The DFLA are coming to London on October 13th. Wanna know you can help out and be a proper-good-Antifa? Well now that Antifa has become an SEO friendly term, you can’t move for thinkpieces and blog posts. We thought we’d join in with our very own listicle. We’re like, totally top content-creator millenials too, you know.
We need to spread the word and get feet on the streets against the far-right ‘Free Tommy’ demo in London on July 14th. Facebook event here
To get you started, here’s some downloadable posters and flyers.
Let us know what you do with them and any issues or thoughts.

Mass mobilisation is far from the only trick in the anti-fascist book. This isn’t an argument against squaddism, local electoral politics, media exposés or anything else in the anti-fascist toolbox. However, it is an important tactic, and it’s important to get it right.
Mass demonstrations, whether marches or statics, have historically been important to fascist movements in much the same way as they are useful to the Left. They provide a sense of solidarity and a feeling of a job well done, meaning that participants go home feeling part of a broader movement and willing to put that bit more effort into day to day political activity.
Following on from our guide to ‘How to set up an anti-fascist group’, here’s some useful resources for those thinking of taking action against the far-right.
Leeds AFN have brought this booklet about racism and resistance in Brick Lane in 1978 to our attention. After too much racism every day, the East Londoners organised and fought back…
Glad to hear Leeds AFN had a good time with their film night.

This is the second in the series of UK Aktion infographics looking at the British far-right. This time: the EDL in focus. We have tried to illustrate the main groups and people that went into founding the EDL, as well as the larger, and more active splinter-groups to come from them. Obviously, we could not include every group but this is an attempt to chart the main ones. Below is a high quality .PNG file. Please feel free to download and share.
Below is the first in a series of infographics produced by UKAktion, with the aim of demystifying the British far-right so that antifascists can more effectively combat them. Feel free to download and spread around, there is both a higher-quality, larger .PNG file, and a standard .JPEG file. Credit to La Horde for original idea.
