@mutualmorris
We are a#MutualAid group in Morris County, New Jersey, USA wanting to connect with likeminded folks, to learn, share, and build #solidarity communities as far as we can. We are led by mostly #queer, #poor / #unhoused, #immigrant, #socialist, #communist, and #anarchist types from multiple generations and we seek to build a real, active path out of "business as usual".

@CrimethInc
#CrimethInc. is a rebel alliance—a decentralized network pledged to anonymous collective action—a breakout from the prisons of our age. We strive to reinvent our lives and our world according to the principles of self-determination and mutual aid. We believe that you should be free to dispose of your limitless potential on your own terms: that no government, market, or ideology should be able to dictate what your life can be. If you agree, let’s do something about it.

If you are in need of study materials on antifascism, check out our national group's resources page!

https://www.ironfrontusa.org/resources

The first resource is a slide show on white supremacist/alt-right extremist iconography. This is by no means a comprehensive list but it's a good introduction to get you recognizing some of the more common white power symbols that you might see.

Another one we recommend is "40 Ways to Fight Fascism" by Spencer Sunshine, which is a fantastic compendium of suggestions and advice on countering fascists on your home turf.

Crash course on alt-Right iconography here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12zk0v_4iF3wuuSrK2lhFaKklWw_Z0i72

Shout-out to our Iron Front USA friends in Arizona who joined the protest today in Phoenix.  

https://azmirror.com/2025/02/05/veterans-activists-unite-in-arizonas-50501-protest-against-trump-musk-and-project-2025/

If you're in another part of the country but wish you could join a group like us, good news! We have folks all over the US and we support each other. You don't have to fight fascism alone, wherever you are.

If we're not your style, we are happy to point you in the direction of other groups to get involved with. What is important is that you find a way to fight that works for you. We especially love the quote at the end of the linked article:

“If you feel frustrated, don’t stay frustrated on the internet,” Duba said. “Get out and do something, meet people, talk to people, get involved in a campaign.”

Every citizen can do their part to crush maga fascism:

1. Purchase goods from companies that support democracy #buyblue
2. Spread the messages of the #resistance
3. Demonstrate, protest, and provide common defense

Not so fun fact: the first concentration camp in Nazi Germany was for Hitler's political opponents.

You can either fight now or lose your chance to fight forever.

You need to know your neighbors and where they stand. You need networks of people you can trust. You need to be prepared to live in a fascist dictatorship where the military is under the control of a racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, antisemitic extremist. You need to be able to protect its victims. We don't have time to wait and see what happens. History is repeating itself and if we don't act now it will continue repeating itself.

The United States needs YOU to act.
Your neighbors need YOU.
Now is not the time to sit this out.

If you want to resist fascism in your local community, we're here. I know we don't post much, but that's because there are only a few of us and we're busy getting out in the world and doing work. Join us, and help make sure that Massachusetts remains a beacon of safety and hope for refugees.

#Antifascism #FuckNazis #CommunityDefense #Democracy #AmericanIronFront #Massachussetts #Boston

Somewhere in California. Thanks to our friends and comrades for spreading the word.  

If you haven't figured out how you want to show up against fascism in the United States, might we suggest joining a group of like-minded people who hate Nazis, Neo-nazis, christofascists, state-sponsored fascists (looking at you, police  ), white supremacists, and all the other alt-right garbage that exists out there?

Or join another anti-fascist group! We won't be offended. The important part is to get out there and start making fascists feel uncomfortable.

#Antifascist #FuckNazis #AmericanIronFront #IronFrontUSA #AIFMassachusetts #Antifa

We are very frustrated and saddened to see certain organizations in Boston, most recently the Boston May Day coalition, continuing to allow their members to express transphobic views without consequence. This is unacceptable, as is allowance of any bigoted or hateful speech. Unfortunately, this is not the first time our members have encountered transphobia apologist behavior in leftist movements.

We will not tolerate groups that allow hateful speech towards our trans siblings. It doesn't matter if you're Nazis or leftists, if you're condoning hate then we have no common ground.

We would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm that AIF Massachusetts does not work with groups that tolerate hateful speech and we encourage other groups not to as well. We believe that bigotry and hate should have no place in an anti-fascist movement not just because it is morally wrong but because it is counter to our mission. Fascism feeds on sectarianism, hate, and "othering" of people who are not the majority. For this reason racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, and all other 'isms' are dangerous to the anti-fascist mission.

Either we all smash fascism together or we're just trading down for a more niche brand of fascism.
