From the archive: Our podcast episode on opposing white supremacist activity 

Following the horrific Buffalo shooting and amid a rise in violence by white supremacists, we’re re-upping Episode 31 of “The Activist Files,” in which Senior Staff Attorney Angelo Guisado and Senior Legal Worker Ian Head discuss our publication Combatting White Supremacist Organizing: Tools to Protect Our Communities from Violence.

It’s an essential toolkit of legal and non-legal strategies for opposing, managing, and healing from white supremacist activity before, during, and after it comes to town. Angelo and Ian also featureIf An Agent Knocks, our classic 1989 handbook for how to handle interactions with federal agents. For communities most under threat from white supremacist violence, state violence is not its antidote but its companion.
