Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights Launches
Upcoming events
In a bleak landscape of quiet despair and open capitulation, resounding determination to Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights burst on the scene last Saturday, at the Supreme Court, on the anniversary of the Roe decision that decriminalized abortion. And Refuse Fascism was part of the kick off. Watch videos of key speeches, check out media coverage, and see how our people stood their ground against fascist thugs, and be inspired to sign the statement and join this movement!
First National Organizing Meeting to Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights
Register now for the first national organizing meeting, this Sunday, January 30, at 1 pm CST. Wherever you are, whatever skills or time you have, if you refuse to let the Supreme Court deny women's rights and decimate their humanity, you are invited, you're needed, and you will be vital to this goal. Every. single. person. matters!
Defend Roe! Teach-in
Here in the Chicago area, our chapter of Refuse Fascism co-sponsored a virtual teach-in initiated by Chicago for Abortion Rights to mark the anniversary of Roe by confronting the dire status of abortion access right now, what is means to "Defend Roe!" and what it will take to do that.
Speakers included Dr. Barbara Roberts, physician and abortion rights activists, Derenda Hancock of the Pinkhouse Defenders of the Jackson Women's Health Organization, and more. We highly recommend the video on the website of Haymarket Books, also one of the event's co-sponsors.Monday Jan 31 Virtual Discussion:
Kathryn Joyce: The Ideology of Benevolent Theocracy This week on the Refuse Fascism podcast, Sam Goldman interviews author and investigative reporter Kathryn Joyce on the power of ideology in the fascist movement; especially how and why Hungary is a model for the GOP. Listen to their discussion (or read the transcript), read Kathryn's latest piece for Salon, "Parental rights' started on the Christian fringe, now it's the GOP's winning issue," and join us Monday, January 31 at 7 pm for a virtual discussion. Just email us for the zoom link.
January 27 is Holocaust Remembrance Day What does Holocaust Remembrance Day mean when "Never Again" is now? Fascist mobs are threatening school boards and teachers, librarians, election officials, nurses and
public health officials, and meeting far too little resistance. This is not just happening in some "deep red" state but right here. Last Sunday in Highland Park, anti-science, anti-mask, anti-vax MAGA thugs protested mandatory compliance with public health mandates by comparing it to the Holocaust. We are proud and inspired by the people who stood up to them, greatly outnumbered, and hope you will be too, and join us in refusing to accept a fascist America in the name of humanity. Please watch and share their video.
