Dallas Straight Pride Parade Attracts Two Attendees, Both from New England

The Dallas Straight Pride Parade this week attracted just two attendees– Mark Sahady and Brandon Navom, both far-Right organizers from New England.

Sahady was the lead organizer of Resist Marxism, founded by Kyle “Based Stickman” Chapman, which recently rebranded as Super Happy Fun America after being exposed as a far-Right front and connected to a planned act of mass violence from the Proud Boys. Navom was an organizer for the 2017 Boston Free Speech Rally, which attracted approximately 50 participants and 40,000 counter-protesters.

Proud Boys Outnumbered 10:1 in Manhattan

NYC Antifa would like to thank all of the everyday antifascists who came out today and raised the alarm against the Proud Boys. Together, *we* keep our communities and city safe. https://t.co/vkr0yTxUPI — New York City Antifa (@NYCAntifa) November 17, 2019

Latinos for Trump sponsored a #FreeTheBoys rally on Saturday, in support of Proud Boys Maxwell Hare and John Kinsman, recently convicted of attacking antifascists protesters alongside a group of other Proud Boys following an October 2018 Gavin McInnes speech at the Metropolitan GOP Club in Manhattan. In response, over 300 #EverydayAntifascists strong came out against the Proud Boys’ measly 30 attendees.

As journalist Ash J remarked on Twitter, while the antifascist side was heavily policed, the far-Right side was more or less left alone. The attendees supporting Hare and Kinsman include neo-Nazi Jovi Val and Gabriel Brown, a 211 Bootboys associate who attended the 2017 Unite the Right rally and recently joined the American Guard.

In the lead-up to the rally, antifascists released a list of the names, Facebook URLs, and general locations of over 1,400 people who had been members of the Proud Boys’ Facebook vetting groups in July 2018, shortly before the groups were banned.
