Supporter,
We enter the new year at a time of great volatility. The impeachment of Trump is sharpening up the conflict at the highest levels of US government, and with profound international reverberations.
Ominously, yesterday, Trump ordered the U.S. military to assassinate by drone missile strike the high- ranking Iranian military leader Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani at the Baghdad airport. This action follows US bombing of Iranian-affiliated militias in Iraq and Syria.
This is a major and extremely dangerous and provocative escalation. A military strike killing a leader of a state, in another sovereign state, is an act of aggression, if not war, against both Iran and Iraq, and has potentially huge and unpredictable consequences.

At such a moment of conspicuous change – yes at the top of the US government, and between nations - our actions, our daring, our determination can have potentially historic impact.
2019 saw an global wave of massive and sustained protests all over the world that took on, and in many cases drove out, hated regimes. No less is needed here.
RefuseFascism.org's mission and our promise to the people of the world now is to launch, inspire, and provide direction to the #OUTNOW! Movement of sustained non-violent broad based mass protest for the single demand: TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!
RefuseFascism.org calls on everyone to protest, demanding NO U.S. WAR WITH IRAN! DRIVE OUT the FASCIST Trump/Pence Regime! #OUTNOW!

You are invited to #OutNOW Mass Meetings Saturday & Sunday
No one can say in advance just how much sharper the domestic and international contention will become. No one can say in advance exactly how deeply this impeachment is going to reverberate and impact the masses of people here and around the world.
But we can say that if the people take up the kind of massive, sustained, nonviolent protest demanding the ouster of the whole regime that RefuseFascism.org and the #OUTNOW! Movement are fighting for, this could change the whole game.
At meetings this weekend, we will discuss, brainstorm and plan how to develop the week after week movement of sustained mass protest. How can we, together, win growing numbers of people to take up this demand and join us in the streets to make it real?
Come on behalf of your schools, congregations, social justice and student groups, neighborhood associations, or as unaffiliated individuals who want to take on the greatest challenge facing humanity today.
