#NoFascistUSA Emergency Meeting, Andy Zee

#NoFascistUSA

Andy Zee, spokesperson for Revolution Books, gives a vision of the power of the word “NO!” and how we can move from the hundreds who were gathered in Cooper Union that night and the tens of thousands watching on livestream around the country, to act together and build our resistance in a telescoped period of days and weeks. New Year’s Eve, in particular, must be marked by outdoor protests and candlelight vigils, gatherings of defiance. “No Fascist New Year! We Say NO to Trump and Pence!” From there, waves of decentralized protests must spread across the country, different organizations and communities acting in their own ways but with the unified theme of “No!” The word must appear on walls, on shirts, on social media, on television, in artistic ways and ways that inspire others to act.

Yes, you read that right. The way to deal with fascism is to stop it before it starts. Get with it!
