The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund hasn't added a story.
Yvette Felarca is a middle school teacher and committed
anti-racist. This past summer she joined hundreds of people in Sacramento to
shut down a neo-nazi rally at the state building. Although
they were successful, several anti-racists were injured, including
Yvette. Despite her injury, Yvette gave a powerful and eloquent interview with
media immediately following the victory that day.
Since then, the racist scum have been seeking revenge on
Yvette by sending anonymous threats to her
school & demanding that she be fired for taking a principled
stand against fascism & racism.
Incredibly, her employer appears to be acquiescing to the
demands & threats of racist trolls. Yvette has been placed on
administrative leave pending an investigation. As of this
writing, Yvette is out-of-pocket for thousands of dollars and her
career is on the line.
We believe the actions Yvette took on June 26 were courageous
and should be applauded. Fighting back against fascists and racists
is a social duty, not a crime. Stopping neo-nazis from publicly
organizing and operating is self-defence!
We stand with Yvette and call on all anti-fascists
and anti-racist to demonstrate their solidarity with Yvette by
ensuring she is not out-of-pocket because of her employer's
cowardice. All money raised will go directly to Yvette to
compensate for her sudden lack of a paycheque.
