No Fascist USA! Book Reading

Join writers Hilary Moore and James Tracy for the No Fascist USA! Book Reading, 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 29, 2020, at Marz Community Brewing Co., 3630 S. Iron St., Chicago.

Co-presented by Rampant Magazine, the reading includes questions and answers with the authors. The book tells the story of how, in June 1977, a group of white anti-racist activists received an alarming letter from an inmate at a New York state prison calling for help to fight the Ku Klux Klan's efforts to recruit prison staff and influence the people incarcerated. Their response was to form the first chapter of what would eventually become a powerful, nationwide grassroots network, the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee, dedicated to countering the rise of the KKK and other far-right white nationalist groups.

Featuring original research, interviews with former members, and a trove of graphic materials, No Fascist USA! offers battle-tested lessons for those on the frontlines of social justice work.
