Call to Action: Smash the Hammerskins in Seattle December 6th - Articles - Rose City Antifa

Rose City Antifa - Articles - Rose City Antifa:  Rose City Antifa and allies are calling for antifascists in
the Pacific Northwest to turn out this coming Sunday December 6th to
Cal Anderson Park in Seattle, WA to show the Northwestern Hammerskins that we stand united against fascism and racism.

​The
Northwestern Hammerskins have threatened to march on Capitol Hill in
Seattle, and antifascists must turn out to defend the streets. The
fascist march is planned as part of the annual Martyrs Day
celebrations that the Northwestern Hammerskins are hosting in
remembrance of  Robert Jay Mathews of the white supremacist terror cell,
the Order, who died during a shootout with law enforcement at Whidbey
Island on December 8th 1984. In the past this
event has been a smaller affair held on private property. This year the
NWHS have boasted a larger planned attendance and have announced a more
public appearance, which represents a dangerous escalation of tactics.
We must not allow them to be further emboldened. Particularly in light
of the recent upswell of fascist violence regionally and across the
nation, we must vigorously oppose any effort by fascists to claim space
and spread fear.
