Mi Familia Vota!
Donald Trump is dangerous.
His campaign mobilizes right wing – anti immigrant forces. Trump’s campaign is not just racism- it's a strategy to magnify racism to win the election -and we
must defeat it !
We need to develop strategies to defeat Donald Trump. Trump has shown he can and will mobilize
extreme right-wing racists forces in our society. He is anti Mexican, anti immigrant, and anti
Muslim.
We develop this campaign as a specific effort to implement
Talking Point #2 as listed by the DSA NPC in their May meeting.
“2. Organize against a Trump victory
DSA believes that a Donald Trump presidency would represent
a victory for the most reactionary nativist, misogynist, Islamophobic and
racist forces in the country. A Trump administration would bring immediate harm
to many people and would create conditions hostile to organizing for
progressives. Therefore, DSA will work with the emerging labor, immigrant, and
anti-racist-led “Dump Trump” movement. For this reason, we do not endorse the
#BernieOrBust tactic, though we understand the sentiment behind it. Our perspective
can best be summarized as: “Dump the Racist Trump: Build the Left from the
Grassroots Up.”
See the complete
list here: http://www.dsausa.org/talking_points_for_dsa_s_electoral_work_dl
We need to attend to racism and recognize its role because others (Democratic Party types) will
do much less, or they will use video clips to reveal his racism but not build a
left organization based upon defeating Trump.
If we do not raise the racism/terrorism issues, then DSA ‘s work will
continue to reflect primarily the Anglo community and we would miss an
important opportunity to build a multiracial left. See. http://www.dsausa.org/trump_racism_and_the_left_dl
We have developed a working plan for individuals to
coordinate their work in defeating Trump and attacking racism. The campaign includes working together to:
1.
Targeted voter registration of Latino voters.
2.
Editor’s note: Donald
Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who
has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire
religion — from entering the U.S.
