On Saturday, April 15, Emily Rose Marshall drove up to Berkeley, California, from Los Angeles with a group of friends who were part of the anarchist Oak Roots Collective. They had heard about the “free speech” rally being held in Berkeley by an array of Donald Trump supporters, militiamen, and white supremacists. “We saw this was a rally meant to uplift neo-Nazis and the alt-right,” Marshall says. “We wanted to be bodies yelling and screaming in the street, adding to the number of people letting neo-Nazis know they couldn’t just show up for racism.”
