The danger we face is not only what the regime is doing. It is the millions who oppose Trump adjusting to, and being conditioned to, adapt to each new outrage. To tell themselves that the midterms or someone else will stop this. To learn to live with what they once swore they would never accept.

History is full of moments when people deluded themselves there was still time—until suddenly there wasn’t. The question now is whether that will happen again—or whether a force can be forged that is capable of providing the leadership needed to change the course of history.

Yesterday in Columbia Park, Seattle, people gathered to protest the Trump ICE murders this week of Lorenzo Salgado Araujoin in Houston, Texas, and Joan Sebastian Guerreroin in Biddeford, Maine.

26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero was murdered by ICE in front of his 3-year-old daughter.

ICE is Trump’s Gestapo carrying out an ethnic cleansing of Black and Brown immigrants.

They are hunting down immigrants everywhere as they try to go about their lives.

The only human response is to confront the magnitude of what is being done in our name and refuse to accept it.

Enough is enough.

Enough has to mean a rapidly growing force in the streets and throughout society demanding:

TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

Sunday June 14 Refuse Fascism Seattle collaborated with Capitol Hill Pride in a powerful day of Protest, Live Music, Community and a Big Watch Party in the Park of the Rise Up Sing Out national concert.

Stop Trump Fascist ICE Gestapo Attack on Immigrants! Trump Must Go NOW!

A fascist regime is fighting to make this a country ruled by virulent macho patriarchy – where women are incubators, LGBTQ people are forced back into the closet, and trans people are erased with targets on their backs. This pride month, we need to see millions saying NO! We refuse to live in their cruel and brutal future!
Waiting for the next elections will be too late. We cannot rely on the Democratic Party's leadership who complacently rely on the very norms and processes that the Trump regime shreds by the hour.

Our mission at Refuse Fascism is to make the argument for the sake of humanity that this fascist regime MUST be driven from power by mass nonviolent protest before it becomes too late. We need volunteers to especially help with mass leafleting to make this argument on a mass scale. Join us!

June 14: On the occasion of No Kings 4: Trump must go NOW Protest and Watch Party. Noon, Cal Anderson Park, 1635 11th Ave, Seattle

June 14 is Trump's birthday. Last year he tried a military parade, which didn't go too well. We are now another year into this rapidly consolidating fascism. We are being told to vote really hard this November. Trump wants to do some sort of entertainment event, probably staring a certain negative talent individual. Decent people all over will be watching something different:

June 14: Rise Up, Sing Out A Concert for the First Amendment. An Evening to Build Community.

This will be a powerful concert with some top talent taking on this regime through song. There will be watch parties all over the country, including many places in Seattle. Refuse Fascism Seattle is joining with Capitol Hill Pride and others to host a watch party at Cal Anderson Park. We are not only hosting a watch party. In the spirit of modeling what needs to be done on a massive scale this watch party will be preceded by protest rally and local music.

In collaboration with Capitol Hill Pride we are planning a full day of resistance in Cal Anderson Park: Some things you can join in on (with times): 12-1 Protest rally with speakers 1-2 March in Capitol Hill 2-4 Hang out in the Park with us-- converse about what we need to do to stop the Trump/Vance fascist onslaught-- and also have fun hang out and join in some music. 4:30 Rise Up Sing Out-- watch party in the Park.

A fascist regime is fighting to make this a country ruled by virulent macho patriarchy – where women are incubators, LGBTQ people are forced back into the closet, and trans people are erased with targets on their backs. This pride month, we need to see millions saying NO! We refuse to live in their cruel and brutal future! Waiting for the next elections will be too late. We cannot rely on the Democratic Party's leadership who complacently rely on the very norms and processes that the Trump regime shreds by the hour.

Our mission at Refuse Fascism is to make the argument for the sake of humanity that this fascist regime MUST be driven from power by mass nonviolent protest before it becomes too late. We need volunteers to especially help with mass leafleting to make this argument on a mass scale. If you are a musician or poet and would like to perform-- please let us know. Please donate so we can put out these materials. Our plans are still coming together so please stay tuned and please spread the word! This needs to be big.

Look for our Big Orange Banner near the South end of the park.

No Kings Day, June 14, Noon, Cal Anderson Park, Seattle

A f*scist regime is fighting to make this a country ruled by virulent macho patriarchy – where women are incubators, LGBTQ people are forced back into the closet, and trans people are erased with targets on their backs. This pride month, we need to see millions saying NO! We refuse to live in their cruel and brutal future!

Waiting for the next elections will be too late. We cannot rely on the Democratic Party’s leadership who complacently rely on the very norms and processes that the Trump regime shreds by the hour.

NO! We must organize and struggle as we never have before. We must not allow ourselves to be divided and conquered. We must unite all who can be united from many different viewpoints and perspectives, to foster and draw on a collective spirit of courage and righteous fury and willingness to make the necessary sacrifices, for the greater good of defeating this fascism. We in our millions are a force powerful enough to defeat Trump/MAGA f*scism.

This force can defeat this regime with millions of decent people rising in sustained, nonviolent resistance so powerful we create a political crisis that makes this regime unable to govern or hold power. This is possible.

SUNDAY May 24, 4pm: Rally and March: Stop the New Jim Crow and all the horrors of the Trump Fascist Regime. At Cal Anderson Park, Seattle.

Recently, in the Louisiana v Callais et al case, the Fascist Supreme Court’s ruling effectively gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Section 2 made voter discrimination by race and other identities illegal. As a result, several red states are already redistricting for the mid-term elections. It’s been calculated that the GOP will gain 10-12 seats in the House as a result of this rigging (accounting for Democratic redistricting gains in California, Utah).

Protests led by Justin Pearson (Black Democratic Representative, Tennessee), the 'All Roads Lead to the South' protest and other protests in response to this bullshit ruling remind us that millions in this country hate this and do not want to live with a New Jim Crow 2.0!

We need to mobilize them under the just demand: “TRUMP MUST GO NOW!” to drive out the white supremacists in the White House and the whole Trump fascist regime.

This Sunday we will march in solidarity-- bringing the way to end this madness to the forefront-- mass nonviolent protest that doesn't stop until the regime falls. Our mission Sunday will be mass outreach about these issues.  

We will follow the protest with a semi-informal get together in the park to get to know each other and dig deeper into these issues.

Mother’s Day is today. We are thinking of Renee Good, a mother who was killed by Trump's goons.

Renee Good loved her kids and humanity. She was cut down for standing up for others. The love she showed epitomizes the values we celebrate today and every day.

For her and for so many others, here and worldwide, our fight continues.

Trump Must Go NOW.
