The Anti-Fascist Action

Anti-Fascist Action (AFA) is a movement formed to oppose fascist ideology and groups promoting hate, discrimination, or authoritarianism. Originating in Europe during the 1980s, members typically engage in preventing fascist demonstrations, counter-protesting, and raising awareness about intolerance. While their methods vary—from peaceful activism to direct confrontation—they aim to protect democratic values and promote inclusivity. AFA is driven by the belief that fascist ideas threaten social cohesion and human rights, and thus actively works to challenge and expose such ideologies whenever they arise.
