Here's the email from that went out to several thousand RF Chicago supporters yesterday. Please share it with friends, add your own invitation, and ask them to share!
To everyone who was in the streets on -- or inspired by -- the protests on September 5 to launch 60 days of struggle to drive out the Trump/Pence regime, welcome! We have begun a tremendous effort to stop a disaster-in-the-making. Trump is daily escalating his racism and lies, cheering vigilante bloodshed, and refusing in advance to be bound by an electoral loss. Tens of thousands pack his rallies, violently caravan through the streets, and prepare to intimidate Black, Latino, and Native American voters on November 3rd.
You are needed now to mobilize people – if we wait for them to steal, cancel, sabotage, or even win the election, it could be too late!
Sept 16, Wednesday *
Federal Plaza, 219 S. Dearborn, Chicago
We will gather at 3 pm, rally at 4 pm, and follow with a march to
Indict Trump for Inciting and Defending Murders by Fascist Mobs,
and Commemorate the Fallen.
DRIVE OUT THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME!
(Masks required, we will maintain physical distance)
Trump's people – with direct encouragement from Trump – have attacked
protesters, run them down with cars, and murdered them in the streets! They aim to terrorize us into silence. On September 16, we declare: "For every one you kill or maim, 100 will rise in their place, fiercely determined not to stop until the fascist Trump/Pence regime is out and its program halted!"We recommend "Fourteen Martyrs in the Struggle against Racist Terror and Trumpism-Fascism" by Paul Street in CounterPunch.
Find the Call and RSVP for this protest here, and send your own email invitations. Join, invite & share the Facebook event, for those on FB.
Co-sponsored by Refuse Fascism Chicago Chapter, Degenerate Artists Against Fascism, No More Foundation, Black Lives Matter of Lake County IL, Revolution Club Chicago.
Save the date:
Monday, Sept. 21
MARCH AGAINST DEATH, LIES, AND FASCISM AND FOR HUMANITY! TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!
(Time & place to be determined.)
This date will fall right around the time that the death toll from COVID19 passes 200,000 in this country. How many of those lives could have been saved if we were not living under an anti-science death cult, suppressing the truth, founded on white supremacy, with complete disregard for Black, brown, and immigrant people? And how long will we wait to stop them?
Coco Das, Editorial Board of Refuse Fascism, writes in Millions Are Sitting on Damning Information. Time to Get Up and Fight, "This week, legendary Watergate journalist Bob Woodward released a recorded conversation in which Trump confessed that he deliberately played down the danger of COVID-19 to 'not cause a panic.' This is rich coming from a fascist lunatic whose whole rise to power has been built on stoking white supremacist panic against immigrants, Black people, protesters, Antifa, Democrats, and anything that stands in the way of their fascist America. The Woodward tapes have re-awakened outrage that at least tens of thousands of the 190,000 people who have died so far from COVID-19 could have been saved with a science-based policy to control the pandemic."It’s valid to question the ethics of Woodward sitting on this information since February. We don’t know what might have changed if people had definitive proof that his policies were not based on ignorance but deliberate political calculations. But to those who have directed all their vitriol against Woodward, barely mentioning Trump in their diatribes or worse: excusing Trump because 'we all know he lies anyway,' I have news for you. You now are also sitting on this information, and if you’re still not demanding Trump’s immediate removal from power and joining with people who are in the streets voicing their refusal to go along with this vicious murderous program, after 190,000 people have already died, you need to stop pointing your finger at Woodward and look in the mirror..."

This speech made by Sunsara Taylor on Sept 5 powerfully makes the case for what we are undertaking this month and next:
