For the launch of the 2018 Dublin anarchist bookfair we've brought anarchist author Mark Bray over from the US to tell us about 'Pushing back the alt-right in the US'. Mark, who is the author of The Anti-Fascist Handbook wlooked at what worked for anti-fascists over the last year.
This was a period that opened with the large neo-fascist mobilisation in Charlottesville during which they murdered anti-fascist protester Heather Heyer. It also saw several other major battles where fascists attacked anti-fascists but where they were more and more often defeated. In the last months their main spokespeople admitted there post Trump election hopes of expansion had been contained by anti-fascist mobilisations.

![#JobstownNotGuilty March - 6/5/17 - Niamh Mahon Resident
Speech from Jobstown resident Niamh Mahon* at yesterdays #JobstownNotGuilty demonstration.
Ive always enjoyed living here and being part of community where everybody knows each other. We are an area that stands together in times of crisis, as we did in November 2014 [time of protest]
Burton and her assistant were delayed for about 2 hours in a sit-down protest. Later the state arrested two dozen people involved by arriving with large numbers of gardaí to their homes at 5 and 6 in the morning (dawn raids). Now 7 people face charges of false imprisonment for delaying this politician, which carries a maximum sentence of life in jail. And many more on other charges. #JobstownNotGuilty March - 6/5/17 - Niamh Mahon Resident](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DC22N53NAtY/mqdefault.jpg)
