DROP THE CHARGES ON
NOCHE DIAZ AND LEO PARGO!
As Trump targets Chicago for mass deportations, CPD outrageously arrest Revcoms for leading a crowd to chant “In the name of humanity, we refuse a fascist America!”

Noche Diaz is a national spokesperson for the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity

Leo Pargo is a leader of the Revcom Corps in Chicago

JOIN US: 8am Wednesday March 12 at 727 111th St. (outside the court Branch 35-2) for a rally and press conference to demand "Drop the Charges on Noche Diaz and Leo Pargo!"

On February 1, Noche Diaz and Leo Pargo were part of an emergency protest called by the Revcom Corps, which converged with another protest of mainly Latino youth against the ICE raids being launched by Trump. Together, hundreds of people marched through downtown Chicago to protest mass deportations and the whole Trump/MAGA fascist program.

Right in front of Trump Tower, Noche Diaz spoke from atop a bus stop and led the crowd to chant: “NO! In the name of humanity, we refuse a fascist America! Into the streets, day after day. Do not stop. Make this country ungovernable!”

A swarm of Chicago police, including a Deputy Chief, violently pushed into the crowd, endangering many protesters, and illegitimately arrested Noche and Leo.

The two have since been released and face Class A misdemeanor charges, the most severe type in Illinois law. Noche is charged with Reckless Conduct and Leo is charged with Obstructing an officer. Both charges carry up to 364 days in jail and a $2,500 fine. As shown in the video, these charges are ridiculous and illegitimate. This is a straight up violation of basic First Amendment rights.

Since Trump’s inauguration, people have been hit with a fascist whirlwind of government purges, attacks on immigrants and trans people, anti-scientific lunacy, and destruction of rule of law itself. There are beginnings of important resistance, but this is nowhere near enough! Noche and Leo not only had a legal right to do what they did, THEY WERE RIGHT! They are doing what everyone needs to be doing right now.

Inspired by the message from the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian that “This is not a time for demoralization and despair—it is a time for righteous anger and revolutionary determination,” they told the truth, acted with courage, and inspired others to do the same.

Everyone who values the right to free speech, and doesn’t want to see people brutally arrested for exercising that right, should demand: DROP THE CHARGES!

Everyone who is outraged about the terror being inflicted on immigrants, and the fact this supposed “sanctuary city” is prosecuting protesters who stand up for immigrants, should demand: DROP THE CHARGES!

 

Everyone who recognizes the grave danger we are facing with Trump/MAGA fascism, and the importance of mobilizing millions to defeat this, should demand: DROP THE CHARGES!

Everyone who recognizes that there’s something fundamentally rotten about the current system and appreciates the work of these revolutionary leaders fighting for a positive way forward — and doesn’t want to see them targeted and suppressed — should demand: DROP THE CHARGES!

A Call from Refuse Fascism:  >>> Find/Host an Event! <<< What we face is FASCISM consolidating its rule in the most powerful country in the world. It echoes the Confederacy, Jim Crow, and Nazi Germany, but there is no historical precedent for fascism dominating the world with the climate at a tipping point and nuclear-armed powers at each other’s throats. The Trump Regime threatens the very future of humanity and life on the planet. It must be STOPPED! Defeating Trump and MAGA fascism will require a huge and relentless resistance waged by millions of people standing up in the streets and throughout society to create such a profound political crisis that Trump cannot govern the country and carry out his fascist program. This will require sacrifice. It will require courage and heroism in the streets and by people in government, in hospitals, in schools, and really by all who Trump tries to order and intimidate into following his dictates. There is not a moment to lose. History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late. If we act now, there is a future to win. The breakneck speed and cruelty of the regime’s actions shock the conscience. Immigrants demonized and rounded up. Blatant racism and anti-women, anti-LGBTQ+ hate spews forth. Civil rights and even speaking of equality are banned. Whole countries are threatened. Anti-science lunatics are empowered to destroy health care. Media muzzled. Theocracy and Christian fundamentalist supremacy being hammered into place. Rapid Climate destruction is Trump’s program. Fascism changes the way the country is ruled. Fascism eliminates basic civil and democratic rights. Openly oppressive and repressive, fascism rules by decree, backed up by brute force and violent thugs. Fascism has direction and momentum. Dissent is criminalized. The truth is bludgeoned. Group after group is targeted along a trajectory that leads to horror. It is necessary, but not enough, to fight each attack as it comes. We must take the offensive against the whole Trump/MAGA program and direction. The Democratic Party will not stop this nightmare. Even after some Democratic Party leaders correctly called Trump a fascist before the election, now they tell you to accept his fascism in the name of “democracy.” NO! There can be no reconciliation with fascism except on the terms of the fascists. This Presidents Day, Monday February 17, Refuse Fascism calls on every person and group who refuses to be complicit in a fascist America to take to the streets wherever you are. Start your own protest (no experience necessary), or join diverse protests already called, but come together, uniting all who can be united to spread resistance throughout cities and towns, raising the slogan and declaring to the world: “NO! In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!”   The Bob Avakian Interviews, 2025 Click the image to watch the excerpt: Bob Avakian speaks about the two slogans: In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!

From the Campaign to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Everywhere Donate to Raise $10,000 by Feb 10 to Get Bob Avakian’s New Year Message to Millions of People. Just before Trump took power, Bob Avakian released this important message: 2025: A New Year—Profound New Challenges—And A Profoundly Positive Way Forward In the Face of Very Real Horror. Have you listened to it yet?  This message opens with this truth: Trump 2025 is not just another administration coming into office. This is fascism: the undisguised dictatorship of this system of capitalism-imperialism in the world’s most powerful capitalist-imperialist country... With Trump's "shock and awe" approach, this has been borne out. This has shaken millions to their core but there is widespread panic and paralysis. Right now, urgently, what people do and don't do depends on what they understand. >> Because of this need, we are raising $10,000 by Monday, February 10 to get this New Year's message in front of millions—through online advertising, posters and stickers. Donate all you can, now, to put this message before many people, to intrigue and provoke serious people looking for serious answers. In a time of disorientation and despair, and in a time when many are looking for a meaningful way to fight all this—people need to hear the concrete, visionary and hopeful leadership Bob Avakian is providing in this message. They need to hear why we're in the situation we're in, and what to do about it.  What is fascism? Where did this fascism come from? Why are there millions who support it? Can it be defeated? What is the nature of this system that's given rise to this nightmare and so many other atrocities? Do we have a chance at a future—not just for ourselves, but for humanity? In a moment of existential danger and positive possibility, what's worth putting it all on the line for? Bob Avakian (BA)—the revolutionary leader and architect of the new communism—is answering these questions, and much more, in this New Year's message.  This was followed up last week with an excerpt from an Interview with Bob Avakian that was recently conducted by Sunsara Taylor. Watch this HERE. This is what people need to encounter, and raise their sights to—widely throughout society. From BA’s message: We are now at the point where it is more and more urgently necessary to move beyond this whole monstrous system—beyond a situation where people are forced to struggle just for individual survival, with everyone compelled to be in competition and conflict with others, and the masses of people everywhere are chained down by outmoded oppressive relations, while the future, and the very existence, of humanity is increasingly endangered. And it is possible now to move beyond all this. To help spread this message:  ** DONATE ** Share this on your social media feed. ** Gather a group of friends to watch together. Every dollar you give introduces more people to the profound hope Bob Avakian provides in meeting these profound challenges for humanity. Watch an important message from Bob Avakian:

**STARTING TODAY** the REVCOM CORPS for the EMANCIPATION OF HUMANITY has called for a Week of Action: January 26–February 1 —Into the streets! GATHER! RALLY! MARCH! Then nationwide protests on Saturday, Feb. 1   IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA! THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS ROTTEN & ILLEGITIMATE— WE NEED AND WE DEMAND: A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE, A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM! *** Follow: @BobAvakianOfficial Follow: @TheRevcoms Read: revcom.us Watch: YouTube.com/TheRevcoms

A Call from THE REVCOM CORPS For The Emancipation Of Humanity: ALERT: OPPOSE ICE RAIDS AND ROUNDUPS BEGINNING IN CHICAGO NOON January 21st Gather at the Arch in Little Village, 3100 W. 26th St., Chicago, to stand with our immigrant neighbors to say with determination: In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America! NO Mass Deportations! Todos Somos Ilegales! Tom Homan is not welcome in Chicago!   Bring your family, friends, neighbors and your anger and determination. Bring signs and noisemakers. Share this call to action everywhere! Contact @RevcomCorpsChi to add your group’s name. The day after Donald Trump’s inauguration, Tom "Put Kids in Cages" Homan, Trump’s border Czar, says he will be in Chicago to launch the MAGA fascists’ mass deportation of immigrants. The Trump/MAGA fascists want to make an example out of this sanctuary city: to break the resolve of decent people who would consider opposing them; to break legal protections and open the way for more massive roundups; and to serve as a battering ram for a fuller fascist offensive. We call on all decent and justice-loving people to join with us in making a different example of this city: Of people finding their courage in righteous, fierce opposition to these deportations, and aiming to move millions in collective action to make it so Trump cannot govern the country and implement his fascist program.
