Enough is Enough! Central Illinois Against Fascism & Racism!

Enough is enough. Since the candidancy of President Trump, we have noticed a growing and alarming resurgence in fascism in this country. And his victory in November only strengthened the already present white supremacy that lies at the foundations of American history.

Groups and activists from all across Central Illinois will be gathering at the Federal Building in Peoria on September 9th, Saturday, at 3:30PM to draw a line in the sand: NO TRUMP! NO KKK! NO FASCIST USA! History has shown us multiple times that when fascism and bigotry are allowed to organize, to infiltrate the government, and build a platform the consequences are devastating. We refuse to repeat history. “Never again” is our motto.

Our demands:
— The immediate impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence.

— The classification of white supremacy as a form of terrorism, and its prosecution by the DOJ & FBI.

— The immediate removal of all white supremacists elements of the government (including Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, Stephen Miller, Kris Kobach, Julie Kirchner, and Sebastian Gorka).

— The immediate removal of Rex Tillerson, and any other individual within the executive, with direct ties to Russia.

— An end to the state terrorism committed against black, brown and immigrant individuals in this country.

Join us in this nonviolent, direct action. Bring signs, flags, posters, instruments, loudspeakers, and most importantly your voice.

More info coming soon.

Hosted by Milwaukee Coalition Against Trump

UW-Milwaukee Student Union Room 191, 7-9 P.M.

Join the Peace Action WI End the Wars Committee and the Milwaukee Coalition Against Trump for a night of inspiration.

A panel of speakers will address the importance of linking struggles for justice and peace in the U.S. with those against U.S. wars and intervention around the world. They will be building on the tradition of Martin Luther King, Jr., who spoke against the U.S.’ three basic evils of poverty, racism, and militarism. The struggle against these evils is currently being carried by the Poor People’s Campaign led by Bishop Rev. William Barber.

This event is FREE and open to the public! More information on the event and speakers will be published shortly.

1000 Northview Rd., Waukesha Expo Center, 5 P.M.

Waukesha residents, with the support of the Milwaukee Coalition Against Trump, will protest an anti-Islam rally at the Waukesha County Expo Center on September 16th at 5pm. The anti-Islam event organized by the far right wing Christian group VCY is titled “The Trojan Horse of Interfaith Dialogue” and spreads lies, fear, and hatred towards Muslims by using phrases like “the threat of Islamic law in America.”

Protesters from all backgrounds will gather to condemn the dangerous and deceptive anti-Muslim speech, and to tell Waukesha County and Wisconsin that Muslims are welcome in our state.

No to Racism and Islamophobia!
No to VCY’s anti-Muslim Lies!
Stop Trump’s attacks on Muslims and Immigrants!
