Look at what has happened this month: Trump has been impeached and faces a  Senate trial over removal, widening divides throughout society. Trump committed a brazen war crime by assassinating a high ranking official of Iran, threatening more. He reminds the world that a dangerous bully heading a fascist regime has an itchy Twitter-finger on the nuclear button. The danger of all-out war remains even as Trump’s sanctions intensify the suffering of the Iranian people.
The #OutNOW movement joined with those protests and organized weekly rallies and marches demanding Trump/Pence #OutNOW. We counter-protested the misogynist "March for Life" [sic] and mobilized to bring the #OutNOW demand into the protest when Trump brought another of his Nuremberg hate rallies to Milwaukee. This past weekend we joined the Women's March in Chicago and afterwards led a spirited march to Trump Tower that gave expression to the real hatred of women and men for all the crimes of this fascist regime and the #OutNOW demand. Now we are raising funds to support and send more volunteers to DC in the midst of a crucial moment as Trump faces a trial in the Senate, only the third president to do so.
 All of these marches and rallies are absolutely vital - and not nearly enough. We will take stock of what we've accomplished, what we've run up against. and most of all what we can do to unleash anger into a powerful, persistent force in the streets, overcoming the normalization of fascism and turning dread for the future into hope.
Everyone who wants to see Trump & Pence #OUTNOW is welcome to join us at this open meeting. Bring your thinking & creativity as we work together on how to get the millions who oppose the Trump/Pence Regime into the streets to drive it out. |
