Monterey: Direct Action Montrerey Network Raises $400 for Sacramento Antifa

From Direct Action Montrerey Network (DAMN)

On August 13th, 2016 the Direct Action Monterey Network invited people from up and down the central coast to come for a night of music and poetry to raise money for the people injured by neo-nazis at an anti-fascist counter protest on June 26th.

We had the wonderful talents of Heather Flescher, a poet from Pacific Grove; All Corvids Are Birds, a post-metal band from Monterey; and Bedrooms, a groovy ukulele-playing singer/songwriter from Salinas. Check out pictures of the performers!

If you couldn’t make it to the fundraiser, but would still like to donate, you can do it here:

DONATE TO THE JUNE26TH ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

In addition to monetary donations, they’ve put together great list of different ways that people can support!

Throw a Benefit:
Several groups are already planning benefit events in several locations. Host an event, discussion, or party to raise funds. ‘Welcome to Leith’ is now on NetFlix if you are looking for an excellent film to show. We also recommend getting in contact with a local anti-fascist speaker or holding a discussion about how these struggles are linked to what is happening in your area.

Drop a Banner or Hold a Rally:

Hold a rally or demonstration, hand out flyers and talk with people about how what happened in Sacramento was a victory against fascism and white supremacy and why we should support the people that were injured fighting. These acts of solidarity with help build people’s spirits and show that our struggles are connected.
