April 18, 2020: Nationwide Defiant Actions Demand Trump/Pence #OUTNOW!
| revcom.us
In daring and defiant actions carried out observing social distancing, RefuseFascism delivered home-made body-bags to Trump properties and staged other actions in New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Los Angeles on April 18 (with more scheduled). The message: THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO NOW! — and challenging people to get with the movement to DRIVE THE REGIME FROM POWER THROUGH MASS NONVIOLENT SUSTAINED POLITICAL PROTEST. In addition, and with that mission, protesters demanded aid and protection for humanity globally, not just for Americans, based on international co-operation, not competition; protection for healthcare workers, for people in prisons and ICE detention, and asylum seekers.
Local media in several cities, and some international media, contrasted the Refuse Fascism protests, which started from the interests of humanity, with MAGA rallies by often armed, hyper-patriotic Trump supporters, waving the Confederate flag, protesting measures to slow the spread of COVID-19 and demanding Democratic officials in Michigan and other states be “locked up.”
In Philadelphia, dozens of fascists in more than twenty cars, along with a force of NJ police, prevented a Refuse Fascism car caravan from getting to the gates of a Trump golf club; however they persevered. Livestream of the event was seen by tens of thousands.

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
