Trump’s candidacy is drawing the most reactionary elements of the capitalist class to Cleveland for the RNC July 18 to 21. Their agenda is war, racism, raids and austerity.

In mid July thousands of activists from across the country who have mobilized to shut down Trump’s vicious agenda will join hands with people of Cleveland who are determined to resist the right-wing RNC extravaganza.

We urge support and unity for all the actions protesting Trump and the RNC – from the weekend People’s Convention to the Monday Dump Trump protest as the RNC opens, to all resistance through out the week.

Cleveland is notorious for racist police murders. Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson, Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams are only the latest Black people murdered by the Cleveland Police Dept. Cleveland police will gain a vast new arsenal to be goons for Trump and the RNC and will continue to use these mega-weapons in their war on the Black community. This too we will protest.

But we must go beyond protest. We need fundamental change! We need organization, unity and fightback against this whole criminal capitalist system, independent of the two big capitalist parties.

Whichever party wins, the super rich remain in power. Now both capitalist parties are torn by contradictions. Yet each party plans to spend $1.5 billion for campaigns that hide the truth of our dying cities, poisoned water, mass incarceration, low wages, raids on immigrants, climate change and police terror. Both parties are committed to expanding NATO, aid to Israel, spending trillions on endless wars and bailing out the banks.

Young people are confronting Trump, everywhere he goes. Let’s continue this heroic resistance. Let’s open the days of street protests during the RNC with a mass march against Trump and the RNC on Sunday, July 17.
