Join the Antifascist Fiction Club
by Brian J. White
We’ve talked a lot about Fireside’s mission of resisting fascism and far-right populism. We’ve gotten a lot of positive response from our readers to this, and we wanted to give you all a way to show that you’re not lying down in the face of hatred, bigotry, and violence.
So our design and technology director, Pablo Defendini, designed this fantastic hard enamel pin.
Right now, the only way to get a pin is to back a new $20 reward level on our Patreon. (If you’re already a Patreon backer you can upgrade your pledge to get the pin.) We’ll use $5 of every pledge to support the Southern Poverty Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union each month on your behalf. We think their respective missions of monitoring hate groups and defending our rights in a time of unprecedented attack are essential in the resistance.
We may never get a perfect happily ever after, but this doesn’t have to end in darkness. Donald Trump and Marine LePen and Nigel Farage and all their ilk don’t get to write the end of this story. We do.
Welcome to the Antifascist Fiction Club.
