Donald Trump is inaugurated president on January 20, with the bedrock of
his MAGA movement being racism. His administration will be an offensive of
white supremacy, of eliminating memory of black history, of fighting
diversity, of rolling back civil rights and negating the civil rights
movement. Resistance must be built, and like in the time of Martin Luther
King this is going to be a protracted and self-sacrificing struggle. Also
like that time, it will take place beside other struggles. That's because
the Trump agenda also includes things like the following: Denying women
their reproductive rights. A "drill, baby, drill" energy policy that will
further increase global heating. Causing more illnesses, injuries and
deaths by tearing up regulations that hinder profit-making. Giving massive
tax breaks to the parasitical billionaires while slashing benefits for the
poor and working people. Continuing U.S. support for Israel's genocidal
slaughter of the Palestinian people. And massive deportations of our
undocumented fellow workers and students, friends and neighbors "from Day
One." Thus, the necessity for organizing mass resistance to Trump's entire
reactionary offensive. This leaflet addresses two immediate items on it.
The SWV leaflet continues with the following subheads:
- Defend the immigrants!
- No more aid to Israel!
- The need for an independent movement
