  1. New on our website. The Sons of Confederate Veterans like to claim "Heritage not Hate", but their Georgia spokesperson, Martin O'Toole, has a long history of neo-Nazi support. Find out more about how his foundation spread propaganda for accelerationist pedophile James Mason.

    Our new article also discusses O'Toole's involvement with the racist American Renaissance; his participation and leadership in the secretive Charles Martel Society; and his travel to Russia with other far-Rightists on a 2018 networking mission.

  2. April 24th was set as Confederate Memorial Day in Georgia in 1866. Since then, the date has marked a way for racists to display their hatred.

    The landmark of Stone Mountain outside Atlanta has also served as a crucial nationwide symbol for racists. In 1970, the natural beauty of this granite formation was defaced by a carving of Confederate generals designed to serve as a rebuke to the Black Power and Civil Rights movements of the 1960s.

    We have documented so much racist symbolism and activism around Stone Mountain since our formation. We encourage you to explore further writing on our website, such as this piece (atlantaantifa.org/2016/04/03/j).

    On April 26th, 2026, the Sons of Confederate Veterans will again hold their annual participation trophy circlejerk. They will again proclaim "Heritage not Hate," although very few people believe that anymore (stay tuned for a research post soon on the SCV's Nazi and white supremacist overlap). The Georgia SCV's keynote speaker on Saturday is John Weaver. As well as being heavily involved with neo-Confederate circles, Weaver has a long history with racist groups such as the Council of Conservative Citizens.

    The SCV have the support of state legislators and all the protection of our modern police state. And we (as in the people of Georgia) are still going to sandblast Stone Mountain. If not this year, eventually. So to the SCV: enjoy your carving while you can, losers!

  3. Last month, members of the Aryan Freedom Network (AFN)--a militant neo-Nazi organization--held a small "hiking & campout" event at Stone Mountain. An image posted to Telegram shows just three Nazis posing with an AFN flag. (A fourth presumably took the picture.)

    As we have stressed before: the State of Georgia purchased Stone Mountain Park and completed the Confederate carvings on its mountain face as a show of opposition to Civil Rights. The site has an earlier history as the birthplace of the modern Ku Klux Klan.

    As long as the racist carvings remain, the Park will continue to attract organized white supremacists. This obviously creates danger for the surrounding community, especially residents who simply enjoy the Park as a pleasant hike or place to exercise.

    An interesting article on the history of Stone Mountain and its carvings is here:

    For our article from last year exposing the hosts of AFN's "Aryan Fest" in Georgia, see here:

  4. The Stone Mountain Action Coalition is rightly calling for Stone Mountain Park to cancel the upcoming April 29 "Confederate Memorial Day" event:
    stonemountainaction.org/cancel

    The racist nature of this event is obvious. The keynote speaker for the Sons of Confederate Veterans event is John Weaver, a notorious segregationist preacher.

    The SCV's Georgia spokesman is Martin O'Toole, a leader of the white nationalist Charles Martel Society who we have written about previously.

    Last year's SCV rally also featured entertainment from a family tied to white supremacist "Christian Identity" circles. The event attracted Sam Dickson, a longtime white power leader and close associate of O'Toole, as well as at least one member of Patriot Front.

    For as long as the giant Confederate carvings remain on Stone Mountain, it will attract white supremacist organizers. This in no way excuses Stone Mountain Park's decision to facilitate white supremacist gatherings, which endangers others visiting the park as well as the surrounding community.
