>>4282500The Alberta Antifascist Manifesto: Solidarity Against Hate
We stand at a critical crossroads. In communities across Alberta-from our urban centers to our rural towns-the toxic creep of white supremacy, neo-fascism, and hate threatens the safety, dignity, and survival of our neighbors. We reject the fear, division, and bigotry peddled by far-right agitators. We choose collective care, justice, and relentless resistance.
🛑 Our Core Directives
* No Platform for Hate. We do not debate our right to exist. Fascism is not an opinion; it is a direct threat to human lives. We actively deny hate groups the public spaces, digital platforms, and social legitimacy they crave.
* Community-Led Defense. When systems fail to protect marginalized people, communities must protect themselves. We build strong, interconnected mutual aid networks to support Indigenous, Black, racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+, and religious minority communities.
* Exposing the Network. Far-right extremism thrives in the shadows of online forums and dog-whistle politics. We pull back the curtain on hate groups, exposing their tactics, funding, and local organizers to the public eye.
* Dismantling Colonial Structures. Alberta is built on Treaty 6, 7, and 8 lands. True resistance to neo-Nazism requires acknowledging and dismantling the ongoing structures of settler-colonialism and systemic racism that hate groups exploit.
🔥 How We Win
1. Educate & Mobilize. We counter hate speech with radical truth, historical context, and political education.
2. Disrupt & Counter-Protest. We out-number, out-organize, and out-vocalize hate assemblies wherever they try to gather.
3. Protect the Vulnerable. We center the safety and voices of those most targeted by far-right violence.
