The AFN is not SUTR/UAF. We are a network of independent, autonomous and grassroots groups in the community, utilising shared resources and platforms like this one. We don't work with the police, ever. Start or join a local group, be part of the network.

Today's anti-fascist unity demo, led by a militant feminist bloc, outnumbered and blocked the DFLA march, forcing the police to delay, kettle and reroute them.
This was a massive turning of the tide against the far-right.
Thank you everyone!

If you live in a city where the turnout is incredible, that is amazing. You still need to get organised so that a) your community stays that way and b) to support other towns and cities, where things aren't quite as easy.

When white supremacists come to town to attack "antifa" and the whole city turns out to oppose them, and the President parrots the fascists' line, he's not talking about "both sides" anymore. He's chosen a side.

Mostly good news today as large crowds outnumbered the racists from Newquay to Nottingham.

This is a critical moment.
Tommy Robinson has called a 'Brexit Betrayal' march in London on Sun 9th Dec. A racist hate-monger like Robinson cannot be allowed to foment a right-wing backlash with himself at the front of it.

Calling the fascists attacking Muslim, black and brown people in the streets 'uneducated', 'unemployed' or as the BBC likes to say, 'pro British/anti immigration protesters' is not accurate or useful. They are fascists, of all walks of life, and they must be stopped.

The UK has been absolutely ravaged by austerity, and immigrants have been used as the scapegoat. The cuts to education, health etc. mean basic human needs aren't met. Talk about this, not about racists being ugly or 'uneducated'. /1

Good thread on how Nazi Germany slid slowly towards the holocaust. It didn't start there. It started with the same stuff we're seeing today - demonising minority groups, putting them on lists, restricting their freedom... A gradual ratcheting up, which no one opposed.
The men who enabled the Holocaust weren't born zealots or monsters.
They'd simply grown up against a background of rising hatred. They were told they were the victims, that rheir culture was being overrun.
They believed a guy when he said he'd Make Germany Great Again.

Fascist demos help them recruit. Antifascists must stop or at least disrupt far right marches. The police facilitate fascist marches. Just bc an antiracist group has a megaphone, they can't make you protest somewhere more convenient for the cops. Start a grassroots group.
