includes journalists, legal observers working with the National Lawyers Guild, medics, and everyday people.

On January 20 thousands of people were involved in First Amendment protected free speech demonstrations.

I am determined to oppose all repression against those resisting Trump, including the Black Lives Matter movement, the DAPL pipeline water protectors, the Immigrant Rights activists, prisoners and all other resisters. I urge you to uphold the right to protest and free speech by dropping all the charges against the DC Jan 20 Trump resisters NOW.

Sincerely,



<your signature>

You've got to see this!


Dear Chris:

Moments ago, at the 2017 MAKERS Conference, our very own Vicki Shabo presented the National Partnership’s new PSA about a woman who is 260 weeks pregnant (http://go.nationalpartnership.org/site/R?i=1pBkC-S1wB7bmvRjQ5u2kw) because she doesn’t have paid leave.

It’s absurd, right?

And so is the fact that 86 percent of us don’t have paid family leave through our jobs, and more than 60 percent of us don’t have paid medical leave through an employer’s temporary disability program.

http://go.nationalpartnership.org/images/content/pagebuilder/email.paidleavePSA.png (http://go.nationalpartnership.org/site/R?i=-2hZijhIBrvp8BhqOouFFA)

Watch the video » (http://go.nationalpartnership.org/site/R?i=rjzGJOQjtrHbynT8vkRIcg)

The PSA already has more than two million views (!), and it’s getting some rave reviews:

“In the space of about 90 seconds, this video manages to savagely demonstrate why paid family leave is vital to families — and why it’s so absurd that the United States doesn’t have it.” — Bustle

“You'll probably be very much in favor of paid leave once you contemplate how it would feel to have a toddler make themselves at home in your abdomen.” — Mashable

“[T]he video strikes a perfect tone. It’s funny to watch Lauren chugging antacids like she’s at a kegger and wanly smile at another woman’s dainty bump, but the overall message is clear: This is a deeply troubling issue for working families.” — Working Mother

Chris, I hope you’ll watch the video (http://go.nationalpartnership.org/site/R?i=G0dtJsflZOzxJDiCd8B8_g) and then take a moment to help spread the word on Facebook and Twitter.

It’s time for a robust national paid family and medical leave program that checks all the boxes. Learn more » (http://go.nationalpartnership.org/site/R?i=G0V4mJl3yS8__qoAGbWwbA)

Thanks for all that you do!

It’s Time to Rise with Working Women


If you're having trouble viewing this email, you may see it online (https://laborrights.z2systems.com/track//servlet/DisplayLink?orgId=laborrights&emailId=47b13e2723fb5668642241a962f3f9464m21697164 7b&secureId=OF4U7VVi3j%2BBxhTQ9CAikg%3D%3D&linkId=14024&targetUrl=http://laborrights.z2systems.com/np/clients/laborrights/viewOnlineEmail.jsp?emailId=47b13e2723fb5668642241 a962f3f9464m216971647b)


Dear Chris,

With the Women’s March on Washington and the hundreds of sister marches, we witnessed what political scientists are calling the largest day of demonstrations in United States history (https://laborrights.z2systems.com/track//servlet/DisplayLink?orgId=laborrights&emailId=47b13e2723fb5668642241a962f3f9464m21697164 7b&secureId=OF4U7VVi3j%2BBxhTQ9CAikg%3D%3D&linkId=14023&targetUrl=http://www.vox.com/2017/1/22/14350808/womens-marches-largest-demonstration-us-history-map). The marches were an incredible representation of the anger, frustration and pain experienced by so many women, as well as a moment of true global solidarity as people marched in 200 demonstrations outside the US.

Here’s the thing: we can’t let our momentum stop here. We must stay in the fight, and in the streets, to make real progress towards stopping the global epidemic of violence against women. (More on this in Judy Gearhart's latest Huffington Post piece (https://laborrights.z2systems.com/track//servlet/DisplayLink?orgId=laborrights&emailId=47b13e2723fb5668642241a962f3f9464m21697164 7b&secureId=OF4U7VVi3j%2BBxhTQ9CAikg%3D%3D&linkId=14019&targetUrl=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/judy-gearhart/an-ocean-of-pink-hats-sus_b_14422412.html).)

Over the past four years, activists across the globe have risen up to demand an end to this epidemic as part of the global One Billion Rising movement, this year under the theme “Solidarity Against the Exploitation of Women. Rise! Disrupt! Connect! (https://laborrights.z2systems.com/track//servlet/DisplayLink?orgId=laborrights&emailId=47b13e2723fb5668642241a962f3f9464m21697164 7b&secureId=OF4U7VVi3j%2BBxhTQ9CAikg%3D%3D&linkId=14016&targetUrl=http://www.onebillionrising.org/about/campaign/)” ILRF is joining with V-Day (https://laborrights.z2systems.com/track//servlet/DisplayLink?orgId=laborrights&emailId=47b13e2723fb5668642241a962f3f9464m21697164 7b&secureId=OF4U7VVi3j%2BBxhTQ9CAikg%3D%3D&linkId=14020&targetUrl=http://www.vday.org/spotlight2017.html#.WJoYZDsrJEa) and One Billion Rising in three weeks of actions in support of working women. Campaign actions kick off on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, and continue through International Women’s Day on March 8th. We hope you'll join us!

Did you know that of the 190 International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions, not a single one is focused on gender-based violence at work? In our activism over the next month, we will lift up the voices and demands of women workers who face sexual harassment, physical violence, poverty wages, and repression of the right to organize at work. We will join their call for a new ILO Convention to raise awareness and strengthen the laws that protect their safety at work. Can we count on you to join us?

Here are three things you can do right now:

“Like” the Facebook page for the campaign for an ILO Convention on gender-based violence in the world of work (https://laborrights.z2systems.com/track//servlet/DisplayLink?orgId=laborrights&emailId=47b13e2723fb5668642241a962f3f9464m21697164 7b&secureId=OF4U7VVi3j%2BBxhTQ9CAikg%3D%3D&linkId=14028&targetUrl=https://www.facebook.com/STOP-Gender-based-violence-in-the-world-of-work-support-an-ILO-Convention-1327970813888443/) and share a message of support on the page.

Why we won't put America first...


Chris,

The Trump/Pence regime is a dangerous threat to humanity. Yes, we spent eight years struggling mightily to stop the crimes of the Bush regime, and eight more working to stop the crimes against humanity the U.S. under Obama.

And now, everything they did to exercise U.S. domination over other peoples, using executive power, and the largest military in world history, has been handed to Donald Trump and Mike Pence. But this is not just a continuation. The Trump/Pence regime has a fascist program.

"Fascism foments and relies on xenophobic nationalism, racism, misogyny, and the aggressive re-institution of oppressive 'traditional values.' Fascism feeds on and encourages the threat and use of violence to build a movement and come to power. Fascism, once in power, essentially eliminates traditional democratic rights. Fascism attacks, jails, even executes its opponents, and launches violent mob attacks on minorities."

Resisting Trump/Pence:

David Swanson

No, Trump Did Not Make a Mistake in Yemen (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=W7rg4IxdvRw%2Fm%2BW4KELFj1NBae2LBnpt) "War is a crime. War is murder. Murder is a crime. What if Trump were articulate? What if he had the right damn intelligence, as Obama supposedly did during the past 8 years of murdering men, women, and children? If you bomb them from on high are they less murdered than if you do it from the ground? How many dead foreigners are worth one American?"

Sunsara Taylor:
Fascism on the March, Sharpening Crisis, and the Urgency to Act (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=r7nSKvYUC6pb6iVvJcBlf1NBae2LBnpt) "Resisting every attack by Trump-Pence is essential, but it alone will not be sufficient. The regime as a whole must be driven from power. This is what we must set our sights on...Unless and until we succeed in this, the Trump-Pence fascist regime will continue to barrel ahead with its fascist agenda, to trample the objections of the masses of people, to cut down any within the ruling structures who oppose them, to shred even the limited previously existing “checks and balances,” and to hammer into place a radically new world order and fascist form of governance in this country."

Andy Worthington:
Donald Trump Proposes to Keep Guantánamo Open, to Prevent Further Releases, and to Reintroduce Torture and “Black Sites” (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1qRuDJ12PHX4J5HzMd0DvFNBae2LBnpt) "...[O]ur worst fears on Guantánamo and torture were confirmed, when the New York Times (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=XZMnPODLkqdefgEa5dUBJhzcxXkrPNyZ) published a leaked draft executive order (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=BX63jWG6mYDuhLVKcKITJFNBae2LBnpt), “Detention and Interrogation of Enemy Combatants,” indicating that Donald Trump wants to keep Guantánamo open, wants to send new prisoners there, and wants to “suspend any existing transfer efforts pending a new review as to whether any such transfers are in the national security interests of the United States.” Trump also, it seems, wants to reinstate torture and the use of CIA “black sites.”

Why #Resist?

https://appboy-images.com/appboy/communication/assets/image_assets/images/5894b7e41b0e4d12bda9184f/original.?1486141412

Meetup has always served as an organizing platform for a wide range of political views, welcoming everyone from the Howard Deaniacs to the Tea Party. Meetup will always welcome people with different beliefs.

But after the recent executive order aimed to block people on the basis of nationality and religion, a line was crossed. At a time when core democratic ideals feel under attack, we feel a duty to spark more civic participation.

Last week, we created 1,000+ #Resist Meetup Groups to act as local hubs for actions on behalf of democracy, equality, human rights, social justice, and sustainability. Already 50,000+ people have joined.

These #Resist Meetups are open to anyone who want to create a bright future that's rich with opportunity and freedom for all.

Meetup exists to connect people so they create opportunity and make the world they want. We hope members take these Meetups forward to be powerful together.

CTA workers contract rally + women's march in Chicago - next Labor Beat on CAN TV 19, starts Feb. 16


A Two-Segment Show:

Chicago - CAN TV Channel 19

CTA Workers Contract Rally MLK Day 2017

Both Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) unions — ATU 241 and ATU 308 — are preparing to “take this to the wall” to get a proper contract, after about a year of working without one. This contract rally on Jan. 16, 2017, taking place on Chicago’s south side at the historic Mt Pisgah church, further revved up the energy and militancy that was shown last Dec. 21 at protests at the CTA HQ and 95th Street transit hub. Speaking and interviewed in video are: Carlos J. Acevedo (Financial Rec. Sec.-Treas., ATU 241); Kenneth Franklin (Pres./Bus. Agent, ATU 308); Leonard Morris (Ret. former Pres. of ATU 241); Elwood Flowers Sr (Ret. former Pres. ATU 241); Jonathan Jackson (Prof., College of Business, Chicago State University); Tommy Sams (Pres./Bus. Agent, ATU 241). Can also be viewed at: https://youtu.be/BU6oenzMa98

Second Segment:

Women’s March in Chicago

Among the historic marches throughout the U.S., the Chicago version of the Women’s March on January 21, 2017 (official count 250,000) ushered in a new era of activism. Sarah Chambers (Chicago Teachers Union Executive Board member and Special Education teacher) provides a running commentary interwoven with scenes and interviews. On the surface it was a protest against Trump’s inauguration. But the political content of the event pointed beyond that and beyond mainstream politics. Flexing its new muscles, this inchoate sea of resistance reached beyond women’s rights only. Can also be viewed at: https://youtu.be/WHwr4HGMtvs

From Day One

Within the first 24 hours of racist, sexist, proto-fascist Donald Trump's Presidency, the largest protests in US history erupted all over the country. In Washington D.C., thousands turned out to protest the inauguration, and unfathomable hundreds of thousands attended the Women's March on Washington the next day (as well as millions more all over the nation). Chicago teacher Michelle Gunderson says 500,000 in D.C. would be a conservative estimate (our Labor Beat reporter Andrew Friend, who could barely move while there, agrees!).

From Day One covers and analyzes these protests in the context of a new national resistance to austerity and attacks on minority and union rights. The old liberal pitfalls of electioneering for the Democratic Party, corporate feminism, and being out of touch with the intersections of gender, race, and class seem to hold less sway than before as millions analyze the way the DNC treated supporters of Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders and delivered the nation to Trump. And they are moving leftward.

Labor activists also comment on the dangers of the Right's anti-union agenda and how we can most effectively fight back as solidarity and rebellion sweeps the a nation steeped in the experiences of Occupy Wall Street, Black lives Matter, and Standing Rock. Length 27:58.

Clinic violence at a 20-year high


Chris, I wanted to make sure you saw the graphic we just released.

A shocking new report shows that violence at abortion clinics is at a 20-year high.1 More than one third of all abortion providers reported severe violence or threats of violence in the first half of 2016 alone.

Like too many other stories recently, this report got buried in a news cycle packed with Donald Trump's latest transgressions, but it's crucial that we help raise awareness of these statistics to bring more attention to the problem.

Will you share our infographic on Facebook to help educate your friends and family about clinic violence? (https://actnow.prochoiceamerica.org/go/2196?t=1&akid=2270.462514.RhmBNb)

https://s3.amazonaws.com/aktest-2011/images/anti_abortion_violence_facebook_share_graphic.png (https://actnow.prochoiceamerica.org/go/2196?t=2&akid=2270.462514.RhmBNb)

(Not on Facebook? Forward this email to five friends to make sure they see our important graphic and learn this information.)

Abortion providers, clinic workers, and clinic escorts have dedicated their lives to ensuring people get the health care they need without judgement, shame, or stigma.

And while these attacks are nothing new , they are part of a very long history of violence from an extreme minority, and the cycle is repeating itself. It was eight years ago that Dr. George Tiller was gunned down in the pews of his church for providing abortion care.

Highly charged, false, and misleading anti-choice rhetoric leads to a climate where violence against abortion providers is tacitly condoned and passively encouraged. The violent rhetoric of the Trump campaign and administration, combined with Trump's anti-choice ideology, can have a tangible impact on clinics and providers around the country.

Share our graphic on Facebook to help us spread awareness about clinic violence and the violent rhetoric that supports it. (https://actnow.prochoiceamerica.org/go/2196?t=3&akid=2270.462514.RhmBNb)
