NYC: NO Muslim Ban! Drive Out the Trump/Pence Regime

#RefuseFascism.org at Union Square on Thursday with Noche Diaz speaking about the public being “passive while they implement attacks all around the world. This is a Fascist regime and it must be driven out”, Noche Diaz said. “There are millions of people who do not want to live in a fascist America. Not to rely on a Savior above but to rely on ourselves taking to the streets confronting what we need to confront”. “In the name of Humanity, they’ve already signed off on drilling in the earth that can poison the water and ruin the environment.”

Noche Diaz wearing NO! Drive Out Trump/Pence stickers while speaking at Union Square on Thursday. “IN the first 50 days of the Trump/Pence regime it can already be said, that First they came for the Muslims and then they came for immigrants, then they went after trans gender people and women and on and on. WE CANNOT BE THE GOOD GERMANS WHO SAT BY AS HITLER CONSOLIDATED POWER”.

A crowd of around 40 or so gathered at Union Square park on Thursday to say,,

Omar Abouelkhair with Egyptian Americans for Democracy and Human Rights spoke about the “overthrow of the Egyptian government and the thousands who came into the streets and the thousands who were killed in the process. Since then there has been a continuous deterioration of basic rights in Egypt. Mass executions, political trials, mass trials, extra judicial executions, torture are just some of the things that are happening in Egypt ever since then. I’ve actually attended these protests and was shot by security forces at one of these protests. I know the process and what it takes. WE ARE NO STRANGERS TO CENSORSHIP, WE ARE NO STRANGERS TO TYRANNY, WE ARE NOT STRANGERS TO FASCISM. What message does it send to our fellow Mexican Americans that the President of the United States tells them that we need to build a wall to keep them out, and Muslim Americans, women?” Omar then spoke about the recent shootings of a man from India and of those in a mosque in Canada by a Trump supporter killing 6 worshippers, mosques lit on fire and Jewish cemeteries being vandalized.

PROTEST!
NO BAN! NO WALL!
IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!
RESIST THE TRUMP/PENCE MUSLIM BAN 2.0

Last night a federal judge issued a national order blocking the Trump/Pence regime’s travel ban on people coming from Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Syria and Sudan. The ban was scheduled to go into effect at 12:01 Thursday.

Nation-wide protests scheduled for Thursday against the Muslim Ban 2.0 will go forward.

It is very good that this outrageous ban will not go into effect, at least on March 16. But this ban is still part of Trump’s fascist program, targetting Muslims and whipping up a xenophobic fascist population. Trump has made clear repeatedly that he will not back down, that he will continue to go forward with his fascist ban. He’s heaped derision on the courts repeatedly. People of all nationalities must resist to ensure this ban is permanently blocked, and we must connect this to the fight to drive this fascist regime out!
No Ban! No Wall! No Raids, Round-Ups or Deportations!
No Human Being Is Illegal! Drive Out ICE! Drive Out the Trump/Pence Fascist Regime!
IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NYC: NO Muslim Ban! Drive Out the Trump/Pence Regime
