How Antifascist Moms Are Pushing Back Against the far-Right and Anti-LGBTQ+ Bigots in SoCal

I listened to this episode this morning, it was quite good.

I really like it when there is a focus on non-militant antifascsim. The mainstream media painted antifascism as just going out in bloc and fistfighting nazis, hurling rocks at the police, and general violence. Seeing everyday antifascism done by your average person is super important, especially with the vilification of antifa in the mainstream.

Here's the synopsis from the site (since it's a podcast I don't feel bad posting this here):

In this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we speak with members of Safe Redlands Schools (SRS), a group of antifascist moms who have come together to push back against far-Right and fascist groups attempting to advance an authoritarian agenda in the Southern California area, specifically in local school districts.

During our discussion, we talk about how these groups, which include far-Right street gangs like the Proud Boys, grew out of far-Right conspiracy theories and reaction to COVID-19 lockdowns, pivoting quickly to opposing “Critical Race Theory” and embracing a politics of gender fascism. As far-Right militants set their sites on the schools boards as a new terrain of confrontation, violence erupted at various meetings, with parents and their children often caught in the middle between politicians, out of town grifters, and their followers in violent far-Right organizations.

Members of SRS map out how they have built a network of concerned parents across their region, the wide variety of organizing that they engage in within their communities against the far-Right, and why they made the important decision to openly label themselves as “anti-fascist.”

Aw dang, was hoping there was a synopsis or transcription. Either way, thanks for the link!
