Fresno Anti-Authoritarians Call to Action
Ivanka Trump Protest in Fresno
Anti-Authoritarian Bloc
Ivanka Trump is coming to Fresno June 18th and the local Indivisible group is putting on a protest. The local indivisible group is a bunch of conservative Democrats who could really use our assistance in learning what a real demonstration looks like. So we’ve decided to put out this call for Anti-Authoritarians (Black Bloc, Antifa, Redneck Revolt, etc.) to come help out. So far we’ve heard from folks throughout the Central Valley from Bakersfield to Stockton.
We have a convergence space and have hosted multiple trainings from street medic basics, basic self defense, security culture, etc. We have a street medic and legal team set up to help during the action. The weekend before the action and the days following the convergence space can sleep 100 people. We also have a number of houses that can provide couch and backyard camping space.
This is really exciting for us. It’s been years since central valley Anti-Authoritarians have hosted a gathering. We usually travel to actions in the Bay Area, LA, Border actions or mass actions like the RNC, DNC, Inauguration, etc.

We just noticed that Fresno Indivisible deleted the Facebook event page for the protest against Ivanka Trump. Oh well we will still be there.
All sounds great, but there is literally no contact info on here on how to get in touch with people from Fresno. What time does this start? Is there an email for a group on how to get involved?
The Republicans are being very secretive about the location of the Ivanka event. During the Arpaio visit last September they changed the location of the event numerous times to minimize protests.
Also law enforcement has been known to target organizers for arrest. They did this with the March jail blockade last year. So we're being secretive to avoid preemptive arrests. Once we confirm the location of the Ivanka event we will spread the info. Also reach out to local activists. If they know you they will fill you in on the details. Sorry for such extreme security measures but we've had friends arrested for blocking the sidewalk getting $20,000 bail.
