Usa - antifascism in El paso
This
weekend in Austin, several pieces of graffiti went up across the city
in support of antifascism. Two pieces honored the victims of the recent
mass shooting in El Paso where a fascist shooter deliberately targeted
and killed Chicano and Mexican people inside of a crowded Walmart
shopping center to stop what he referred to as the “Hispanic invasion of
Texas.”After the shooting, reactionary Lieutenant Governor Dan
Patrick warned antifascists to “Stay out of El Paso” and the state of
Texas generally, perpetuating the myth that antifascists are
predominantly outside agitators or foreign actors. This street art,
along with the numerous antifascist actions recently carried out in the
state, suggest the contrary; there is a Texas-based antifascist movement
that is growing.
