4/18/2020: Refuse Fascism with symbolic “body bags” across from the Trump National Golf Club in Pine Hill, New Jersey.

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.
