C'mon, sing it! The man who shot Tiny Toese He shot Tiny Toese He was the bravest of them all... And very shortly he'll be released from prison! So the International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund put some money together to thank him for his service defending the community and to help him transition back to the world! Story in link above; maybe you'd like to assist the Defence Fund with helping out other anti-fascist heroes in a tight spot?

GREAT NEWS! Krystsina “Kita” Charankova (aka Kristina Cherenkova), a Belarusian anti-fascist arrested by the dictatorship in 2022 for allegedly criticizing said dictatorship & their support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has just been released from prison! We wish her all the best!

What happens when you defend a drag show from the armed transphobes who threatened to murder attendees? In Texas, first you get arrested on bullshit charges, then a "Christian fascist fraternity" sues you for violating their "right" to attack drag queens and their fans. When two people facing this situation contacted the International Anti-Facist Defence Fund, we stepped in to help them with their legal costs, because we have the backs of anyone willing to protect people from transphobic violence. You should too, here's how: Chris' crowdfunder Aeshna's crowdfunder If you also think that having a standing fund to come to the aid of anti-fascists in emergency situations like this = a good idea, you should contribute to that fund right here!

reposting other people's fliers, art, and PSAs without credit isn't very based of you

We're happy to credit artists whenever we know who the artists are. Fliers & PSAs don't tend to be things that groups who put them out ask for explicit author credit when they're shared, but if a group asks for that, we're also happy to do that. If there's a specific post you're referring to, why don't you tell us which one and who the artist is?

Solidarity, not hate! Demonstration against far-right NSV. Antwerp. Thursday 25 April. 19h Dageraadplaats

NSV, the unofficial student association of Vlaams Belang, wants to march in Antwerp on the 25th of April. This is a threat to immigrants, people of colour, LGBTQIA+ persons and everyone else who does not fit into their ideas of white elitism. The NSV only lost their status in Leuven after a racist hate meeting with Van Langenhove. NSV and VB feel strong because of their high scores in the polls. Thus, they bring out their racism, sexism and queerphobia even more brutally, with words regularly followed by actions. As more and more people struggle to survive, both financially and mentally, the far right goes into the offensive against all those who resist oppressions.

Before corona, every year there was an NSV demonstration, but the counter-demonstration was always bigger. Every time the Nazionalist (their flag consists of the NS /Nazi flag and a Flemish lion) Student Association organises a march, other students are harassed on campus or while going out based on their origin or their orientation, often with violence. Each time, the NSV demonstration brings together convicted neo-Nazis with VB leaders (Filip Dewinter and Tom Van Grieken are former members).

Anti-fascist protests limit the space they are given; without the various actions in Leuven, the NSV would not have lost their status. In Antwerp, too, we want to give a voice to all those who stand up against the threat of the far right with a demonstration. NSV claims that "the Flemish youth" is on their side; with a much larger counter-demonstration, we will knock down that argument. Against the hatred of the extreme right, we place a strong message of solidarity. In doing so, we also go against the VB's feeding ground: a society where more and more people are excluded and are pushed to fear each other.

We will ensure that our demonstration goes through safely without confrontation with the NSV demonstration. Show your solidarity and walk with us in our anti-NSV demonstration. We will meet at 19:00 Dageraadplaats

Happy 126th birthday to all-around hero Paul Robeson!

It's almost as if as society becomes more inclusive and accepting of people who aren't necessarily cis/het, people who aren't cis/het feel safer to simply exist as their true selves in society. Hmm.

March 28, London - Free West Papua

Horrifying footage has emerged of a group of Indonesian soldiers torturing a West Papuan man. Join us this Thursday outside the Indonesian Embassy to protest this crime against humanity and the military occupation that produced it. Torture is so commonplace in West Papua that it has been described as a ‘mode of governance’. This incident only made the news because the soldiers filmed themselves kicking, punching, and slashing their victim; every year, untold numbers of West Papuans suffer the same fate without the world ever finding out. Indonesia’s sense of impunity is aided by unquestioning Western government support and a sixty-year media blackout brutally imposed by the occupying forces. Come along this Thursday to show your solidarity with West Papuans.
