Marchers at a rally in support of #Palestine in #Eugene were able to disarm a would be far-Right attacker - but this is only the latest in a series of ongoing attacks that have only continued into the post-Trump period.
#BREAKING: A far-Right Trump supporter, identified by antifascists online at Ryan Martinez, has been arrested by police after shooting an Indigenous protester (who is in reported stable condition) in so-called Española, New Mexico at a protest calling for the removal of conquistador, Juan de Oñate, called by the organization The Red Nation.
On social media the event was billed as a "prayerful protest." The statue was put into storage during the George Floyd uprising and was supposed to be put back on display this week at the Rio Arriba County building, which for the last week, has been the site of ongoing Native-led demonstrations, prayer, and protest.
This is the second time that a far-Right counter-protester has shot and injured someone over the statue. On June 15th, Stephen Baca shot a protester at a rally calling for the statue's removal.
"On Saturday, September 16th, over 100 antifascists, feminists, and pro-LGBTQ+ demonstrators hit the streets of San Francisco outside of a Hilton Hotel to oppose a much smaller anti-trans conference organized by the Women’s Declaration International (WDI), a collection of “radical feminists” who have embraced far-Right anti-trans conspiracy theories and push for attacks on the LGBT+ community."
