We are at a serious crossroad. A fierce struggle for the future is underway. The powerful uprising for Black lives and for an end to police terror has shaken the country, terrifying the powers-that-be. Now the fascist Trump is threatening to take over cities where (according to Trump) Democratic Governors and Mayors are not bringing down enough violence on the people to crush this rebellion.
dying on the streets of Chicago: The time is NOW to raise your sights above the degradation and madness, above the dog eat dog individual struggle to survive and “be somebody” on the terms of this murdering system. As Noche Diaz, a leader of the National Get Organized for an ACTUAL Revolution Tour who spent several years building the movement for revolution in Chicago said:

Protest the Federal Crackdown on Portland!
**WEAR A MASK and PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING!**
-----------------------------------------------
targeting those who dare to defy this regime and Democratic-run cities with large populations of Black people.In the United States the federal government now commands rapid deployment forces that can be sent to suppress protest or take over as “law enforcement” for any reason the regime deems necessary. They are deployed and commanded by a fascist lunatic, heading into an election. If NOW isn’t the time to be in the streets nonviolently demanding the immediate ouster of this regime, when IS?
In Portland these agents rolled up in unmarked vans, dressed in camouflage with no identifying insignia, arrested people without telling them where they were going or why they were being taken into custody, deployed tear gas, and shot one non-violent protester in the face.
This is what Trump is expanding through the Department of Justice’s Operation Legend and Homeland Security’s Protecting America Communities Taskforce (PACT). Trump and Barr have accused the uprising for Black Lives and Sanctuary cities for the recent surge in murders, to justify sending his paramilitary nationwide - immediately to Kansas City, Chicago, and Albuquerque followed by Detroit, Baltimore, and Milwaukee. He has also threatened New York City, Philadelphia, and Oakland.
Further terrorizing Black youth is a focal point of this effort. Trump has demonized Black youth for
decades, calling for the execution of the Central Park 5 – 5 Black and brown youth railroaded into a conviction and later exonerated. Even after exoneration Trump continues to say that they should be in jail. In the midst of the current historic upsurge to hold police to account for murder, brutality and criminalization shaking loose local concessions, the Trump/Pence Regime seeks to reassert violent white supremacy and exact revenge on those who rose up.This is a dress rehearsal for full-out militarized fascist police state, NOT political theater. It is a dangerous advance from a regime that has declared their determination to crush the opposition and hammer in their rule by terror and brute force.
America is at a serious crossroads. A fierce struggle for the future is underway. Camouflaged agents that look virtually indistinguishable from right-wing militias, free to kidnap and detain anyone at their will, is a horror that must be stopped now.
Fascism has direction and momentum. Dissent is piece by piece criminalized. The truth is bludgeoned. Group after group is demonized and targeted along a trajectory that leads to real horrors. All of this has taken dramatic leaps under the Trump Regime. History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late. If we lose the right to protest – by legal or extralegal means – all bets are off.
Trump is not “losing an election.” He is setting the stage to declare any outcome other than his victory illegitimate, backed up by a GOP willing to rig elections and the violence of the “police, military, and bikers for Trump” to attack and suppress any opposition to their program. Waiting for November to remove Trump is like waiting for rain when a house is on fire.
As Trump unleashes his secret police, what will you do? Will you accept a fascist America? Will you stand aside hoping that politics as usual will remove a regime that is subverting elections and using the military to crush dissent and further terrorize Black people? Or will you join us in the streets and stay in the streets to demand Trump Pence Out Now!
Dangerous regimes all over the world have been driven out by the people in sustained, non-violent protest demanding the removal of the regime and refusing to go home until their demand is met. To stop an American fascism that threatens the very future of humanity and the planet, the necessary demand is Trump Pence Out Now! We must not stop until our demand is won.
This nightmare must end:
The Trump/Pence regime must go NOW
In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America
DONATE TO STOP TRUMP / PENCE

Trump/Pence Must Go Now - Chicago Protest July 4
Today at 2 PM – 5 PM
Logan Square
America is at a serious crossroads. A fierce struggle for the future is underway.
Trump is campaigning on openly celebrating and defending the Confederacy, with a clear message that he will unleash the violence of the police and military and his heavily armed MAGA shock troops against the movement for Black Lives.
He threatens to toss aside the 1st Amendment to jail those who burn the flag, a constitutionally protected act of free speech.
He has demeaned mayors of Chicago and Seattle while threatening to send in federal forces “to clean up” their cities; He has doubled down on his anti-immigrant rants and program.
In the midst of skyrocketing deaths from COVID-19, the Trump/Pence regime petitioned the Supreme Court to strike down Obamacare. In his press briefing, Pence urged Americans to pray but did not once urge them to wear masks. The regime has the blood of tens of thousands on its hands who have perished due to the regime’s science-hating, genocidal dismissal of a global pandemic.
This is just in the past week. Stop and think if you can live with all this. The lives of countless more here and around the world are under threat.
Trump is not losing an election. He is setting the stage to declare any outcome other than his victory illegitimate, backed up by a GOP willing to rig elections and the violence of the “police, military, and bikers for Trump.” He is declaring his determination to prevail.
The people on the side of humanity must be equally determined to prevail. On July 4th and in the coming weeks, we must take to the streets in growing numbers to demand: The Trump/Pence Regime Must GO!
Should we fail to take to the streets and stay to win, do not for a second think that the fascist agenda of the Trump/Pence regime could not become the law of the land. But the last four weeks of sustained protest has also shown us that another future is possible – if the demand that Trump and Pence must go now becomes a part of the great rising in the streets against police murder of Black people. Without going all the way to driving out the Trump/Pence regime, the movement for Black lives and every struggle for justice will be crushed.
On this July 4, take to heart the words of the escaped slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass: If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. …Power concedes nothing without a demand.
Genocide, slavery, the Confederacy, Jim Crow … virulent white supremacy, misogyny, and xenophobia … an American empire that has invaded, subjugated, bombed and occupied countries around the world.
This is the history and these are the values of Make America Great Again, hell-bent on exacting revenge
against the liberation movements of the 1960s and the hard-won social progress of the last 50 years – social progress that was only made possible by people courageously taking to the streets and refusing to back down.
The upsurge of struggle for Black Lives matters a great deal. It must continue to broaden and deepen its determination to win, which includes acting on the recognition that an avowed white supremacist regime poses a mortal threat to Black people and must be driven from power. Refuse Fascism, since its founding has recognized and struggled for the understanding that at the core of the fascist regime is white supremacy. Along with hatred of immigrants and women and differently gendered people, these form a triad of the fascist program that must be opposed.
At this crossroads, what will you do? Will you continue to accept a fascist America? Will you listen to those who urge waiting until November for an election that may not come, or working within the normal channels that are being shredded by a regime that sees this as their last chance to consolidate power. Or will you seize on our power in the streets and raise the demand Trump/Pence Out Now? Dangerous regimes all over the world are driven out by the people in sustained, non-violent protest demanding the removal of the regime and refusing to go home until their demand is met.
To stop an American fascism that threatens the very future of humanity and the planet, the necessary demand is Trump Pence Out Now! This is a moment to seize. Let us change the course of history, not for ourselves alone but for all humanity.
This nightmare must end.
The Trump/Pence regime must go.
TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!
