Anti-Fascist Action

Anti-Fascist Action, often abbreviated as Antifa, is a movement that opposes fascism and extreme right-wing ideologies. Emerging in the early 20th century, it comprises diverse groups and individuals who advocate for social justice, equality, and anti-racism. Antifa activists often engage in protests, direct action, and community organizing to counter perceived threats from neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other far-right groups. The movement is characterized by its decentralized structure and a range of tactics, from peaceful demonstration to more confrontational approaches, all aimed at resisting authoritarianism and protecting marginalized communities.
