Is it considered weird for someone on their 40’s asking to join? Since it’s a heavily youth-dominated space?

IS THAT YOU DAD?

Kidding, we’re just kidding!  Antifascism is not age-limited.  As long as you’re opposed to fascism, you’re welcome to put that opposition into action.  We know lots and lots of antifa in their 40s & beyond.

Antifa can use everyone’s time, talents and energy, whether you’re 14, 40 or 80. Also remember, It’s not all punching nazis or blocking fascist demonstrations. We need people organising, writing articles, designing flyers and posters, spreading propaganda like stickers and posters, removing racist graffiti, cooking food at local antifa meetings, helping refugee organisations locally, raising money to support local antifascist organisations or to help antifascists internationally to pay off legal and medical costs, working with your local radical organisations or squats to create antifascist spaces, people offering legal help for undocumented people or for antifascists after demonstrations, et cetera.  Anyone is welcome and can be of use in the war against the rising tide of xenophobia, racism and fascism we see happening around us.
