5/ And in January 2019, Lizardo joined Resist Marxism at the Boston Women's March, where they attacked march attendees. Here's Lizardo with his fist cocked, about to punch someone who tried to intervene.pic.twitter.com/5bTfeVVvyi

7/ In the spring of 2019, the New England Proud Boys planned to do security for a since-cancelled Resist Marxism rally in Providence. Leaked chats show the Proud Boys trading photos of activists they planned to target, and the weapons they planned to use.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-chat-logs-premeditate-rally-violence-in-leaked-chats_n_5ce1e231e4b00e035b928683 …

8/ The Straight Pride Parade isn't just associated with hate groups like the Proud Boys and American Guard. The organizers have also conspired with these groups to stage violent events in the past. So if you can make it, show up to the Straight Pride Parade.

10/ The police have no interest in protecting the people of Boston. They're more than happy to stand with their backs to the out-of-town fascists who roll in to threaten marginalized communities in Boston. That's why we need a mass mobilization to shut down the parade.
