Lucas, a racist, fascist bigot will take the oath of office as the 45th
President of the United States on Jan. 20.
Now more than ever, Democrats in Congress must step up and lead the resistance
against the Trump regime.
Sign the petition from CREDO and Daily Kos to Democrats in Congress: Skip
the inauguration of hate.
Trump is appointing a leadership team whose values align with his dark
and dangerous promises. His pick for attorney general was deemed too racist
for a federal judgeship by members of his own party. His future national
security adviser traffics in anti-Muslim bigotry. His nominee for treasury
secretary is a Goldman Sachs executive, and his transition team is loaded
with corporate lobbyists. At least three of his cabinet picks have been
accused of domestic violence.
Members of his crony cabinet are already making plans to destroy Medicare
and attack Social Security. And in
the first 100 days of his administration, Trump plans to deport millions of immigrants, roll
back environmental protections, empower states to escalate attacks on
reproductive healthcare and more.
A true progressive response to the Trump administration will unconditionally
resist his bigoted and racist policies without compromise.
Tell Democrats in Congress: Skip the inauguration of hate.
Democrat Rep. Luis Gutierrez has already
refused to legitimize Trump’s bigotry and hate by attending the inauguration:
"I cannot go to (the) inauguration of a man who's going to appoint people to the Supreme Court and turn back the clock on women, and turn back the clock on immigrants, and the safety and freedom that we fought for them."
Democrats have a choice: They can either champion progressive values, stand
up to Trump’s hate and refuse to attend the inauguration, or they
can attend the inauguration, normalize Trump’s bigotry and stand
idly by while he sets his dangerous agenda in motion.
This is not the time for compromise or decorum.
Speak out now. Urge Democratic leaders to send a clear message of resistance
by refusing to attend the inauguration. Sign the petition.
Thank you for speaking out,
