“Living as a Black person in America every day is an antifascist struggle,” Trevor, a Black activist with the antifa group NYC Anarchist Action, told me. “Any day you could end up on the plantation, which is the prison system. So every day is a war to some degree.”

“We talk about the Civil Rights Movement, but we can go back further than that,” Isaac told me. “When you talk about Nat Turner or Sojourner Truth, to take up arms against your oppressor and push back against them, that is antifascist work. When you talk about Nanny of the Maroons in the Caribbean or the Haitian Revolution, that is antifascist work. History has shown us, time and again, African people participating in antifascist work.”
