Defiant Days From Revolution Books: Talks, Dialogue, and Performance. In the Name of Humanity, Trump/Pence Must Go!

Defiant Days From Revolution Books: Talks, Dialogue, Performance. In the Name of Humanity, The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!
is an emergency response to an unprecedentedly dangerous sitaution. The openly white supremacist Trump/Pence regime is marshaling forces to hold on to power and impose full-out fascist rule. This juggernaut must be stopped before it is too late.

Defiant Days is inspired by the historic statement from the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian, On the Immediate Critical Situation, the Urgent Need to Drive Out the Fascist Trump/Pence Regime, Voting in this Election, and the Fundamental Need for Revolution.

Defiant Days of passionate, informed, and politically urgent discussion and debate...inspiring and challenging cultural events...panels featuring a diverse range of scholars, social justice activists, writers...open-air discussions...spoken-word and musical performance. To deepen understanding of what we are confronting and to heighten people's determination to act. We welcome the call from RefuseFascism.org for mass, sustained, nonviolent and determined protest to drive this regime from power.
