Refuse Fascism Activists on Trial

Get the full story:

Twelve supporters of Refuse Fascism face criminal charges and up to seven years in prison for nonviolent political protest.
Their cases which have yet to come to trial reveal a continuing pattern of coordinated governmental political surveillance, targeting, and persecution against Refuse Fascism.
The political demand to Stop the Persecution and Drop the Charges Against Refuse Fascism Activists is part and parcel of the fight to stop the danger that the Trump/Pence regime presents to humanity.
Weeks before the Trump/Pence regime was sworn into power in 2017, RefuseFascism.org launched a national movement with the declaration: In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America! RefuseFascism.org continues to stand out for recognizing that:
“Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ is a 21st century fascist program of Manifest Destiny—‘America First’—wrapped in the flag and Mike Pence’s Bible taken literally, with a program of white supremacy, misogyny, and xenophobia.”

For over two years, RefuseFascism.org (RF) has worked tirelessly to arouse the millions in this country who hate and fear what this regime is doing to break out of politics-as-usual—organizing people and organizations from a diverse range of political views behind the single unifying demand: This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!
To accomplish this goal, which is necessary to prevent the further and full consolidation of a fascist form of rule, also requires breaking out of protest-as-usual—organizing a movement to launch sustained nonviolent protest across the country that begins with many thousands and grows day after day to soon include hundreds of thousands and eventually millions of people who do not stop, creating a political situation where the demand that the whole illegitimate regime is removed from power.

This story goes on at length.
There are people in the streets sacrificing their lives for your freedom.
How about we give them some support, eh?

It's not every city where we can get together in groups to express our dissatisfaction in the streets, but these folks have done that for us.

Tell your friends to take a moment to think of them.

I definitely support most of the people within these movements. My problem is the movements themselves always seem to be co-opted. Both sides think they're working for Freedom when in reality they're just working for the man and doing his bidding which is keeping him in control.

One thing I have found to be true as of late when discussing political issues is if both sides of the political Spectrum are arguing with me that I am wrong on one topic it must mean I have some legitimacy with what I'm saying.

Yes, it is the Hegelian dialectic.
Control both sides and control the outcome.
I'm just glad that the kids care enough to put their lives on the line.

Thanks, I'd forgotten about red ice and i signed up for that one guy's newsletter.

I'm just glad to see some dissent getting attention.

At some point the possibility of turning back will cease, that is the point we must reach to see rule by force come to an end.
