Union Hall vandalized in Portland

"Portland IWW Union Hall and Cider Riot Vandalized With Graffiti Targeting Antifa"




Vancouver, Wash.-based agitator Joey Gibson and his followers tried to interrupt a DSA meeting on Jan. 17, but they were turned away at the door.

 A few antifascist demonstrators, which DSA says did not belong to their political group, tussled with the right-wing group.

Two days later, Patriot Prayer supporters and Proud Boys meandered outside the IWW house. 

They tried to clash with antifascists, but the few mild scuffles ended quickly. 

One video posted on Twitter shows right-wing figurehead Haley Adams holding a pink taser to one protester's neck, but she did not trigger an electric shock.

"While Patriot Prayer, the Proud Boys and their supporters have continued to show up to our meetings and outside our office to harass, threaten, and attempt to attack our members, our organization, and our allies, we have used deescalation tactics and otherwise been entirely nonresponsive, which enrages these fascists who are very clearly seeking out a fight and media attention," Katbi Smith says.

 "We will not be deterred by violent misogynistic white supremacists who attempt to disrupt our efforts."
