 Moore and James Tracy’s new book "NO FASCIST USA!: The John Brown 
 Anti-Klan Committee and Lessons for Today’s Movements" (City Lights Open 
 Media, Jan. 2020) is the story of how a national grassroots network fought 
 a resurgence of the KKK and other fascist groups during the Reagan years, 
 laying the groundwork for today's anti-fascist/anti-racist movements. 
 \n\nIn June 1977, a group of white anti-racist activists received an 
 alarming letter from an inmate at a New York state prison calling for help 
 to fight the Ku Klux Klan's efforts to recruit prison staff and influence 
 the people incarcerated. Their response was to form the first chapter of 
 what would eventually become a powerful, nationwide grassroots network, the 
 John Brown Anti-Klan Committee, dedicated to countering the rise of the KKK 
 and other far-right white nationalist groups. \n\n"NO FASCIST USA!" tells 
 the story of that network, whose efforts throughout the 1980s — which 
 included exposing white supremacists in public office, confronting 
 neo-Nazis in street protests, supporting movements for self-determination, 
 and engagement with the underground punk scene — laid the groundwork for 
 many anti-racist efforts to emerge since. \n\nMoore and Tracy will be 
 joined in conversation by Mark Bray, part time lecturer at \nRutgers 
 University as a historian of human rights, terrorism, and politics in 
 Modern Europe, and author of "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook". \n\nABOUT
