The International Antifa Defence Fund has announced the shutdown of its donation infrastructure to "protect our donors and recipients" following a declaration by the U.S. President labeling Antifa as terrorists. The announcement was made by the fund, which is associated with Antifa militant and academic Mark Bray from the Rutgers University History Department.
The organization stated that it plans to relocate its operations overseas, implying that it was previously based in the United States. The fund had utilized American platforms such as Patreon, FundRazr, and The Action Network for its fundraising efforts.
This development comes amid heightened scrutiny and controversy surrounding Antifa and its activities in the U.S.
