Organizing Meeting in LA
NO! We REFUSE To Accept A Fascist America!
Echo Park United Methodist Church
1226 N Alvarado St. (near Sunset Blvd.), LA 90026
Imagine if people, in the tens of millions, filled the streets, powerfully declaring that this regime is illegitimate and demanding that it not be allowed to rule! The whole political landscape would be dramatically transformed, every faction within the established power structure would be forced to respond - and all this could well lead to a situation in which this fascist regime is actually prevented from ruling. This is not some idle dream but something which could be made a reality if all those who hate what is represented by this fascist regime translate their outrage into firm determination and massive mobilization to create the conditions which make this possible.
From a
Month of Massive Resistance to Stop This Fascism
The Plan:
Saturday December 31 - New Years Eve: political demonstrations and manifestations at Trump properties in U.S. around the world; see flyer below.
Mon & Tues Jan 2 & 3: wave of publishing the Call to Action as a sign-on ad in major newspapers. $100,000 needed!
Sat - Mon Jan 14-16: Martin Luther King Weekend actions. We highlight & raise determined opposition to the white supremacist, American chauvinist, religiously bigoted character of this fascist movement and regime. We draw forward everything thus far built and build further. People begin coming to DC, and occupying in LA and other cities.
Tues-Thurs Jan 17-18-19: fill the streets of DC with millions! Millions more demonstrate in every major city and small town all over US and the world, demanding that Trump-Pence be prevented from taking office before January 20.
