Joint Call to Action from Triangle Unity May Day Coalition and the Charlotte Uprising:
Shut Down Trump and the KKK! No white supremacy and state violence!
Following the 2016 presidential election of the notoriously bigoted Donald Trump, the country has witnessed a resurgence of hateful rhetoric and violence aimed at immigrants, Muslims, Black people, LGBTQ people, women, disabled people and all oppressed people. On Dec. 3rd, the terrorist Ku Klux Klan, are scheduled to hold a “victory” parade in North Carolina to celebrate the electoral win of Donald Trump.
The Triangle Unity May Day coalition includes many groups and individuals united to counter overt and systemic oppression. As Trump and his followers, including the KKK, plans to demonstrate their unabashed hate for marginalized groups, we will demonstrate our unity with an unrelenting fight for justice.
We are building a united movement for people’s power to lift up the struggles of immigrants, Muslims, Black people, women, LGBTQ people and all of the working class. Trump, the wealthy and Wall Street continue to uphold the capitalist state which perpetuates violence, hatred, racism, bigotry and war. We unite in our struggle against these forces and work towards dismantling systems and structures that oppress while building towards equitable and just alternatives.
The KKK a known terrorist organization, are fearful of a mass response, so they haven’t even announced yet what city or time they will host their pathetic parade. So, we will be organizing rallies and caravans in cities across the state. Please join these morning rallies before heading to KKK parade. Once location is announced, everyone should still report to these locations to join a caravan so that we arrive united and together, for protection and strength.
