Refuse Fascism is a project fiscally sponsored by Alliance for Global Justice that seeks the overthrow of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, asserting that the Trump administration functions as a “fascist regime.” The group has been associated with organizing demonstrations against President Trump’s inauguration as part of the “Disrupt J20” movement,[1] orchestrating demonstrations against Milo Yiannopolous which devolved into rioting,[2] and planning marches and occupations to last until President Trump and Vice President Pence leave office.[3] The group has endorsed extremist positions, including appearing to defend North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.[4]
The group has been present at many Antifa demonstrations, and co-founder Sunsara Taylor has refused to condemn violent protest as a legitimate means of communicating the organization’s message. The group is an offshoot of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).
