A new hell week begins as election rejection kicks into overdrive
“Hell Week II: The Revenge” Threatens Unrestrained Election Rejection
_http://thegreatrecession.info/blog/hell-week-election-rejection/
DisruptJ20 calls for “NO PEACEFUL TRANSITION.” Their website states, “On Friday, January 20, 2017, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as President of the United States. We call on all people of good conscience to join in disrupting the ceremonies. If Trump is to be inaugurated at all, let it happen behind closed doors, showing the true face of the security state Trump will preside over. It must be made clear to the whole world that the vast majority of people in the United States do not support his presidency or consent to his rule. Trump stands for tyranny, greed, and misogyny. He is the champion of neo-nazis and white Nationalists, of the police who kill the Black, Brown and poor on a daily basis, of racist border agents and sadistic prison guards, of the FBI and NSA who tap your phone and read your email….
“He is the harbinger of even more climate catastrophe, deportation, discrimination, and endless war. He continues to deny the existence of climate change, in spite of all the evidence, putting the future of the whole human race at stake. [...]
[...] If you can’t make it to Washington, DC on January 20, take to the streets wherever you are.
We call on our comrades to organize demonstrations and other actions for the night of January 20.”
Legba Carrefour, an anarchist in charge of the group’s press relations, says, “We are planning to shut down the inauguration, that’s the short of it. We’re pretty literal about that, we are trying to create citywide paralysis on a level that I don’t think has been seen in D.C. before.
We’re trying to shut down pretty much every ingress into the city as well as every checkpoint around the actual inauguration parade route.”
So far fifty-seven anarchist groups around the nation have signed on to support DisruptJ20’s call to action in various parts of the US.
Refuse Fascism says, “ “In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America.
Stop the Trump-Pence regime before it begins. Take to the streets every night and every day…. Bring DC to a halt!” They plan events for every day of inauguration week and are surrounding the Trump Hotel in the old Post Office Building. “Among huge numbers of people there is a deep anxiety, alienation, disgust and anger in relation to the recent presidential election and its outcome…. The current angst and outrage could be transformed, in a very short, telescoped period of time, into
resistance which reaches such massive proportions, and is characterized by such a depth of determination, that it actually creates a “crisis of rule,” and prevents the Trump/Pence fascist regime from consolidating its hold on the governance of society…. As many have noted,
Hitler himself came to power through the process of elections and established legal procedures…. This
is not an exaggerated comparison…. The aim must be nothing less than to create such a profound political crisis before the intended inauguration (January 20, 2017) that the fascist regime is actually not able to take the reins of government.” We REFUSE to accept a Fascist America!”
Anti-Capitalist & Anti-Fascist Bloc writes, “We are calling for a mobile bloc
opposing capitalism and fascism at the inauguration…. This January 20th, thousands of people will mobilize to disrupt Trump’s inauguration, rejecting the tyranny, greed, and bigotry he represents. Many different permitted marches, blockades, and other autonomous direct actions are planned. Those who travel to DC hoping to celebrate Trump’s ascendance to power will find the inaugural ceremonies reduced to a total clusterf…. Towards becoming an ungovernable force this winter.”
Occupy Wall Street now partners to create Occupy Inauguration: The Equality Coalition and Occupy Inauguration are working together to bring you a mass event taking place in Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day, January 20th-21st, 2017. Numerous alternative political parties, communists parties, socialists parties, green movements, Native American groups, and progressive/liberal organizations have endorsed their effort.
The ANSWER Coalition, which stands for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, says they plan to stage a large demonstration near the White House if they can get permission for a spot that often makes it on national TV. New York organizer Ben Becker says, “We think the most important thing is having the largest possible turnout. We have a peaceful plan, it’s loud and it will be visible…. We think it’s the beginning of a potentially massive new movement in the United States and it’s important that on that first day we send a message about our numbers, a message about our politics, a message about what it is in the Trump agenda that we reject. We’re not encouraging any tactics that are going to detract from that.”
DC Anti-Fascist Coalition claims, “Members of the Alt Reich are having a fancy ball [the DeploraBall], taking a smarmy victory lap through our DC streets to celebrate their sexual assaulter in chief, Donald Trump…. We must stand for a world based on love and justice, not fear…. We must stand against racism, Islamophobia, sexism, and all forms of oppression. We call on people of conscience to protest and help send a message to the Trump Administration and his followers: We are better than this, and we will never accept this hate in our nation’s capital…. We ask that protestors, do not under any circumstances initiate any violence, but protect one another and practice self-defense.”
Qockblockade Brigade is a group of self-described queers that plans to
“hold a queer anti-Inauguration party at a security checkpoint! Even though we’re taking over a security checkpoint, we’re there to have a good time – have fun, dance, celebrate our queer identities – no matter how anyone else reacts. This is NOT a space to instigate, and we will not be trying to provoke arrest…. Make sure you can make it out to celebrate the queendom.”
Climate Convergence plans “a number of marches, rallies and actions all weekend.”
The “Women’s March on Washington” is planned for the day after the inauguration and is more of an old-fashion mainstream event, starring Gloria Steinem and Harry Belafonte. Planned Parenthood is one sponsor and says, ” “We will send a strong message to the incoming administration that millions of people across this country are prepared to fight attacks on reproductive health care, abortion services, and access to Planned Parenthood.” Organizers say the event is not planned to target Trump specifically. Linda Sarsour, executive director of the Arab American Association of New York, said the march will be a “stand on social justice and human rights issues ranging from race, ethnicity, gender, religion, immigration, and healthcare.” Nearly 200,000 people have pledged to attend so far, and sister events are scheduled for various cities around the nation on the same day. Their website says, “We are working with local and federal law enforcement and do not intend to engage in any civil disobedience. We expect all marchers to abide by all laws and any instruction of law enforcement…. Finally, we are planning a peaceful demonstration and are training marshals in de-escalation tactics and ask that all marchers remain peaceful.”
