AIF-MassachusettsIf you are in need of study materials on antifascism, check out our national group's resources page!<a href="https://www.ironfrontusa.org/resources" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ironfrontusa.org/resources</a>The first resource is a slide show on white supremacist/alt-right extremist iconography. This is by no means a comprehensive list but it's a good introduction to get you recognizing some of the more common white power symbols that you might see.Another one we recommend is "40 Ways to Fight Fascism" by Spencer Sunshine, which is a fantastic compendium of suggestions and advice on countering fascists on your home turf.Crash course on alt-Right iconography here: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/12zk0v_4iF3wuuSrK2lhFaKklWw_Z0i72" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/file/d/12zk0v_4iF3wuuSrK2lhFaKklWw_Z0i72</a>40 Ways to Fight Fascists link here: <a href="https://spencersunshine.com/2020/08/27/fortyways/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://spencersunshine.com/2020/08/27/fortyways/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IronFrontUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IronFrontUSA</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIronFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIronFront</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnitedStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a>

AIF-MassachusettsShout-out to our Iron Front USA friends in Arizona who joined the protest today in Phoenix. :ironfront: <a href="https://azmirror.com/2025/02/05/veterans-activists-unite-in-arizonas-50501-protest-against-trump-musk-and-project-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://azmirror.com/2025/02/05/veterans-activists-unite-in-arizonas-50501-protest-against-trump-musk-and-project-2025/</a>If you're in another part of the country but wish you could join a group like us, good news! We have folks all over the US and we support each other. You don't have to fight fascism alone, wherever you are. If we're not your style, we are happy to point you in the direction of other groups to get involved with. What is important is that you find a way to fight that works for you. We especially love the quote at the end of the linked article: “If you feel frustrated, don’t stay frustrated on the internet,” Duba said. “Get out and do something, meet people, talk to people, get involved in a campaign.”<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIronFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIronFront</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IronFrontUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IronFrontUSA</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PhoenixAZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhoenixAZ</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Phoenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Phoenix</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arizona</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Phx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Phx</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/50501protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#50501protest</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/50501movement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#50501movement</a>

AIF-MassachusettsNot so fun fact: the first concentration camp in Nazi Germany was for Hitler's political opponents.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler's_rise_to_power" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler's_rise_to_power</a>You can either fight now or lose your chance to fight forever. You need to know your neighbors and where they stand. You need networks of people you can trust. You need to be prepared to live in a fascist dictatorship where the military is under the control of a racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, antisemitic extremist. You need to be able to protect its victims. We don't have time to wait and see what happens. History is repeating itself and if we don't act now it will continue repeating itself. The United States needs YOU to act. Your neighbors need YOU. Now is not the time to sit this out.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckNazis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIronFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIronFront</a>

AIF-MassachusettsIf you want to resist fascism in your local community, we're here. I know we don't post much, but that's because there are only a few of us and we're busy getting out in the world and doing work.

AIF-MassachusettsSomewhere in California. Thanks to our friends and comrades for spreading the word. :ironfront: If you haven't figured out how you want to show up against fascism in the United States, might we suggest joining a group of like-minded people who hate Nazis, Neo-nazis, christofascists, state-sponsored fascists (looking at you, police :pig_cop: ), white supremacists, and all the other alt-right garbage that exists out there? Or join another anti-fascist group! We won't be offended. The important part is to get out there and start making fascists feel uncomfortable.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Antifascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifascist</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckNazis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIronFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIronFront</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IronFrontUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IronFrontUSA</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AIFMassachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIFMassachusetts</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifa</a>

AIF-MassachusettsWe are very frustrated and saddened to see certain organizations in Boston, most recently the Boston May Day coalition, continuing to allow their members to express transphobic views without consequence. This is unacceptable, as is allowance of any bigoted or hateful speech. Unfortunately, this is not the first time our members have encountered transphobia apologist behavior in leftist movements.We will not tolerate groups that allow hateful speech towards our trans siblings. It doesn't matter if you're Nazis or leftists, if you're condoning hate then we have no common ground.We would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm that AIF Massachusetts does not work with groups that tolerate hateful speech and we encourage other groups not to as well. We believe that bigotry and hate should have no place in an anti-fascist movement not just because it is morally wrong but because it is counter to our mission. Fascism feeds on sectarianism, hate, and "othering" of people who are not the majority. For this reason racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, and all other 'isms' are dangerous to the anti-fascist mission.Either we all smash fascism together or we're just trading down for a more niche brand of fascism.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIronFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIronFront</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransRights</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Boston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Boston</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Massachusetts</a>

AIF-MassachusettsThis weekend some of our members in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CambridgeMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CambridgeMA</a> delivered food, drinks, and hygiene supplies to the community fridge in Harvard Square. We weren't the only ones, either! Other community members brought food in take out containers, single serve yogurts, and much more.We seem to be the only ones who bring wound care supplies to the pantry, so we will plan to focus a larger portion of our resources on that going forward and possibly expand to large wound care kits. If you'd like to help us buy medical supplies for this or our other distros around Massachusetts, our Cashapp is $aifmedic. Each small wound care kit is $1.60 so any amount helps!<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Massachusetts</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Harvard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Harvard</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIronFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIronFront</a>

AIF-MassachusettsAnother distribution of medical supplies this evening with the Worcester Youth Cooperative. Tonight, several Wound Care Kits, bandaid packs, and Iodent oral anesthetic gel were delivered for distribution to our houseless neighbors in the city. In the ever growing climate of hostility towards the most vulnerable among us, we must all step up to support and protect them. Anti-fascism is not just about facing down nazis in the street, or tearing down their propaganda. It’s also about helping those negatively affected by fascism and its policies.Fascism is an ideology of hatred, discrimination, and violence. It is the duty of all Americans to resist this cancerous belief, and to support all who are harmed by it.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Worcester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Worcester</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Massachusetts</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorcesterYouthCooperative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorcesterYouthCooperative</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIronFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIronFront</a>

AIF-MassachusettsHave you considered joining an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antifascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antifascist</a> organization but just haven't gotten around to it? It's always a great day to take the first step!<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIronFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIronFront</a> is an organization that opposes fascist attacks on our democracy. We are anti-fascist, anti-racist, and anti-authoritarian. We look towards a day when our country can be a place of hope and acceptance for everyone, not just the privileged few. Oh, and we fucking hate neo-Nazis. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fuckNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fuckNazis</a>If you're tired of watching the state give neo-Nazis and white supremacists special treatment over and over again, this call is for you. If you worry about how the USA is descending deeper and deeper into fascism, this call is for you. If the idea of Nazis in the US makes your blood boil, this call is for you. The police are not going to protect us from fascists because their ranks are full to brimming with fascist sympathizers. Ignoring the fascists will not make them go away either. It's past time for Americans to take up the fight against authoritarian and fascist rule in their own communities. If you love your country, it's time to stand up and fight to make it better.

AIF-Massachusetts<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIronFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIronFront</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Massachusetts</a> was part of a coalition of community groups that gathered in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FallRiverMA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FallRiverMA</a> to protect attendees and presenters at a Drag Story Hour. The event was joyful, the kids had fun, and the Gothfather was fabulous. Fall River Pride Committee should be ✨so✨ proud for running such a wonderful event. :better_pride: Meanwhile, the New England neo-Nazi group NSC-131 stood outside the library and hurled slurs at LGBTQ and Jewish people while making the Nazi salute and intimidating passers-by. At one point they stormed the library and pounded on the front doors.Community defenders shielded children and parents with our bodies and distracted them with jokes and silly stories so they could feel safe and have fun on their way to and from the event. Overall there were at least 30 neo-Nazis and proud boys there to intimidate 10-15 children and their parents for attending a story hour. It's shameful these groups feel comfortable acting this way, and we won't stand for it. Nazis have no place in our Commonwealth.If you've been thinking of getting into community defense, if you can't tolerate Nazis in your community, if you're thinking to yourself "this is completely unacceptable," the time for action is NOW. Get involved. This is our responsibility. This is something we must do to keep our community safe.The police are not going to do this for us. We have to stand up to the Nazis ourselves. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckNazis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WeProtectUs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeProtectUs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityDefense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityDefense</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antifascism</a>

AIF-Massachusetts<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Massachusetts</a> may be a deep blue state, but the fact remains that we are one of the most active states for the white supremacist group Patriot Front.
