Before Dick Spencer became the face of the neo-fascism calling itself the “alt-right”, his friend Milo Yiannopoulos had that role. As one of the editors at Breitbart.com he was the writer who gave away the store when he wrote a flowery article about the “alt-right”, putting that spotlight on Breitbart.com for good. He even got banned from Twitter before Spencer was. We could go on for days about all of his stunts of harassing people in the name of fascism, but if people are protesting him you can pretty much surmise that folks know how much of a scumbag he is. That’s why people are opposing him at every college campus he shows up at during his speaking tour, where all he will do is stand on a stage, call people names and leave without teaching anyone anything except hate politics is profitable. This is just one of several places he is scheduled to appear. We have provided links to the opposition that will greet him when he infests a campus.
As America observes the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Weekend, Virginia has other plans. Friday, January 13th is the Virginia State Holiday for Lee-Jackson Day, and Saturday, January 14th is officially recognized as Lee-Jackson Day in Lexington. This is just fine fort he neo-Confederate Virginia Flaggers who want to flag the town of Lexington for action taken by City Council to ban all flags from city light pole flag stands, rather than allow the Confederate Rag to fly for the week leading up to the holiday. They are also pissed at Washington and Lee University, which is in town because they removed the Confederate Rag from Robert E. Lee’s grave on campus and refused to allow the Sons of Confederate Veterans to hold a memorial service in the Lee Chapel. Their plans are tentatively to meet at Stonewall Jackson Cemetery Friday at 10:00 a.m, Saturday at 9:00 a.m. Unfortunately for them, there are others that want to do things differently:
From Workers Assemble
Three “Southern Heritage” groups with white supremacist ties – ACTBAC from Alamance County, the Virginia Flaggers, and League of the South – are coordinating to organize an annual Confederate memorial service in Lexington, VA on January 14, 2017, in retaliation against the MLK Community Parade organized by CARE Rockbridge, an anti-racist organization.
ACTBAC held a rally for Trump on 11.08, has issued threats on social media against a planned mosque, held Confederate memorial rallies at UNC-Chapel Hill, and has had members show up armed at HB2 protests. They are a pro-Confederacy organization that wants to have confederate flags raised on the Interstate. They are likewise the “sister” organization of Citizens of North Carolina Against Relocation of Muslim Refugees. The Virginia Flaggers also want Confederate flags raised on the I-95, and they protested the removal of a confederate memorial in 07.15. The League of the South is an open white-supremacist and neo-confederate organization with ties to the KKK, National Socialist Movement (NSM), and the Traditionalist Worker Party. Matthew Heimbach is also a member of LoS.
We are not going to allow these organizations to march. This is a call out to all #antifa crews, affinity-groups and local chapters to mobilize and #shutitdown.
#WorkersAssemble will be organizing a caravan of #antifa/anti-racist comrades to shut down “Southern Heritage” white-supremacists. We will be assembling a caravan to leave for Lexington at 8:00AM from Durham, NC. It’s time to organize, protect one another, and #fightback. We will be coordinating our caravan with any others that are heading to Lexington.
To coordinate with us, please email us at workersassemble@protonmail
¡No Parasán! Durham is an #Antifa city!
We must state for the record: We are not sure if the Daily Stormer’s Andrew Anglin is actually going to pull of his armed anti-Jewish rally in Whitefish, Montana on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This is a guy who does not make public appearances, only talks trash from behind his computer and has not even filed the application for a permit to rally in Whitefish on that or any day in the near future (we called the city clerk and they confirmed to us that the application had not been received). But screw HIS timetable. Anti-Racist Action isn’t going by that. See, Anglin keeps wanting to be an asshole screwing with people with his Nazi BS from afar, but he is in the Columbus, Ohio area and Columbus is not only the home of one of the strongest chapters of ARA, but it’s also where we called home for a year and a half. To that end antifa is making other plans – zeroing in on his disreputable father Greg who seems to be a kind of silent partner of his son’s and just so happens to own an office building just outside town! So Andrew now has a choice: Go out and posture thousands of miles away from where people back home are calling him and his Daddy out, or stay home and deal with the mess he is making of his life that is now being dealt with in more offline scenarios.
WOMEN’S MARCH ON WASHINGTON- JANUARY 21st, 2017
OFFICIAL STATEMENT, National Organizers
On January 21, 2017 we will unite in Washington, DC for the Women’s March on Washington. We stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families — recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country.
The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized, and threatened many of us–women, immigrants of all statuses, those with diverse religious faiths particularly Muslim, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native and Indigenous people, Black and Brown people, people with disabilities, the economically impoverished and survivors of sexual assault. We are confronted with the question of how to move forward in the face of national and international concern and fear.
In the spirit of democracy and honoring the champions of human rights, dignity, and justice who have come before us, we join in diversity to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore. The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women’s rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us.
We support the advocacy and resistance movements that reflect our multiple and intersecting identities. We call on all defenders of human rights to join us. This march is the first step towards unifying our communities, grounded in new relationships, to create change from the grassroots level up. We will not rest until women have parity and equity at all levels of leadership in society. We work peacefully while recognizing there is no true peace without justice and equity for all. HEAR OUR VOICE.
//////////////////////////
This is an INCLUSIVE march, and EVERYONE who supports women’s rights are welcome.
PLEASE SHARE, we need to spread the word everywhere! And there are groups forming for EVERY STATE, so search for your local group as well!
We especially need HOSTS and ORGANIZERS from marginalized communities for this to be truly inclusive, please DM your state administrator to get involved! ♥

On January 28th, 2017, white power activists intend to host an “Atlanta Forum” conference to bring together regional members of the Alt-Right and other white nationalists. In an attempt to head them off and disrupt their ability to organize in our city, anti-racists request that venues and event spaces in and around Atlanta be vigilant about bookings for this date.
The “Atlanta Forum” event was first mentioned on a Southern white nationalist podcast called The Rebel Yell, which is affiliated with The Right Stuff website. “Atlanta Forum” planning seems to have begun in early September of 2016. The organizers claim they have secured a number of speakers. However, they have not listed the event speakers or the venue where the conference will take place. The event website does provide the following:
- Date of conference (January 28, 2017)
- Time of event (9:00AM – 4:00PM)
- Cost of admission ($20 or $14.88 for students)
- An email address for “TRS Confederates” (who host “The Rebel Yell” podcast)
We ask that anyone who can obtain additional information about the Atlanta Forum, or who has knowledge of suspicious bookings in or near Atlanta on Jan. 28th, contact Atlanta Antifascists:
email: afainatl [at] riseup [dot] net
phone: (470) 344 – 4868 (voicemail only)
Further Details / Context
- The name “The Atlanta Forum” references The London Forum in the U.K., an event series where neo-fascists and members of the “New Right” gather for speeches and networking. This model of pseudo-intellectual speeches coupled with networking has been copied by “The New York Forum” in New York City, a series that is promoted by the racist Counter-Currents Publishing website. A white nationalist “Northwest Forum” had is inaugural meeting in Washington State last year.
- The student admission price ($14.88) for the Atlanta Forum uses white supremacist code. The number 14 stands for the “14 words” – “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” – a racist slogan coined by terrorist David Lane. The number 88 is alphanumeric code for “H.H.” or “Heil Hitler.”
- Atlanta-area “Alt-Right” white nationalists support The Right Stuff website and its projects. One photo of an October “Pool Party” gathering in the metro Atlanta area showed almost two dozen participants; “pool party” is the term The Right Stuff uses for its Alt-Right meetups. Another Alt-Right gathering at Stone Mountain Park showed two organizers wearing “The Right Stuff” shirts. A national post-election propaganda campaign coordinated by The Right Stuff resulted in propaganda posted at Georgia State University, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State University and Augusta University in our state.
Showing Up For Racial Justice, Northern Virginia (SURJ-NOVA), is planning a rally to protest white supremacist Nazi Richard Spencer, who coined the term “Alt Right” and was most recently famous for a viral video where he was punched in the face.
He’s moving to Alexandria Virginia, setting up a home office to spread his genocidal ideas. Fascism is on the rise, and good allies throughout the country are working together to defeat it.
Alexandria should be a sanctuary city for immigrants and refugees, not white supremacy!
Join us to demonstrate support for marginalized communities against the white supremacist hate of Richard Spencer and his National Policy Institute.
Please bring signs expressing support for making Alexandria a sanctuary city and liberating Alexandria from white supremacy.
Hashtags for this event include #sanctuaryALX, #sanctuarycities, #AlexandriaVA, #inclusiveALX, and #dismantlewhitesupremacy.
It seems that Trump supporters are feeling they and the guy they elected president is a little unloved, so they are planning a nationwide event that will give us all the illusion otherwise – at least where there isn’t opposition to it. It’s called “March 4 Trump” and the attempt is to hold a rally or something in as many cities as possible to, as Steve Bannon’s old haunt Breitbart put it according to the Inquisitr, “to thwart ‘hardcore progressive leftists that have been marching against President Trump and his appointments.’” Yeah, well good luck with that. We will make an alert for each locality we see scheduled, with pertinent information concerning each, especially if opposition announces a counter-demo.
Yes, this is at Trump’s resort. It’s a pro-Trump rally. And if some of his supporters actually knew how to read, they would leave posts on the Facebook page for this rally like this:

This particular rally in Phoenix is going to be special because Ex-Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce will be among the speakers. He is not one of Arizona’s favorite people, given how he likes to hobknob with neo-Nazis like the late J.T. Ready and peddle information from the neo-Nazi National Alliance. He’s an Ex-Senator because in 2011 he was the first legislator in Arizona history to be so removed from office via a recall election.

The one in Berkeley is going to be special because it is more of a march for Milo Yiannopoulos, who was chased out of there by antifa in January. This event is being put together by the Proud Boys, the group founded by Vice co-founder, Fox News regular and neo-Fascist Gavin McInnes as “Western chauvinists who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world.” They are particularly pissed about how Milo was routed in Berkeley, so they are using this event to throw a temper tantrum about it.
