48. We need to stop fascism before it gets to this point

Fri Jul 14, 2023, 04:27 PM

Jul 2023

Work like your life depends on it for progressive candidates and issues. Phone bank, write letters and text every spare minute. Let it be known that treating groups as subhuman and advocating "exterminating" people has no place in a free society. Spend every penny you can spare to support justice and equality.

If it come down to firearms, we have failed. Fascism worships violence and force. Do not let the battle shift to their terms.
