J20 Anti-Fascist Rally And March
January 20, 2017
On Jan 20th, Donald Trump will become the President of the United States. When that happens, he will bring a dangerous collection of far-right extremists, climate change deniers, predatory billionaires, open Islamophobes, anti-semites, and white supremacists into power with him.
If half of what he says can be believed, he will also begin punishing free journalism, strip millions of their health insurance, deport and indefinitely detain millions of undocumented migrants, force Muslim citizens to register themselves as such with the government, and build a wall across the border with Mexico at the expense of US taxpayers. He will bring people into power who challenge the humanity and rights of women, queer and trans people, racialized people, disabled people, as well as the entirety of the working class which makes up the majoirty of the country he plans to govern.
In response, groups across the USA have called for a GENERAL STRIKE on Friday, January 20th, in protest of their country's undemocratic and corrupt neoliberal political system, which promotes and sustains the racism, classism, and misogyny that fueled Trump's rise to power.
