AmCon,

In light of the death of RBG, many opposition forces have begun to be emboldened. Here is an excerpt from the group themselves:

"(RBG's)...passing intensifies the urgent need to get in the streets to drive out the Trump/Pence regime as we speed toward an election that is being stolen. The outpouring of grief over her death comes with an existential dread of what we face. We must stop the Trump/Pence regime from changing the form of rule into one of fascist terror; cementing a pro-fascist majority on a court that has already begun to erode women’s right to birth control and abortion, legalize discrimination against LGBTQ people, sabotage voting rights, eviscerate the separation of church and state and usher in white supremacist, Christian theocratic control. The Nazi regime remade the courts in the same way, so that by the time they were rounding up people, much of their heinous actions were perfectly legal.
Millions have hoped that the normal channels can stop the danger of the Trump/Pence regime. But those norms are being incinerated, those channels turn into dead ends. We, who ache at this moment must take the future into our own hands, mobilizing a mass protest movement that fills the public squares across the country to demand the removal of this fascist regime and not stop until our demand is met. With so much at stake, we cannot wait for November to act"
