  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!

  6. 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:

  7. What are they afraid of finding out? If these council members were concerned about fraud, why would they vote no to transparency, AGAIN? Were any city employees illegally using bank login credentials that should have been deactivated?
    Why did Teresa Crowe, Mark Marianos, Anita Bass and Ryan Smith refuse to investigate whether former city employee bank logn credentials were being used after the employees were no longer employed with the city? #MAGAmountain #rightwing #coverup? #stonemountain

  11. At the end of Black History Month in February, the Dekalb County branch of the NAACP reported that an important historical marker had been stolen from Lithonia, a majority-Black eastern suburb of Atlanta. The marker had been erected in 2021.

    Our city, and the South as a whole, is fighting against "Lost Cause" white supremacist propaganda in order to achieve a wider, clearer understanding of the past. There has been resistance and racist backlash to that resistance: the grotesque carving of Confederate generals that defaces neighboring Stone Mountain is the most prominent example. Whoever stole the Lithonia sign hates that progress towards truth and desperately wants to erase Black history from our shared story. They will fail. We, and everyone else who stands against racism, will make sure they fail.

    Here is the text of the marker.

    "Mob Violence in Lithonia: After Reconstruction was abandoned in 1877, white mobs from Lithonia terrorized the Black community through lynchings that denied Black people their constitutional rights and equal protection under the law. On July 27, 1887, a white mob from Lithonia lynched Reuben Hudson near the Georgia Railroad stop in Redan. Mr. Hudson lived in Covington but worked in Redan. On July 26th, a white woman in Redan reported being assaulted by a "short and heavy set, and very black" man. Low on train fare that day, Mr. Hudson walked 11 miles from Redan to Conyers and boarded a train closer to home. A conductor presumed Mr. Hudson fit the woman's description and had him arrested in Covington. The next morning, as police officers escorted Mr. Hudson back to Redan by train, an angry mob of white men boarded at Lithonia, intent on lynching him. Though legally required to protect Mr. Hudson, the officers handed him over to the mob in Redan without resistance. Despite his pleas of innocence, the mob dragged and tortured Mr. Hudson before hanging him to a tree. Five years later, on April 2, 1892, a white mob from Lithonia began to chase two unidentified Black men after a young white girl reported an assault. When the mob returned to Lithonia without the men, it was reported that "it was generally understood that they were lynched." Despite a functioning legal system in DeKalb County, mob participants were not held accountable for these lynchings."

  12. Sons of Confederate Veterans attracted somewhere around 250-300 attendees at #StoneMountain today--markedly lower energy than even last year, and few young people.

  13. 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.

  15. Patriot Front has recently been active in the Atlanta metro area: here's a sticker removal photo from Stone Mountain village. Thanks to the local community for all the tips we get on their activity. Keep vigilant and try to get them on camera.

  16. Community pressure got the pro-slavery monument removed from Decatur Square. Now we need to focus on removing the Confederate and KKK markers from Stone Mountain. Sign the petition. chng.it/rGmqYNPZkk #Georgia #StoneMountain #Confederate #Diversity #inclusion #RacialJustice

  17. Sons of Confederate Veterans [were] confronted with numbers at #StoneMountain...sending a message both to neo-Confederates + park management that so long as racists are allowed to hold space there, [we] will be willing to show up and combat them. itsgoingdown.org/ruining-confe
