  • Trump must go DC.

  • 3:12
  • Okay, I want to get everybody's attention. I want to get everybody's attention.
  • That march around the White House we just did is because we demand an end to
  • the fascist takeover of DC. [Applause]
  • And we demand a removal of Trump out of the White House
  • [Applause] and his whole fascist regime. Yeah.
  • And I want to say I want to say look, we're going to keep this really short here in front of the
  • White House, but we're going to be here for a couple of minutes. We're going to be here for a couple of minutes because we came to say something in front of
  • this White House that we are determined to drive the fascist regime there out of power.

  • 4:04
  • There will be no free DC or free anywhere else if this regime remains in
  • power. Before the takeover of DC, they have been
  • flooding the streets of Los Angeles with ICE agents, with federal agents, with National Guard troops.
  • [Music] And now they are doing this in the
  • capital as part of a fascist takeover of the whole society. shutting down
  • universities, shutting down the our history in museums, taking over for a
  • fascist America with a genocidal white supremacist in the White House.
  • So this is why we are in front of the White House and this is why in addition
  • to saying free DC, we say the whole Trump fascist regime has to go now.

  • 5:03
  • back a little bit so that gets in the photo. Now, I want to do this while we're here together. I want to have a couple of the
  • people who weren't able to speak at our beginning rally give a very short one to
  • two minute statement. We have three people that we had scheduled to speak at the beginning, but everybody was eager
  • to march and we knew it was time to go. So, we got ourselves here. But our diversity is important. What these
  • people have to say is important. So, I want us to hear them. I want us to hear their voices.
  • They're going to cut their speeches down to half. They're going to do it in two minutes each. But I want you to hear the
  • voices of the people who make up the broad diversity of everybody that needs to be in the streets demanding Trump
  • must go now. [Music] So, first I'm going to bring up Tony G.
  • Tony is a member of PBLO and he is part of the leadership of refuse fascism DMV

  • 6:01
  • and he's going to get on the mic right now and give a two-minut statement to two minutes. One minute.
  • Hello everyone. Thank you so much for being here today. You're so brave to walk because we're
  • going to continue walking for our people for those who've been silent.
  • We also gather here today because we remember those immigrants who have died in the hands of ICE on
  • concentration camps are running away from ice raids.
  • or eyes. These are people, human beings with
  • families, with stories, with dignity.

  • 7:03
  • for those we are here for those who can't speak anymore. I'm going to I
  • don't have that much time. I was going to I was going to say every single name of them, but what we're going to do, we're going to do 10 seconds of whistle
  • for them who passed away.
  • They they came from different countries,
  • Canada, Honduras, Haiti looking for a better future
  • and instead they their life was disposed.
  • They did. They were not treated correctly as human beings. And that's why we're here today.
  • I got to cut this. So, I got to be fast. Friends, your name one more time, please.

  • 8:08
  • I'm going to say the names quick. No, your name. Oh, my name. I'm Tony G from Pueblo, the
  • resistance and refuse fascism. We're fighting throughout all the states. Bringing all
  • those people who had the voice, for those who've been silent, we ask you to
  • come out. Um, and beyond the jails, the violence
  • continue. Checkpoints all over the city. Not here, but all over the United States.
  • People running away from ice at a Home Depot in California. A guy was hit by a
  • truck and died this week. That's inhumane.
  • That's not what America stand for. So,

  • 9:00
  • Carlos Mononttoya, what's his name? He's from Mexico. 52 years old. The person who passed away.
  • Carlos Mononttoya, 52 years old. From Mexico. Every day is a wound to our community.
  • Every day is a call to action for all of us immigrants and non-immigrants. Every
  • time they are apprehended, they kidnap one of my brothers and sister at a checkpoint. That hurt every single
  • immigrant. And it hurts people who believe in humanity. And that's when we have to come out to the street and
  • protest because they are afraid. In the DC area, the community is afraid even
  • now to call the police because the police is being taken that by this fetches regime on the back. Let's
  • protect my people. We need your help. As as I always say, we're going to continue
  • marching. This is the beginning. I cannot change the world, but we can start together changing the world.

  • 10:02
  • And we are here for DC. [Applause]
  • We're going to
  • What I say is that we're not going to stop until this government stop those raids and stop those checkpoints and
  • stop those concentration camps and they stop and they start treating immigrants with dignity and respect.
  • We won't be silenced. [Music] [Applause]

  • 11:06
  • [Applause] Okay, now I'm going to bring up Carl Dicks. Carl Dixs is from the RevCom
  • Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity and is a long time fighter against this system. I bring up Carl Dicks. Go ahead.
  • All right. I'm glad I survived the march so I could get here to speak. And I'm going to get
  • right to the point. When Trump announced the fascist takeover, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I'm going to
  • pause this for one second. We have to move this this whole thing we're having here into the street. This is part of
  • the very odd regulations of in front of the White House. So, we're going to keep this going, but we're going to take it
  • into the street. back up a little bit. So, just take this whole thing forward and then we're going to hear from Carl.
  • [Applause] [ __ ] you.

  • 12:05
  • Trump must go now. Trump must go now. Trump must go now.
  • Trump must go now. Trump must go now. Now,
  • okay. Now, for for the people holding the banner, if there's any way that you can hold it for a couple minutes, like up high if you've got the energy for
  • that. If you don't, it's fine. You can keep it down. But if you can hold it high a little bit,
  • that's good. All right. Oh, then we're blocking the White House. Never mind. Never mind. Come back in the
  • street and bring it down. That's okay. Sorry, I had it backwards. Bring it on down. Sorry. Sorry. Take it. You can put it right back on the ground. My bad.
  • That way everybody can see the White House behind you. And we're going to bring Carl right on the other side of this now here.
  • Okay. Like I was saying, when he announced the fascist takeover of
  • policing in DC, he was delivering a message to black people and everybody

  • 13:00
  • else who was listening. Listen to how he phrased this.
  • There are marauding mobs of young gangsters rampaging our streets and
  • causing crime. Who the hell was he talking about when he said marauding mobs of young
  • gangsters? He was talking about black people. Cuz in Trump's mind, his genocidal racist
  • mind, black people are always criminals. Look at how he approached the Central
  • Park Five. Look it up. I ain't going to get into that now cuz I ain't got the time. That is where this [ __ ]
  • was coming from. And he said, 'We're going to knock the hell out of them.' He's telling you black people and others
  • that I'm going to beat black people down so far that they will think they were up
  • back in the days of slavery and Jim Crow segregation cuz that is where this [ __ ] and

  • 14:00
  • his fascist program is coming from. This is a crucial part of it. Now, when I say
  • this, I ain't talking about black people were in paradise before Trump came. No,
  • because this system has always had, at least for my lifetime, and I've been around for a while, an approach to black
  • people of pinning them in, locking them up, and even killing them off. What
  • Trump is saying is, I'm going to accelerate and intensify that [ __ ]
  • I'm going to take the slow genocide that you were getting black people and I'm
  • going to make it a fast genocide. And we got to say what we going to do
  • about that. First off, what are all of us going to do about that?
  • No one should find it okay to live in a society like that.
  • Nobody should get used to it. Nobody should go along with it.
  • We got to all stand up and say this [ __ ] is unconscionable and intolerable. It

  • 15:06
  • must be stopped and we're going to stand together to stop it. [Music]
  • And look, I got to add a message to black people cuz some of y'all was out there saying,
  • 'Topping Donald Trump, that ain't our fight. Let white people take care of it.' They got us into this [ __ ] Let
  • them get us out. Listen to yourself and think of what
  • your heroic ancestors would have said about that. Did your ancestors during
  • the Civil War say, 'This ain't our fight. Let white people fight it out.
  • Hell no. 200,000 black men joined the army and put their lives on the line to
  • fight to end child slavery.' The same approach was taken to Jim Crow segregation and lit mob terror and all
  • the way through. Harriet Tubman didn't say, 'Hey, white people got us into this. I ain't going to put my neck out

  • 16:02
  • to get us out.' And you shouldn't be saying that [ __ ] either because it is [ __ ] wrong. It is everybody's fight
  • when this kind of hell is being brought down. [Applause]
  • Cuz look, you got to say to yourself and ask yourself, what kind of person am I
  • going to be? Am I going to be a person who can stand aside and watch others get
  • taken out as long as I hope it ain't going to come on me? You don't want to be that kind of
  • person, sisters and brothers and beautiful people. You want to be the kind of person who says anybody getting
  • abused, anybody being oppressed and exploited, anybody being murdered,
  • anybody being kidnapped and disappeared, I am being all those are being done to
  • me and I have part of the fight to stand up against it. Now, I want to quickly
  • say something about this thing of illegitimate orders. I know a little bit about that [ __ ] I was in the US Army

  • 17:03
  • back in the 60s. They gave me orders to go to Vietnam. Now, I was a teenager. I didn't know
  • [ __ ] about what was happening in Vietnam, but I felt like I needed to find out. Not just, 'Yes, sir. I'll go.
  • I'll kill them people.' I looked into it and I found out that they were trying to
  • drown the Vietnamese people's liberation struggle in blood. And then I had to
  • say, 'Could I be a part of that?' And I knew if I said no, they'd put my ass in
  • jail. But I was more afraid of the kind of person I would become if I went and
  • played a role in that than I was of jail. And see, that's how we got to look at this and that's how we got to take it
  • to other people. Yes, there is sacrifice involved.
  • Yes, you got to put stuff on the line, but something more important is already
  • on the line. Your very [ __ ] humanity is on the line. Are you going to be the

  • 18:03
  • kind of person who goes down like that? Who rolls along with that?
  • I hope you say no, sisters and brothers, because you don't want to become that kind of person. Uh, there was more I
  • could say, but they cut half of it off. So, I'll see you. I'mma be in DC. I'm live in New York, but I'mma be in DC.
  • Tell them who you are. I'm Carl Dicks. I'm with the RevCom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity. I'm a follower of the Revolutionary
  • Leader Bob Aian. Check out what he's got to say on fascism, Trump maga fascism, what we're
  • really facing, why, and what must be done to defeat it before it's too late. It's up on the website revcom. us, and
  • you can find a lot of other good [ __ ] there, too. Okay,
  • [Music]
  • next up, we're gonna have Cy. Cy, come on up. Cory is a organizer with National Action

  • 19:03
  • Center Network. Sorry, network. I'm sorry, man.
  • And an elected official. And we're so glad to have you with us. From Patterson, New Jersey. Give it up.
  • You know what? As we were walking over here to the White House, I was looking up something in the Declaration of
  • Independence, and it says this. It says, 'But when a long train of abuses and
  • eucyprations pursuing invariably the same object evidences it designed to
  • reduce them under absolute desperatism, it is their right, it is their duty to
  • throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security.' What that basically means when something
  • is wrong, those of us who have the ability to do something about it have the responsibility to do something about
  • it. We got to get this bastard out of the White House. We got to get him out of there.

  • 20:00
  • He's not only a fascist, but we have a man here who has just been given praise by Putin.
  • You can put those dots together. You can see what he's doing. Look what they're trying to do to the homeless
  • right here in DC. It's nothing different. It's nothing different than what the Russians did
  • back in the day when they had that cosmetic design that they wanted to do where the first thing they did was get
  • rid of what they considered was the undesirabs or the people who they thought nobody cared about. So now he's
  • trying to make the homeless look like criminals. It is not a crime to be homeless, but it is a crime for a government to
  • criminalize homeless for being homeless. That's the crime.
  • That's the crime. It's not a crime to not have money, but it's a crime to be in a country that claims to be the
  • richest nation on earth, yet takes money from healthare, takes money from everything that people need and gives it
  • to the 1%. Let's talk about it right now. That's what they're doing right now. There was nothing big and beautiful

  • 21:00
  • about that big, beautiful bill. Absolutely nothing. And we better wake the hell up and
  • understand that what's going on in that White House is not for us. What's going
  • on behind 1600 Pennsylvania Boulevard is not for us. And as long as that man
  • continues to sit in that gold trimmed Oval Office, we're going to continue to keep going through hell.
  • But if you're committed like I'm committed, we're going to hit the streets every goddamn day until this man
  • says, 'You know what? [ __ ] it. I give up. I got to leave. I can't deal with this anymore.'
  • We got to get him out of here. Trump must go now.
  • [Music] [Applause] All right. I want you to make some noise
  • for yourselves, beautiful people.
  • But before we do, but before we do, I want to do two things. One is I'm going

  • 22:04
  • to give the mic back to Lucha for a second, but I do want to make some noise for these people that held this banner.
  • [Music] [Applause] Okay, so we're going to Sam's going to
  • do something with us very quick. We're going to hear Waking Stone lead us in some chants and then we are going to
  • walk back to Dupont Circle.
  • I'm going to ask you to put your this up one more time and repeat after me.
  • In the name In of humanity of humanity,
  • we refuse we refuse we refuse we refuse
  • to accept to accept a fascist America. a fascist America.
