I know the far right hasn’t been back in Portland proper since 2021, but this is an election year and if they decide to come back, this would most likely be the time. It may be another rally on the outskirts of town, or maybe under the guise of a “save the children” or Christian music “family event” with hate preachers, it could very well even be an all-out rally with firearms and melee weapons like A22. Regardless of how it’s presented or marketed, we know what this means, we know what they really want, and we know exactly what they are capable of and how bloodthirsty they are. Now is the time to get the conversation going, reach out to comrades of past, reconnect with your old AGs, see how everyone is feeling, maybe get together and talk & plan, start coordinating with other AGs, rekindle the flames, whatever it is, be ready.
Fascists should always be confronted and prevented from organizing, recruiting, and spreading hate. I know many folks have been dreading 2024 for years, and things are looking even worse than anticipated.
