 Leif put himself on the line successfully defending attendees at a drag event from a physical attack by armed transphobes. His reward? Criminal charges and a trial this month. The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund has stepped in to help Leif pay to have a decent lawyer with him when he steps into court. Full story:

The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund has helped more people defending drag shows and trans rights than probably anyone. You can make sure the Defence Fund is still around to do that by making a contribution here: https://bit.ly/DefendAntifa

 SOUTH LONDON REPORTBACK:
(via London Anti-Fascist Assembly): 

Saturday, a pitiful display of less than 30 far-right activists, deprived of their self-appointed leader, Nick Tenconi, who left them at a petrol station & didn't attend his own demonstration, were confronted by hundreds of locals in support of queer culture in South London. Police forcibly attacked the local community to ensure that constant failure.

Laurence Fox could parade around his personal ring of bigotry met by a chorus of disapproval. As per usual, police come out to push locals out the way for fascists to speak. 

Queer antifascist culture remains strong in South London and we will keep showing up the fascists wherever they appear.

 Happy 113th birthday to #originalantifa Thomas Page!

 When five Bordeaux antifascistes took arrests after confronting fascists in a local bar, The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund stepped in to help defray the resulting costs.

 This summer, The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund helped pay for lawyers for two anti-fascists arrested in Pittsburgh during a protest against an event where trans people's right to exist was being "debated" by a paleo-conservative libertarian and one of Ben Shapiro's lackeys.

 Seven years ago today, Jimi Joonas Karttunen was beaten to death by neo-nazis in Helsinki, Finland.
Never forget.
Never forgive.
