We have received confirmation that Schomaker has been fired from Momo’s. We would like to thank the owners there for doing the right thing, and safeguarding the community and their customers from the threat that Schomaker poses.
Aaron Hast Schomaker is a neo-Nazi ex-musician working at Momo’s bar in downtown Portland (update: he has been fired). Most of Momo’s customers are unlikely to know about Schomaker’s prolific fascist social media activity and neo-Nazi ideological commitments because he keeps it predominantly hidden behind a locked instagram account.
On November 17, 2018, Patriot Prayer member Haley Adams is holding a misogynist and rape-apologist rally in downtown Portland, co-hosted by Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson, and Quincy Anatello, a member of the Christian extremist group the “Hell Shaking Street Preachers”. Uniting the event’s messaging under the hashtag #HimToo, Adams and Patriot Prayer are producing propaganda that pretends there is an epidemic of false rape allegations against men equivalent to or exceeding in volume and severity to the horrifying realities of sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence, and murder of women and non-men in our society.
In 2017, Eugene Antifa revealed that Bethany Sherman, owner of cannabis testing lab OG Analytical in Eugene, OR, was a Nazi with a large online presence of fascist and racist Twitter posts. Sherman was forced to close her business as a result. Now, Sherman, with the help of white supremacist attorney William Daniel Johnson, is attempting to abuse the court system in order to subpoena Eugene Antifa’s former web host to reveal personal information about members of Eugene Antifa and visitors to their website.
Thanks to a combination of tips from local community members and Unicorn Riot’s publication of the “Vibrant Diversity” logs, Rose City Antifa has been able to identify yet another neo-Nazi contributor to the Alt-Right fascist cultural insurgency which has been emboldened by the Trump candidacy and presidency. After years of Nazi activity including a history of involvement with NSM, Kenneth Stephen Hart aka Hand-Banana spent the past several years living between Vancouver, WA and Lake Oswego, OR while producing and being interviewed on countless Alt-Right and neo-Nazi podcasts.
For over a year now, Rose City Antifa and our allies have come together to resist the far-right group Patriot Prayer, led by Joey Gibson. In extensively-researched articles and in copious documentation, RCA has made it clear that Patriot Prayer events serve as an organizing and rallying platform for bigots, white nationalists, fascists, and neo-nazis.
Recently the tenor of Patriot Prayer rallies has escalated significantly. The fascists and white nationalists who attend Patriot Prayer events always love the opportunity to lash out at anti-fascist activists, and the far-right has actively been involved in demonizing anti-fascism in order to score political points.
Rose City Antifa, working in conjunction with allied groups in the region, has obtained information on many of the Pacific Northwest-located members of the white nationalist, alt-right group known as the Proud Boys. Over the coming weeks, we will be publishing a series of articles detailing the Proud Boys’ specific brand of organized hate, and the individuals who make up this rising “weekend warrior” gang, in order to alert the community about the threat that this group poses.
July 25th, 2018 marks the fourth annual International Day of Solidarity with Antifascist Prisoners. Rose City Antifa will be doing the Postcards To Prisoners campaign the week of July 18th - July 25th as we’ve done in years past.
With the global rise of the fascist right it is crucial that antifascists support our POWs.
