Dear friends,
In a way never seen before on this side of the world our country is facing a growing movement of fascism. The epidemic of vitriol from Tim McVeigh, Don Black, and Eric Harris to Brenton Tarrant and Charlottsville will not end with Patrick Crusius. The idea that can no longer be dealt with by simply calling these people terrorists.
Authoritarian figures are now leading some of the largest countries in the world, USA, Russia, China, Brazil, Hungary, Italy, Turkey, the Philippines, and others. The European project is faltering in the hands of a monetarist leadership and the centrifugal forces have resulted in the Brexit chaos that has enveloped the UK.
It’s time that a US leader calls for a general mobilization of the compassionate and the enlightened to march to the White House and peacefully confront the enablers of white nationalists. We marched against the war in Iraq and we marched for women’s rights. Isn’t it time that a US leader calls for such a mobilization?
