antifainternational

In honor of our 7th anniversary, each day this month we will post one of  our favorite antifascist actions from around the world from the past  year!

Today: June 19 2020 - On Juneteenth protesters in Washington DC tore down the statue of Confederate general Albert Pike and set it on fire, chanting “No justice, no peace, no racist police!”.

Donald Trump quickly tweeted about the toppling, calling out DC mayor Muriel Bowser and writing: “The DC police are not doing their job as they watched a statue be ripped down and burn. These people should be immediately arrested. A disgrace to our country.”. Jubilant protesters read out Trump’s tweet over a bullhorn and cheered.
