A group of antifascists and community members assembled Dec. 5 across the street from a park next to a low-income housing project in an industrial area in north Buffalo, N.Y. They came to oppose a parade organized by the Rolling Patriots, a white supremacist group.
The anti-racist demonstrators held signs condemning the presence of extreme rightwing groups and demanding better provisions for workers facing the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Buffalo protest December 5
The Rolling Patriots often participate in anti-mask, anti-shutdown events, catering to the interests of business owners who want to remain open despite all-time-high COVID-19 infection rates in Erie County. They endanger the health and well-being of front-line workers and the general public.
