This is SO timely! Hundreds of thousands of people from El Salvador & Haiti who’ve been here for many years just had their protected status removed, ICE raided more than ninety 7 Eleven stores around the country, this morning the Secretary of DHS publicly bragged about surveilling everyone who isn’t a citizen, and the Dreamers’ future is at stake and may be decided as early as Friday. The reality of this fascist regime’s full-out assault on immigrants is horrifying many people. We must face the fact that our best intentions will not protect the millions of people living under this terror as long as this fascist regime holds the reins of power. They must be is driven out by all of us, voting with our feet in the streets, in growing non-violent and determined protest. Let’s join this important rally, bring friends, and bring that message to the hundreds of people who will be coming together to defend immigrants!

A year into this nightmare, who doesn’t wish we were starting 2018 without Trump and Pence in the White House?! This regime has bounced back from crisis after crisis, withstood protests, petitions, and legal challenges, and a potentially damning investigation. But they haven’t faced the challenge that could actually Stop Fascism in its Tracks and Drive Out the Whole Regime. They haven’t yet faced a critical mass of people in the streets day after day declaring them illegitimate and demanding their removal. Read “The Crisis They Haven’t Faced Yet” and join us at the Women’s March this Saturday to take that message out to thousands and bring many more into the movement to mount such a challenge. There is a world of possibility in the word “yet.”
On Saturday, we will gather at 9:30 am just east of the Horse statue at Michigan & Congress, where we’ll greet thousands of people coming to celebrate and strengthen resistance to this murderous regime. We’ll invite people to take stock of just how far along the consolidation of fascism has advanced and to join our contingent on the spot. Around 10:45 am, we’ll march together to the main rally on Columbus Drive with banners and picket signs. We’ll have a Handmaid’s Tale contingent to underscore the ugly theocracy that IS the program of this uniquely Christian fascist regime. Let us know if you want to wear the red cape and white bonnet!
