WATCH: NYC Activists Launch 'Month of Resistance' Against Trump/Pence Presidency

EAST VILLAGE, NY — In response to the Electoral College's vote Monday, in which Donald Trump was officially elected the country's next president, activists gathered at the Cooper Union college campus (7 East 7th St.) around 7 p.m. for an "emergency organizing meeting" for a new anti-Trump movement taking hold.

The new movement is called Refuse Fascism, and its goal is to stage a "month of resistance" to "prevent the Trump/Pence regime from taking power."

In order to avert "an illegitimate fascist regime of grave danger,” Refuse Fascism called for "diverse and growing waves of protest and resistance beginning on December 19th, reaching a crescendo by the January 20, 2017 Inauguration.”

Monday night's speakers included the hip-hop artist and activist Immortal Technique; author and founding senior editor of The Intercept, Jeremy Scahill; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member Chase Iron Eyes, who Skyped in from North Dakota; and more. (Video above.)

“Donald Trump, the President-elect, is assembling a regime of grave danger," the group wrote on its event page. “Should we fail to rise with determination and daring in our millions now to stop this, the consequences for humanity will be disastrous."
