--seeks your input on how to oppose Trump's efforts to delegitimize Biden's presidency.
--invites you to a virtual concert Wednesday evening

We
extend an invitation to all to work with us to find creative ways to
show our collective opposition to Trump’s rampaging fascist mobs who
will descend on DC on January 6 in an attempt to overturn Biden’s
decisive victory over Trump.
Joe Biden won the 2020 election by some 7 million popular votes and 74 electoral college votes. Biden’s victory was overwhelming and legitimate! Trump lost and needs to get the hell out!
Yet, Donald Trump is still working aggressively to
overturn the election through lies, through baseless and failing legal
challenges, and through whipping up his fascist supporters to terrorize
those who oppose him.
On January 6, the day when Congress is set to meet and
officially certify Job Biden as the winner, Trump is urging his rabid
supporters to converge on Washington, DC and urging Republicans to
disrupt this certification in Congress. Last time Trump’s MAGA
supporters rampaged through DC, they savagely assaulted
counter-protesters and bystanders and targeted Black churches with white
supremacist vandalism. This time, Trump himself is stoking the flames
of reactionary rage even higher, promising the rally will “be wild.”
It is a profound problem that must be confronted and
transformed that the “decent people” of this country who voted against
Trump have, since the election, ceded the political initiative and the
public squares to fascist marauders.
The fascism that Trump has spearheaded and which is now
metastasizing into massive mob violence and conspiracy-driven rejection
of a legitimate election is not going to go away on its own. Ignored, it
will only grow worse.
In DC and nationwide: We urge you to work with us
to overcome fear and uncertainty by working to find creative ways to
manifest your opposition to the fascists and their attempts to overturn
the election on January 6. Below is a letter with some ideas. Use them or come up with your own, and write to us with your plans.
We urge you also to write with us with your thoughts and
questions about how we can, together, transform this situation in an
ongoing way.

Why Ramona gives & asks you to answer her challenge:
Dear Friends, Family and People of Conscience:
I
am asking that you
contribute to the year-end fundraiser for Refuse Fascism and
I will match your donations up to $1000. The horrors of
this barbaric, Trump/Pence fascist regime and what has been unleashed
over the past 4 years are not over, and there is no other organization
like Refuse Fascism to continue to fight for humanity. RF identified
this regime as fascist from day one, and has fought to build a movement
to get thousands of people into the streets to drive this regime out of
power. “TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!”
We
need you to stand with us and support this vital movement. This
struggle is not over. 74 million people voted to continue the bigotry;
the patriarchy; the xenophobia; the homophobia; the transphobia and the
white supremacy. The Proud Boys stood by and now are striking out. Biden
and the Democrats have shown you that they will not fight these
fascists like they need to be fought. It is good that Biden will be in
the white house (if Trump leaves), but he is consistently talking about
negotiating with the fascist republic party. WE must raise our sights
higher than this. We are fighting for all of humanity!
For a better world
- Ramona
