Anti-Fascist protesters, best known as Antifa, are doing much more than organizing protests. So who are they really — and why has Donald Trump tried to label them a terrorist group?
Christopher Mathias, longtime journalist and author of To Catch A Fascist: The Fight To Expose The Radical Right, joined Susan J. Demas on First Draft to talk about embedding himself with several Antifa activists, many of whom come out of the punk rock scene.
He highlights their tactics and the risks these citizens have taken when infiltrating extreme right-wing networks to expose some of its more vile members. What drove them to want to do this work and how successful have they been in doxxing the far right?
You definitely don’t want to miss this edition of First Draft with Susan J. Demas and author Christopher Mathias right here on Lincoln Square.
