\u201cIn the name of humanity, we refuse a fascist America,\u201d speakers encouraged others to mobilize. But pedestrians passing by showed mixed reactions to the group, with expressions of support and criticism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a political game. &#8230;This is not red versus blue.\u201d&#8221; said Ted Sirota, a member of Refuse Fascism Chicago. \u201cWe say at Refuse Fascism \u2014 Humanity First, not \u2018America First.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the speakers at the rally, Mark Masi, founded a chapter of Refuse Fascism in suburban Arlington Heights. Masi said he joined Refuse Fascism after the hearings for the nominations of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh spurred him to action. He said he found the group shared his concerns about the current state of politics.<\/p>\n<p>Masi said he is concerned for America\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have someone in power who\u2019s acting above the Constitution [and] trying to act around the laws [while] stirring up people against certain groups,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said he believes voting is not enough, even after a \u201cblue wave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concern is when we see fascism, it can come in through normal processes. [It] often takes more than normal processes to get it out, to get people to really influence Congress and politicians,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We\u2019re influencing those watching us [in] the country [and] the world, but also those sitting in Congress to act more quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the protesters marched up State Street, they paused several times to give people in the protest a chance to speak and to pass out flyers to curious passers-by. As the group approached the ABC7 building, they stopped to discuss Trump\u2019s attacks on the media.<\/p>\n<p>Along the route of the march, protesters shared their reasons for organizing. Marge Parsons, a volunteer with Refuse Fascism, said she had had enough of the recent violence in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd you can see it just in the past week[s], you know, people murdered in a synagogue. Black people murdered in Kentucky [and Trump] sending troops to the [Mexican] border. How much worse does it have to get?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people can stop it. I\u2019m a veteran of the 60s. We forced Nixon to resign,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cIt can be done, but it takes people getting out of their comfort zones and into the streets.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Activist Lucha Bright (center) from Revolution Club Chicago chants while marching up State Street during Saturday\u2019s protest.
