NOTE NEW TIME AND LOCATION:
Sunday, June 28, NOON
Meet at Belmont Stop on the Red & Brown Lines, ChicagoFacebook event for Refuse Fascism contingent - please join, invite & share!
In light of the cancellation of the "Black Trans Lives Matter - BLM Pride Protest," we will march in the "Pride Without Prejudice" March, and we urge EVERYONE to join us there. We are at a crossroads. A beautiful uprising for justice has shaken this country in ways not seen in decades. It's on all of us to strengthen, defend & expand it, in the interests of humanity.
We are living under a white supremacist, anti-LGBTQ, fascist regime that pursues ethnic cleansing against immigrants and is literally a threat to Black lives, trans lives, civil rights and the planet itself. Once again during his KKKampaign speech in Tulsa last week, Trump called out his "Second Amendment" followers to deal with the beautiful uprising that has put his regime on the defensive for the first time in 3 years. And in the face of a setback at the Supreme Court last week, he still vows to do away with the DACA program. Every struggle for justice is at serious risk as long as this fascist regime holds power, and if they are allowed to consolidate their grip, every struggle for justice will be set back decades.
Now is the time for everyone struggling for justice to come together and add the unifying demand: Trump & Pence #OutNOW! We can't wait for November, as Sarah Rourke of the RefuseFascism.org Editorial Board so cogently argues. Only people power can remove a fascist regime. To do that, we must keep our eye on the prize and not "allow ruling forces, or any forces, to divide us and pit us against each other," as Refuse Fascism stated three years ago. All of us must reach out broadly to UNITE ALL WHO CAN BE UNITED around our one mission: to drive out this fascist regime, in the name of humanity. These are the times that have brought regimes down in country after country. Let's come together to do that here!
