An upcoming rally to purportedly support police officers and ICE agents will include leaders of fascist groups, as anti-fascist groups push city officials to pull the permit for the hate groups.
Prominent far-right figures and fascist groups are planning to come to Philadelphia on November 17, when local right-wing organizers, including those affiliated with white supremacist groups, are expected to congregate at a “We The People” rally in the city’s historic district.
Many Philadelphians aren’t welcoming these organizations. Local leftists this week urged their neighbors to call Mayor Jim Kenney and an official who approves permits for Independence National Historical Park, to suspend the permit for Saturday’s rally. Philadelphia International Action Center and Workers World Party have collected more than 300 signatures on a petition to cancel the permit for the hate rally.
The rally is slated for Independence Hall, steps away from the National Museum of American Jewish History.
Social media posts circulated by an anti-fascist group called PushBack Campaign claimed the rally was tied to the Proud Boys—a fascist organization recently banned from Facebook—and right-wing Three Percent militia movement.
