About
Anti-Fascist Action Ireland was founded in 1991. As it says on its Facebook page:
AFA is dedicated to confronting fascism, both physically and politically, in whatever guise it might take” and “As expected, the group’s work is diverse. Small-scale activities involve the removing of racist graffiti and stickers, leafleting an area where there has been a case of fascist activity and organising benefit gigs. More substantial projects include getting involved in football related anti-racist initiatives, writing and producing a magazine called No Quarter and mobilising large numbers to physically confront neo-Nazis when the time calls.

PROTESTS AGAINST THE RISE IN FASCISM AROUND THE WORLD.
By: VERONICA McCARRON | 21st January 2024, 6:09pm
This year, 2024, there are elections in 69 countries around the world. Democracy is in danger due to the rise of autocracy and far right sentiments and policies in many countries. We must all fight this, if we want to have a democratic world for our children and future generations. Will Anti-Fascist Action be organising protests, such as were held by thousands of participents in Germany today? I am hoping this is something in the planning by AFA at this crucial & dangerous time for the world. We only have to look at the USA to see how close to a dictatorship, that country is at present. THANK YOU, Veronica McCarron. Co.Fermanagh. N. Ireland.
