Episode description

“On September 5th we must make a LIVING DECLARATION to the world that we are uniting, we are organizing, we are determined, we are preparing to struggle with all we’ve got, starting now and not stopping until the Trump/Pence regime is driven from power and its fascist program brought to a halt.

Driving out this regime is in the interest of humanity. On September 5th under the unifying demand of Trump/Pence Out Now, we should see the diversity of people who don’t want to live in a fascist America.”

 - From the vision statement for Sept 5 posted to RefuseFascism.org

Activist and writer Corey Hill (@NewsCHill) talks to Sam Goldman (@SamanthaGoldm19) about aligning analysis of the nature of the Trump presidency with the appropriate response (hint: it's not waiting for the fallout from the brewing catastrophe that is the November election). Then, we listen to clips from organizers and activists on the ground: Carl Dix (@carl_dix), Jamel Mims (@JamNoPeanut), Emma Kaplan (@emmancipator) and Luna Hernandez (@beddbuggg). Then Coco Das (@coco_das), one of the editors of RefuseFascism.org reads a poem from an activist in Houston.
