Friend,
Confronting & Rejecting a Culture of Fascist Violence
Episode 113 of Refuse Fascism Uploaded May 29
In the aftermath of the horrific massacre of schoolchildren in
Uvalde, Texas, which was close on the heels of a white supremacist
killing spree in Buffalo, NY, we’re re-sharing the extremely relevant
interview Sam Goldman did with Dr. Carol Anderson in November 2021.
Dr.
Anderson is the Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African
American Studies at Emory University and the author of White Rage: The
Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, One Person, No Vote: How Voter
Suppression is Destroying Our Democracy, and her latest book The Second:
Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America which was the focus of this
conversation.
Host Coco Das: “It is noteworthy that this time, there were thousands of protesters outside the NRA convention. Most were calling for gun reform, but we do have to confront that this is a problem that goes deeper than that. It’s a culture of violence and terror that is rooted in the founding of this country, a legacy that the fascist Republican Party is marshaling towards all out fascism and civil war, and that we cannot fight against without digging deeper and marshaling a force just as powerful – the people who have a heart for humanity. “
Then, we share a few clips from the protests this past week demanding
abortion rights. Featured voices include Mark Ruffalo, Kayli Carter,
Sunsara Taylor and some of the students who walked out of school to shut
down the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC.

Will we
be bystanders to a grave crime against women & girls as they are
condemned to incubators by the state or will lift our sights and dare to
STOP the Supreme Court from taking away abortion rights?
Grab
5 people or 500, gather at some place bound to get attention and do a
disruptive die-in aimed at getting the attention of those who pass,
getting out on social media, and getting in the major media. Should this
be done at a crowded shopping mall? in a busy plaza or transit hub? in
front of a tunnel or the middle of a freeway? Yes! The possibilities are
endless.
We’ll be posting videos of past die-ins, and tips for how to do this well so be sure to follow @Rise4AbortionRights
