SUMMARY:Eastside Tucson Free America Walkout
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n“One year into Trump’s second regime\, we face an escalating fascist threat: raids on our communities\, troops occupying our cities\, attacks on immigrants\, families torn apart\, mass surveillance\, and terror used to keep us silent.  It is time for our communities to escalate as well.  \n\n\n\n2025 was a year of marches that showed our collective strength. And as the threats grow\, our movement must evolve and escalate. Trump and his allies have already made clear that a second term would bring a deeper wave of misogyny\, racism\, xenophobia\, and violence than the first. \n\n\n\nOn January 20\, we call on our communities to organize teams\, call your neighbors and classmates\, and turn your back and walk out on fascism. Host mutual aid planning meetings\, organize public service\, but walk out to block the normal routines of power\, and make the stakes real. This is a protest and a promise.  In the face of fascism\, we will be ungovernable.Important Details:This event will take place in front of the Eastside City Hall/Ward 2 Office located at 7820 E Broadway Blvd. If there are enough people\, we can also move out to cover all four corners of Broadway and Pantano. In any case\, the event will start at the Eastside City Hall/Ward 2 Office. It will last from 3:30-5:30pm. Parking is avalible at the Eastside City Hall and adjacent shopping centers along Broadway and Pantano. For parking on site\, turn in off of Broadway at Camp Bowwow\, and go behind it\, which should take you to the parking lot of the Ward 2 Office. Eastsiders\, let’s show this fascist regime we demand an end to the raids and cruelty! Make sure to bring a friend or relative and share the event on social media before tommorow\, if you can! \n\n\n\n★ We walk away from fascism. ★  \n\n\n\n★ We walk towards a Free America. ★ \n\n\n\n★ We fight for a future that belongs to us all. ★ \n\n\n\n★ Everybody in\, nobody out. ★  \n\n\n\n★ Welcome to the Free America Walkout ★”
