The the so-called (and frankly, misnamed) “alt-right” has been making a name for itself with this year’s Presidential election season, and folks want to know more about who these characters are and where they come from since they want to make themselves a part of the mainstream so much they are contributing to art shows this weekend. So since we have been going after this crowd since before One People’s Project even began, DLJ has been making the media rounds over the past few months basically trying to catch people up to what we have been seeing all these years. He makes one of those rounds on Friday, when he makes an appearance on the Karen Hunter Radio Show.
In the past few months, there has been an uptick in fascist propaganda in the Seattle area. Predominantly in the form of posters and stickers, but including graffiti and physical confrontations, local fascists affiliated with American Renaissance, Identity Evropa and The Right Stuff seem to be trying to spread their propaganda across many neighborhoods in Seattle. We began receiving emails with pictures and accounts of physical confrontations and have been mapping these out for the past couple of months. If you are the Pacific Northwest and see something, please feel free to (safely) document and email to us at antifa206 (at) riseup (dot) net. If you are outside of the Pacific Northwest, hopefully this project serves as some inspiration for creative work for other antifascist networks.

Using archival materials, 206 Carlton brings together a story of racism and resistance in the city of Toronto, through focusing on one address, one house. At the center of this story is Ernst Zundel, a former resident of 206 Carlton Street, and internationally infamous Holocaust denier. From this downtown Victorian townhouse he spread hate materials that found their way to the hands of hateful groups around the world.
