ALERT! 2018 National Socialist Movement Conference in Temple, GA
GA 30179
USA
It’s that time of year again. On Hitler’s 129th birthday, his followers will come out to remind everyone why he didn’t live long enough to see his 57th. The National Socialist Movement (NSM) is putting on their conference and rally for 2018 in Temple, Ga. Per their announcement, the opposition is organizing. What the plan for that weekend is still not known as of this time, but it will more than likely go the same way it always goes. There will be some sort of conference the evening of the 20th, and a rally at the local courthouse on the 21st where NSM members and their supporters will stand behind a phalanx of police officers and dare everyone opposing them to cross over and fight that fight. Of course since then Charlottesville has happened and these are the guys that popped all the violence off. So it remains to be seen how stupid they get. The timing could not be better either because the following weekend, Nashville, which is only four hours away, has to deal with the American Renaissance (AmRen) Conference, so basically antifa will be particularly busy that week! So be it!
One People’s Project endorses the action against the NSM Conference. From Atlanta Antifascists:
Oppose the Nazi Rally in Newnan, GA, April 21!
The National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi organization, is having its national meeting in Georgia on April 20-21. While most of the meeting will be in Temple, Georgia (almost certainly at Patrick Lanzo’s Georgia Peach Oyster Bar), the Nazis are also having a public rally in Newnan, Georgia on the afternoon of Saturday, April 21. (Newnan is part of the Metro Atlanta area and is approximately 45 minutes southwest from Atlanta.) The Nazis are expecting 50-100 people to attend their rally at the Greenville Street Park in Newnan.
Neo-Nazis often believe that smaller cities (such as Newnan) will be more receptive to their racist message, and that they can come in and recruit. Let’s show the Nazis that they’re wrong and that they are not welcome!
Gather in downtown Newnan, 2PM, April 21st. Follow Atlanta Antifascists’ social media and the #nonazinewnan hashtag for updates.
Please spread the word! Print and distribute posters (download here) and half-sheet flyers (download here)!
