Offense and Defense: How To Defeat Trump/MAGA Fascism & Defend Those Under Attack

On January 20, Trump will re-take the reins of power. We have to confront Trump/MAGA fascism 2.0—now backed by all three branches of government, a united and far-reaching fascist movement, with the Republican Party purged of any dissent, and a cabinet ready to go full of woman-haters, immigrant-bashers, war criminals, white supremacists, science deniers, climate destroyers, racists and shameless liars with no respect for the rule of law. With Trump’s inauguration posing an existential threat to humanity and the planet itself, this forum aims to bring people together to inspire and bolster collective action. Join us to hear prescient insights from people who have been leading serious efforts to expose and oppose Trump/MAGA fascism, illuminating the threats we face and the paths forward to resist them effectively. Featuring: Coco Das, Member of the Refuse Fascism Editorial Board Faisal Al-Jubari, Chief External Affairs Officer for RAICES (Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services) Sunsara Taylor, co-host of The RNL-Revolution Nothing Less-Show Hosted by: Sam Goldman, Host of the Refuse Fascism Podcast Could the MAGA nightmare really all come to pass? Is the best thing we can do be begging Democratic Party leaders or waiting for elections? What would serious opposition look like and where and how do we get it started now? Will finding common ground with fascists rein them in or keep us safe? Can we actually wrench out a different future? IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!
