Central & Western North Carolina Local Gathers Despite Fascist Threats

On Sunday, September 27th, the Central & Western NC (CWNC) chapter of the Socialist Party USA hosted a meetup at Deep Roots Market in Greensboro when several fascist agitators attempted to disrupt it. A dozen individuals carrying Confederate and Nazi banners attempted to harass and intimidate members of the public while chanting anti-socialist slogans and making Nazi salutes and shouting slurs. Members of the local community, however, quickly rallied and joined the SP members in a growing counter-demonstration that culminated in the fascists fleeing on foot and in vehicles. After that, the meetup proceeded uninterrupted.

The CWNC chapter would like to extend its deepest thanks to the people of Greensboro for their quick and heroic actions, while also highlighting the ongoing threat posed by far-right agitators. We encourage all comrades to remain vigilant and take whatever lawful measures are necessary to ensure the safety of themselves and their comrades.
