Minds V. Antifa
Minds.com, a social networking site, had scheduled a one-day conference to be held at the Broadway Theatre in Pitman, New Jersey. The conference was aimed at “combating racism, violence, and authoritarianism.” However, after threats of violence and social media dissension from a group of protesters known as Antifa, the venue decided to bow to pressure from anonymous thugs and cancel the event. Minds does not accept this form of fascist censorship, and is fighting back.
Our goal of raising $250,000 will be used for litigation regarding the interference with, disruption, and cancellation of the Minds.com conference in New Jersey later this month.
Official #MINDS IRL Statement. The event will take place on Saturday 8/31 in Pitman, New Jersey. We will inform all of the attendees of the venue location as we get closer. #freedomofspeech lives on pic.twitter.com/Jl6LrghpYN
