In the last few weeks, antifascists in the Pacific Northwest have begun to out neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, and members of the Alt-Right in their neighborhoods. To get an overview of neo-Nazi groups, members of the Alt-Right, and Patriot Prayer in the Pacific Northwest, check out this expose from Rose City Antifa on leaked chat room logs.
On the morning of March 2nd, according to statements that began to be circulated on social media, groups of antifascists distributed flyers in various neighborhoods to out neo-Nazis, and issued the following statement:
In the early morning hours of March 2 2018 a collation of Northwest Antifascist conducted operations along the I-5 corridor.
Operations were held against 6 men who are instrumental in spreading the right’s message of hate.
The fascists targeted were: Kynan Dutton – NSM, Alexander Becker AKA Mike Gainer- PDX Stormer, Jeffery Thomas- American Front, Joey Nations- Alt Right organizer running for Republican house seat, Leo Strantton- Patriot Prayer, and right wing “journalist” David Woods aka Fashy Chad – ex rapper turned white nationalist and protégé of Jimmy Marr.
This mission was done to show the fascist that we are united against them, regardless of miles or imaginary borders. That we will stand against them wherever they are found, be it a college town, an apartment, house, or camping site.
Operations were conducted in: Corvallis Oregon, Salem Oregon, Portland Oregon, and Vancouver Washington.
