Join us in demanding congress #ImpeachNow!

Our Democracy is in grave danger, and Congress needs to hear from the people before they return to DC after their second undeserved recess. #VigilForDemocracy ?

This is a peaceful First Amendment Assembly, in solidarity with simultaneous events nationwide. We want to showcase our support for Congress returning to DC at a uniquely dangerous time in our nation's history, and encourage the House to #ImpeachNOW!

Please wear or carry RED, the #ColorOfLove! We want to reclaim the color from hate-monger Trump and his supporters.

RALLY SPEAKERS & ACTIONS:

Emceeing is Michael Gene Sullivan, actor/singer/ activist/internationally produced playwright, and Collective Member of the always radical, never silent San Francisco Mime Troupe. We will have music, rousing chants, and short performances.

1. Lea Jones, producer of Hang On, Ruthie! will be traveling from Oregon to perform his hit original in support of Justice RBG. We're looking for individual singers or a local choral group willing to show up in black robes/long dresses and home-made lace "dissent collars" to accompany them for the interactive parts. Please email vigilfordemocracy1 [at] gmail.com if you're interested.

2. Regina Fletcher, the comedian who does Regina Monologues, will be entertaining us on the topic of the first amendment, with riffs about Justice Ginsburg as well.

3. Dr. Amy S. Morgenstern, known as the Feminist Devil, will lead us in chants and speak about what we risk daily under this administration.

4. We will stage a huddle under mylar blankets to showcase the children and families being detained in inhumane conditions at our border.

Simultaneous Spanish translation will be provided.

Pro Bono Photo will be covering the event with their stellar professional photography.

VOLUNTEER:

If you would like to volunteer at the event, or be more involved with the struggle to protect democracy, please email vigilfordemocracy1 [at] gmail.com. We still need a few peacekeepers, minders for the Trump chicken, as well as casual photography and video, live-streaming, live tweeting. No experience necessary; quick instructions will be provided.

(After this event, if you want to be inspired some more, please head over to St. Paul's Towers in Oakland to a lecture by Pennie Opal Plant, lifelong activist and indigenous grandmother. It's titled "Let Us Save The World Together"!! 2-4PM, 100 Bay Pl, Oakland)

by Impeach Trump & Abolish the Military
As you encourage the impeachment of Nazi Trump as you should, you will be experiencing the horrific noise of the Navy’s Blue Death flying illegally low over heavily populated San Francisco wasting tax dollars and oil for a military recruiting show that is part of the military’s Columbus Genocide 4-day celebrations known as Fleet Week. This illegal horrific 4 day nightmare, occurring between 12 noon and 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, October 10-13, 2019, has been brought to us by the Democratic Party of San Francisco since 1980, when then mayor Dianne Feinstein invited the military to strafe our city to promote the military, and every mayor since then, all Democrats, has invited the military to our city to do the same. Both the Democrats and Republicans proudly support the war machine. Only Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party oppose the war machine.

When you see the military walking around, mostly the navy, with some marines, air force and army, you can chant “Don’t fight the bosses’ war; fight the bosses here at home, organize labor.” The workingclass members of the military joined the military for a better life, instead of doing labor organizing, which is the only way they will win a better life. To the officers, who are always dressed in fancy uniforms courtesy the taxpayers, tell them to stop killing the people of the world, leave the military and abolish the military.

To everyone around you, as they fly illegally overhead making it almost impossible to hear or think, you can point to these murder machines and chant “That’s why we’re so poor; we can’t have guns and butter.”

There can be no democracy and no clean environment so long as the military exists as it only exists to maximize the profits of the oil companies and the munitions makers. The military is exempt from all environmental regulations and is the biggest polluter and biggest user of oil. The name of the game is money; that is why we need to abolish the private profit system.

Bush II started the neverending Afghanistan War and then Iraq War II. Trump is an1950s fuddy-dutty but not a nazi like Pence. Trump has started NO new wars.
