June 26th: Resisting State Repression

In early March, the California Highway Patrol completed its investigation of the anti-Nazi shutdown that happened in Sacramento last June, forwarding a 2,000-page report to the District Attorney’s Office. Law enforcement is urging the DA to charge 106 individuals with 514 misdemeanors and 68 felonies over the stoppage of the white nationalist rally that happened nearly a year ago at the State Capitol. While the intent here is no doubt to scare people, there is still a legitimate threat directed at our community. With this in mind, we would like to humbly offer these suggestions to prepare for the repression that the state has in store. This statement is intended for any anti-racist and anti-fascist protesters who attended the anti-Nazi demo on June 26, 2016, but it is also relevant to anyone in the same communities as those who attended.

Local Anarchist-Turned-Nationalist Takes to Terrorizing Reproductive Health Clinic

**This post was updated recently to include the flyer on Chris Locke that we created, published via Facebook on June 14th, 2018 and then started putting up around midtown and downtown Sacramento. The picture of Locke doing the Nazi salute is from when him and a small group of other far right people went downtown to harass the large demonstration against the racist Jeff Sessions’ appearance in Sacramento on March 7th, 2018. While Chris was downtown that day not only was he doing the Nazi salute but he was also hurling racial slurs directly at certain protesters.

Many activists in the Sacramento area are already familiar with the exploits of Christopher Alden Locke, a local nationalist, christofascist, closet case, and compulsive liar extraordinaire who got his start as a gay rights activist and Anarchist. Chris has a history of lying and unpredictable behavior that dates back to long before he even came out as a nationalist and Neo-Nazi supporter. Now, Chris has taken up arms against a local reproductive health clinic in a string of disturbing events ranging from extreme stalking to a possible connection to a recent break in. The community must put an end to his reign of terror before it goes any further, and the first step is exposing him for what he truly is.

Nazi Crew Responsible for Sacramento Stabbings to Co-Organize Trump March on 3/25

ALERT: The Sacramento Make America Great Again March, which will have multiple right-wing extremists and Neo-Nazis in attendance, including several who have a direct history of stabbing activists,  is scheduled for the same day as the annual Cesar Chavez March. If you are planning on attending the Cesar Chavez March on Saturday, March 25th, take every precaution to stay safe in the streets. Do not travel alone, and be on the lookout for fascist activity. These groups are violent and unpredictable, and there is no telling what they may have planned. Don’t allow the threat of their violence to prevent you from attending, but do plan on being on high alert throughout the day.

Fighting Fascism in the Face of State Repression

Yesterday, news broke that the CHP is urging the DA to charge 106 individuals with 514 misdemeanors and 68 felonies over the shutdown of the white nationalist rally at the state capitol nearly a year ago. This development, while alarming to many, should come as no surprise. If anything, it is just another clear indicator that the state is the enemy of radical movements and of the people, and that the police are not to be trusted or given any information for the sake of our collective safety and freedom. In the coming days, we will be releasing an in-depth and comprehensive guide to protecting yourself from and preparing for state repression. For now, here are some key things to remember: Continue reading “Fighting Fascism in the Face of State Repression”

Supporting Each Other And Resisting State Repression

CAIR’s notorious anti-FBI poster. We love it.

It has now been five months since the events that unfolded on June 26th. Given the gravity of the situation, we must assume that the investigation is fully underway and prepare for repression accordingly. It is abundantly clear that during this aftermath period, we can expect to see law enforcement take its usual route of targeting and isolating individuals in an attempt to gain information to be used both to prosecute and for ongoing surveillance purposes.

After the Neo-Nazi attacks at the Sacramento rally on June 26th, a support team was organized to raise money for the nine individuals who were hospitalized. The community came together to donate and spread the word, and we are happy to announce that we were able to raise over 20,000 dollars to help with the costs of surgery, hospital bills, physical therapy, and other necessary medical expenses. All nine individuals were supported through the recovery process and offered monetary assistance. They are currently all in stable condition, and are expected to make a full mental and physical recovery. Continue reading “Update: Supporting The Injured”
