Antifascists Make Short Work of Proud Boys “Billboard” in the Inland Empire

On the morning of January 12th, 2024, anti-fascists in the Inland Empire in Southern California responded to some Proud Boy graffiti on a billboard in Colton, California. The message said “Fuck Joe Biden, Free the Proud Boys,” accompanied with the gold laurel wreath logo used by the hate group.

An artistic decision was made and within a few hours the message read, “Fuck Joe Biden AND the Proud Boys,” along with a few other embellishments.

Proud boys in the area have been experimenting with new tactics for displaying their messages after local activists started capturing their banners and modifying them into community art projects.

Solidarity forever,
