Saturday  JUNE 14:  TRUMP’S MILITARY PARADE MUST BE OPPOSED! DEMONSTRATE in Washington, D.C, and All Over the Country to say: The TRUMP FASCIST REGIME MUST GO NOW!  🔴  JOIN the protest in Washington DC Saturday June 14 1:00 pm Logan Circle MARCH to the White House or Host a Trump MUST GO NOW protest where you are for No Kings Day Right now, we are being ruled by a fascist regime. It is rapidly moving to cement into place a fascist America. This fascism must be defeated. The regime must be driven from power through nonviolent but relentless protest of millions BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO LATE. Right now, we must act. On Saturday June 14, Trump’s birthday, he has called a military parade in Washington, D.C. This is a major move to create an army loyal not to the rule of law, but to Trump personally – with all the racism, misogyny and MAGA “America First” hate this involves. On this day, in Washington, D.C. and in protests across the country, our voices must ring out: In the NAME of HUMANITY, WE REFUSE to ACCEPT a FASCIST AMERICA! Yes, it really is this urgent. The truth is this: it can become too late. Each day sees new outrages against the rule of law, new threats against Trump's “enemies.” Immigrants snatched out of cars while their children wail in terror… trans people vilified… universities bludgeoned… judges and politicians threatened and arrested... law firms blackmailed. Meanwhile, Trump bullies the world. The TRUMP FASCIST REGIME MUST GO NOW Reaction, revenge and hypocrisy saturate society. The hard-won rights and respect that people shed blood for are ridiculed and reversed. MAGA leaders give Nazi salutes, while the regime slanders protestors against genocide in Gaza as “anti-Semitic.” The Big Lie is on steroids. Truth is whatever the fascist regime says it is. Cruelty, corruption and spectacle are glorified while human decency is mocked. This fascism has deadly momentum and focused intent. Waiting for the 2026 elections banks on illusion at a time when illusions are the deadliest narcotic of all. The situation demands of us “the fierce urgency of NOW.” Trump’s June 14 Military Parade is designed to send a message of intimidation and fear here and around the world. It Must Be Opposed! Already, Trump is moving to eradicate any mention of racial or gender discrimination within the military, declaring at West Point: “All of its ended… you do not have to think about it anymore.” Already, Trump purged the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Black and female members. Already, military bases are renamed to honor pro-slavery Confederates. Trump aims to Nazify the military. In Trump’s first term, he spoke of using “nukes” overseas and ordering the military to shoot protestors at home—but others in his administration opposed him. Now there is nobody within this administration to oppose Trump. It falls to us. In the early afternoon of June 14, RefuseFascism.org calls on you to join with us and others in a non-violent march to the White House. Let us show the world that we will not shrink from our responsibility to act in the name of humanity. We refuse to accept a fascist America. The capital must not be ceded to Trump’s fascist parade. Our protest is an urgent call to all: Standing aside, accommodating, or appeasing a fascist regime is the road to great horrors. This must be a time of courage and determination. Refuse Fascism calls on people everywhere to join with the No Kings Day Protests across the country and raise this same simple, powerful and true message:  TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

Rally & Protest
Trump Fascist Regime Must Go NOW!
Saturday, May 17, 2 pm
Federal Plaza

230 South Dearborn, Chicago
Bring friends and noisemakers!

RSVP here and invite everyone you know who's distraught about the grift and cruelty and attacks on our most basic rights.

Find or host a protest near you!

A judge indicted, a mayor arrested, three members of Congress threatened with criminal charges. Why? All sought to exercise their responsibilities to ensure due process of law for everyone and accountability for ICE. This is fascism.

 

What are our responsibilities? To come together, with courage and conviction, around one unifying demand: the fascist Trump regime must go NOW!

Just one of the great lineup of speakers at our rally will be Rachel Cohen speaking about the danger of denying due process to all. Rachel is the former associate at Skadden Arps who resigned when the firm capitulated to Trump's bullying. You may have seen her interviewed on PBS Newshour, CNN, or MSNBC. She now advocates for law students and lawyers to interview only with firms that commit to not collaborating with this regime's destruction of the rule of law.

 

Share this email, call your friends. We have no time to waste expanding the movement to stop Trump!

Tomorrow, Thursday May 15: Refuse Fascism DC will be protesting at the Supreme Court as arguments are heard in the case to overturn birthright citizenship, a right anchored in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

 

And please donate whatever you can to help cover the substantial costs of this rally and our national organizing. Thank you

We all feel it – the atrocities are relentless. Another right snatched away. Someone else disappeared. Due process shredded. Law firms targeted. Universities threatened. Books banned. Immigrants shipped to overseas forever-prisons. Trump promises to disappear “home-growns” (US citizens) next. Trans people banned from the military. It feels impossible to keep up. We cannot win by chasing each attack as it comes, overwhelmed and outmatched by the vicious speed of Trump’s fascist regime. Nor can we wait until 2026 or 2028. But there is a way to win – a way to defeat this fascist juggernaut. It is time to come together to take the offense against the whole damn thing — infusing “TRUMP MUST GO NOW! into all the resistance movements forging a mighty force to stop the regime from carrying out its horrific fascist assault on people here and around the world. On the back of this flyer, the Call to Conscience/Call to Act breaks down the strategy to oust this regime through mass, sustained, nonviolent protest and resistance. Read it. Sign it at RefuseFascism.org/act. Spread it to others. Then, On May 17, join with others across this country to make a big leap in projecting this demand – Trump Must Go Now! – to the tens of millions who are heartsick and furious about all Trump is doing. Let them see there is a movement for them to join with a real strategy to win. Keep raising this demand all summer long, including at the nationwide protests called for June 14, “No Kings Day”! If we act with courage and heart, if we unite all who can be united from diverse political perspectives, we have the numbers and the power to reclaim the future.
