Rose City Antifa (RCA) is an antifa group founded 2007 in Portland, Oregon, United States. It has been called the oldest active antifa group in the nation.
History
Rose City Antifa clashed with law enforcement officials and supporters of the Donald Trump presidency following the 2016 presidential election. Prior to a Patriot Prayer rally, the group released a statement saying they would be "unapologetic" over the use of "physical militancy". The group has organized opposition to Patriot Prayer rallies in Portland. According to one of its leaders, the group concentrates on "outing" people whom they believe to be neo-Nazis. According to Alexander Reid Ross, the author of the book Against the Fascist Creep, RCA grew out of the group Anti-Racist Action, which first appeared in 1987, and through RCA "the European and American models were sort of synthesized and the current model of Antifa in the US was developed".
