Rose City Antifa (RCA) is an antifa group founded 2007 in Portland, Oregon.[1] It is a leftist group.[2] It is the oldest active antifa group in the United States.[3] While the anti-fascist activism dates back to 1980s, the RCA is the first to adopt the moniker "antifa".{{sfn|Sacco|2020}} Since 2016, Rose City Antifa is one of the nine chapters of The Torch Network coalition.[4] They're an amorphous and largely anonymous group of anti-fascists.[5] The group is described as well organized and is active online and on Facebook while individual members are large anonymous[6]
History
According to one of its leaders, the group concentrates on "outing" people whom they believe to be neo-Nazis.[7] According to Alexander Reid Ross, the author of the book Against the Fascist Creep, Rose City Antifa grew out of the group Anti-Racist Action which first appeared in 1987. Through Rose City Antifa, "the European and American models were sort of synthesized and the current model of Antifa in the US was developed".[8]
Between 2007 and 2013, Rose City Antifa was part of Anti-Racist Action. Since 2016, Rose City Antifa has been part of the Torch Network.[9]
The group has organized opposition to Patriot Prayer rallies in Portland.[10] Rose City Antifa clashed with law enforcement officials and supporters of the presidency of Donald Trump following the 2016 United States presidential election.[11] Before a June 2017 rally, the group released a statement saying they would be "unapologetic" over the use of "physical militancy".[12]
