Emergency! Trump has unleashed a hailstorm of fascist shock and awe. Executive order after order to restructure society, ethnically cleanse non-white immigrants, erase trans people, seize territories, accelerate environmental destruction and more. All this enforced by measures aimed at silencing and punishing dissent within government and private institutions while also pardoning and backing the hardened January 6 fascist shock troops to intimidate and terrorize those who would resist. This is FASCISM. IT MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT IS CONSOLIDATED.
We call on all decent people to act boldly to say NO! and to call forward others in growing nonviolent resistance that doesn't stop until this fascism is defeated. Silence is COMPLICITY.
Standing up against individual attacks—against immigrants, trans people, and others—is righteous and necessary, but on its own is NOT ENOUGH! THE WHOLE TRUMP/MAGA FASCIST PROGRAM MUST BE DEFEATED BEFORE IT CONSOLIDATES!
How can this happen? The revolutionary leader, Bob Avakian, spells this out:
[Defeating this fascism] means building and mobilizing a truly broad and determined mass movement—uniting all who can be united, in rapidly and continually growing numbers, all over the country—aiming to become so massive and powerful that it creates a profound political crisis, such that Trump cannot govern the country and implement his fascist program.
