Refuse Fascism:
Driving the Trump Regime from Power

Trump/Pence Regime is a fascist regime.  The whole thing. Trump’s extreme woman-hating and attacks on abortion rights, his racist backing of even more violent and aggressive policing,  his supremacist cabinet members, his nuclear threats and $50+ billion increase to the budget.  Every cabinet post, every executive order, every tweet is a link in the chain of a fascist government and worldview under the vengeful signboard of “America First.”  Every immigrant family ripped apart, every refugee turned back to war-torn countries, every pipeline approved, every river despoiled, every denial of proven science, of established facts, off truth itself is killing people now and will cost millions more lives. This is poison to air, water, the earth, and to the conscience of the world.

Millions of people abhor this, and there is righteous resistance. But, stopping the dire threat that the Trump/Pence regime poses to humanity means recognizing and acting on the understanding that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late.

Fascism is not just a gross combination of horrific reactionary policies. It is a qualitative change in how society is governed. It is crucial to understand that fascism, once consolidated, essentially eliminates traditional democratic rights. Even if we push back this or that measure, this regime will repeatedly launch new and highly repressive measures, eventually clamping down on all resistance and remaking the law – IF THEY ARE NOT DRIVEN FROM POWER.

The March for Science, April 22; the People’s Climate March, April 29 and the “Day Without Immigrants”, May 1: Ten days that can and must become a leap in a movement to drive this fascist regime from office.  The stakes could not be higher.

Bruce Neuburger: Former farm worker and cab driver, recently retired teacher with a long term commitment to social justice and a firm belief that capitalism does not represent the pinnacle of human potential.  Bruce will be accompanied by a local leader in the organization, Refuse Fascism.

Time will be allotted for Q&A, discussion and announcements.
