7 years ago, April 15 2017, antifascists clashed with far-right & white supremacist demonstrators (including members of the Oath Keepers, Identity Evropa, and the neo-nazi Rise Above Movement) in Berkeley’s MLK Jr. Civic Center Park (Provo Park)

There were 20 arrests and 11 reported injuries, most famously the assault by white supremacist Identity Evropa leader Nathan Damigo on a female demonstrator

The 2nd so-called “Battle of Berkeley,” it was just one in a series of 2017 confrontations between the far-right and antifascists, beginning with riots at a scheduled appearance by reactionary media personality Milo Yiannopoulos at UC Berkeley https://t.co/EHVDtmaf6Z
