On Inauguration Day, January 20th, folks of good conscience will gather at the corner of Rt. 11 and Park St. from 2-3PM, along with folks in DC and cities across the country in a nationwide mobilization opposing Trump’s ultra-right, billionaire agenda.
Trump ran a con game during the election. His real agenda is to destroy worker’s rights, deport millions of immigrant families, and pave the way for a complete corporate capitalist takeover by ending regulations to protect the environment, firing thousands of public sector workers, and transferring ever-larger parts of the National Treasury to the military industrial complex.
The recent Trump victory represents the complete failure of the Democratic Party to stop the rise of the ultra-right. In fact, they have contributed to it by adopting much of the programs of the extreme right while embracing endless war and genocide. Instead of responding to the real needs of the people, both Democrats and Republicans have moved further and further to the right, screwing over workers like you and me. Trump’s agenda is the culmination of his right-ward spiral, and his administration will move to make major gains for the billionaire class at the expense of millions of everyday people in the US and across the world. Don’t you feel it?
But we can defeat the Trump program. Not by following the Democratic Party establishment, but by standing together to build a massive movement against the ruling class and the political system that gives everything to billionaires while impoverishing our communities.
This fight starts now. Tens of thousands of people are taking action on January 20th all across the country, and I hope to see you in Canton.
