Anti-Racist Action

Anti-Racist Action was unified behind a basic principle: “We go where they go. Whenever fascists are organizing or active in public, we’re there.” What began as street fighting in the punk scene soon developed into a militant direct action network with chapters across the US and Canada. Authors, KRISTIN SCHWARTZ and MICHAEL STAUDENMAIER, join us to talk about the newly released movement history, We Go Where They Go: The Story of Anti-Racist Action.
