Turlock, CA: Poster Campaign Against Neo-Nazi Organizer at CSU Stanislaus
Over the weekend, several anti-fascists from the California Bay Area
and Central Valley made a trip to the CSU Stanislaus campus in order to
help escalate a campaign to have violent white supremacist and CSU
Stanislaus Junior Nathan Damigo barred from attending classes at the
university.In doing so, we have joined an ongoing effort led by a multifaceted
coalition of CSU Stan students, area anti-fascists and in general,
people of good conscience who oppose the legitimization of white
nationalism and fascism.We plastered different areas of the campus with 11×17 inch posters
featuring Damigo’s face and some of his exploits. Our posters also
featured the contact information for the Social Studies Department
Chairperson, under which Damigo studies, as well as the contact for the
President of the university. That same contact info is reproduced below –
go ahead and give them a call.We are certainly under no illusion that appeals to power will create
the outcomes that we desire – but we also recognize that public
campaigns of this nature require nuance, measured escalation and respect
for the campus community who are forced to attend classes alongside a
violent racist like Damigo on a daily basis.Our action was small, cost practically nothing and served to ratchet up pressure on campus to have Damigo booted.
It should also be noted that we chose this weekend specifically
because Damigo’s own marginal propaganda organization ‘Identity Europa’
planned to engage in a postering campaign on college campuses at the
same time. We seemed to have beat them to the punch though, as there was
no evidence of their presence on the CSU Stan campus when we arrived.As anti-fascists it’s our duty to expose and confront white
supremacists and other fascists wherever they appear – making their
lives miserable and unlivable in any way we can conceive.Signed,
Some NORCAL Anti-Fascists
