Rage Against Fascism a Success!

At last night's benefit show, attended by antifa allies from all over the region, Boston Antifa raised several hundred dollars towards the court costs of anti-Nazi activists facing charges related to protests against last spring's NSM gathering in Trenton, NJ.

While NEWP wasted their Saturday mornings trolling the wall of the facebook event with clever messages like 'the show is moved to tomorrow!' they definitely did not manage to dissuade the crowds.  Early in the night, a NEWP sticker was affixed to the front door at e5, but it was quickly removed and became a source of much laughter throughout the evening.  It seems even the geniuses of NEWP knew better than to crash a show packed wall-to-wall with antifa. 

Many thanks to the bands (Darby's Ditch Diggers, The Workers and Second Half of the Season), the e5 volunteers, the event organizers and co-sponsors, and all the supporters who gave generously to the cause for making the Rage Against Fascism such a successful and fun event.
