Tonight we give thanks that six years ago, on August 12, 2017, courageous people from around the southeastern United States gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia to prevent fascists from building a united street movement. At that time, few outside the anarchist and anti-fascist movements really understood the threat that the fascists gathering in Charlottesville represented. Afterwards, it was clear to all.

This was a costly victory—one person gave her life, and many others suffered life-threatening injuries. But if people had not confronted the fascists that day, they might have gained considerably more numbers and power, killing and injuring many more people.

Here, you can read an interview with an anarchist who participated in countering the fascist mobilization that day:
