STAND UP TO TRUMP'S FASCISM!

A couple of days ago, we wrote you about Trump’s racist tweet.

Now I’m writing because things have gotten worse.

Last night, at a rally in North Carolina, Trump stood by joyfully as the crowd, in response to false claims he made about U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, bellowed, “Send her back.”

You can’t hear that chant or see a video clip and not be chilled.

Trump is fomenting a fascist movement in this country.

Whatever premeditation went into his initial tweet, Trump’s ongoing attacks against the new women of color members of Congress are now very intentional.

Multiple news reports make clear: His racist demagoguery is going to continue — and get worse.

This will do lasting damage to the country.

This torrent of hate from the president will intensify white resentment and racism.

It will divide people who otherwise could, should and would join together around a progressive agenda.

It will create a climate in which hateful violence is likely to become more frequent and intense.

And it even risks the rise of a serious, violent, fascist movement.

There’s one thing that could really make a difference right now: Republicans could speak out publicly and denounce what Trump is doing.

Sign the petition to the GOP: Condemn Trump’s outrageously racist comments targeting the four new congresswomen.

Together, we will stand against hate and for the values we hold dear.

Time is Running Out...Stand with Our Music Creators

Dear Music Fans,

The summer sun is in full force and so are broadcasters' efforts to recruit supporters to their incredibly misleading resolution: The Local Radio Freedom Act (LRFA).

Though the name might suggest otherwise, LRFA does nothing to protect or support local radio. In reality, it preserves a decades-old subsidy for the multi-billion-dollar radio industry that refuses to pay music creators fairly for their hard work.

Other more innovative and popular platforms like satellite radio and digital streaming services pay artists for the use of their sound recordings. AM/FM radio doesn't.

LRFA is all about protecting broadcasters' bottom lines and we need to make sure Congress knows what's really going on here.

Click here to send a letter to your member of Congress telling him or her to stand with music creators, not the multibillion-dollar radio industry, and keep their name off of LRFA.

If your member has already signed on – we’ve got you covered. You can send a customized letter to say you're disappointed in them for falling for the NAB's rhetoric and taking the side of the multibillion-dollar industry over hard-working artists.

Music creators deserve to be paid fairly for their hard work. Every other major platform pays artists, it's time for radio to do the same.

Thanks,
The musicFIRST Coalition

NEED YOUR URGENT SUPPORT TO DEFEND THE 
VENEZUELAN EMBASSY PROTECTORS

Dear Friend of Peace and Justice,

Embassy Protection Collective (EPC) members stayed in the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, DC for 37 days to protect the Vienna Convention and prevent an escalation of conflict with Venezuela. During that time, EPC members inside were cut off from receiving food, electricity and water. Those who tried to deliver food to them from outside were physically assaulted. All EPC members were subjected to loud noises, strobe lights, harassment, threats and intimidation. On May 16, federal agents raided the embassy and arrested the four remaining EPC members inside.

Four members of the Embassy Protection Collective — Kevin Zeese, Margaret Flowers, David Paul and Adrienne Pine — have been charged with “interfering with protective services" of the federal government. They face up to a year in jail and up to a $100,000 fine. There are also other activists who were arrested outside the Embassy and are now facing trials, including the costs for one EPC member who was severely injured by the pro-coup mob while trying to deliver food.

Your donation will support EPC members who are now facing federal charges by a state with unlimited resources. The government is intent on making an example of EPC members. 

We must be aware that these trials are going to have far-reaching implications that go beyond the issue of the Venezuelan Embassy. A negative outcome could be used to silence any opposition to the government's violations of the law in the future.

We need to raise $50,000 to pay the legal fees for three lawyers who are not court-appointed and to cover costs involved with discovery / information requests and reviewing the data.

With your tax-deductible support, the Embassy Protectors Defense Committee will help the EPC members put forward a strong defense of their actions.

Be an Embassy Protector by donating today. 

Please visit our web site at https://DefendEmbassyProtectors.org to make a tax-deductible donation. And Please accept our sincere thanks for your generous solidarity.

You can also help this important campaign by:

1. Asking your organization to endorse and actively support this campaign.

3. Forwarding this email to the list of your contacts and ask them to distribute it widely.

Thank You.
