One week away from the election, it’s more clear than ever that the “choice” between a proven war criminal and a fascist patriarch is no choice at all. As we’ve been saying, the change we need is not on the ballot! World Can’t Wait is looking beyond next Tuesday — we’re in the streets now telling people now more than ever it’s up to us to stop the suffering that this government has and is inflicting on the rest of the world.
NO to Trump and NO to Clinton! Neither will stop the wars — it’s up to us to put humanity and the planet first!
In that context, we also have to ask, what kind of system acquits the armed white supremacist Bundy Militia but brutalizes and arrests hundreds of indigenous people acting to protect their water supply from the DAPL oil pipeline? The same illegitimate system which Hillary Clinton is likely to come to rule over, even as she and her party state they would accept a Trump presidency were he to be elected. This is madness, and this situation cries out for people of conscience to speak up loudly for the people of the world who have no say in what direction this country goes in.
