ROCHESTER MN Free America Walkout

MEET AT THE BACK OF THE PARKING LOT AT THE MAIN ATRIUM ENTRANCE OF RCTC! WE WILL WALK DOWN THE PATH IN FRONT OF SPORTS CENTER LOOP AROUND AND BACK UP THE PATH UNTIL 3:00 PM. STAND UP FOR STUDENTS, CITIZENS, AND NONCITIZENS ALIKE. ALL ARE WELCOME. BRING SIGNS, AIRHORNS, AND WARM CLOTHES.

REMINDER THIS IS A PEACEFUL PROTEST AND WE ARE STILL MEETING AT A PLACE OF EDUCATION. BE RESPECTFUL TO OTHERS AND SHOW COLLECTIVE STRENGTH.
 
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. 

2025 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.

On 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. 

★ We walk away from fascism. ★  

★ We walk towards a Free America. ★ 

★ We fight for a future that belongs to us all. ★
