Support SHUT DOWN TRUMP!

Donation protected
Many thousands of people across the country, especially young people, are set to converge in Cleveland this week to demonstrate their outrage against racist billionaire Donald Trump.  Activists from Wisconsin, Illinois, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and from across the entire country are mobilizing delegations for Sunday’s (July 17) Shut Down Trump and the RNC  march.

This march will open the resistance to Trump’s racist, anti-immigrant, Islamophobic, anti-LGBTQ and anti-worker campaign. Dozens of organizations and thousands of individuals will join the Shut Down Trump march. A focus of the march will be to expose the of the Cleveland Police Department’s racist murders, which have galvanized the Black Lives Matter Movement, while connecting this with the police restrictions of civil rights of protesters during the convention.

Currently we have organizers on the ground in Cleveland who are making a last minute push to help build this historic demo possible. We need your help to make the final push.

Your donations will go to support:
-Transportation from across the US
-Airbeds, tents and other accommodations for demonstrators and organizers
-Signs, placards, and flyers
-Water for marchers
-Emergency Fund
-So much more!

Please share our event! 

See you in the streets!,

Trump’s candidacy is drawing the most reactionary elements of the capitalist class to Cleveland for the RNC July 18 to 21. Their agenda is war, racism, raids and austerity.

In mid July thousands of activists from across the country who have mobilized to shut down Trump’s vicious agenda will join hands with people of Cleveland who are determined to resist the right-wing RNC extravaganza.

We urge support and unity for all the actions protesting Trump and the RNC – from the weekend People’s Convention to the Monday Dump Trump protest as the RNC opens, to all resistance through out the week.

Cleveland is notorious for racist police murders. Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson, Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams are only the latest Black people murdered by the Cleveland Police Dept. Cleveland police will gain a vast new arsenal to be goons for Trump and the RNC and will continue to use these mega-weapons in their war on the Black community. This too we will protest.

But we must go beyond protest. We need fundamental change! We need organization, unity and fightback against this whole criminal capitalist system, independent of the two big capitalist parties.

Whichever party wins, the super rich remain in power. Now both capitalist parties are torn by contradictions. Yet each party plans to spend $1.5 billion for campaigns that hide the truth of our dying cities, poisoned water, mass incarceration, low wages, raids on immigrants, climate change and police terror. Both parties are committed to expanding NATO, aid to Israel, spending trillions on endless wars and bailing out the banks.

Young people are confronting Trump, everywhere he goes. Let's continue this heroic resistance. Let’s open the days of street protests during the RNC with a mass march against Trump and the RNC on Sunday, July 17.
