\nconference that is held annually at Montgomery Bell State Park in Burns, TN on Nov. 12-14, 2021. While it has sparked more and more outrage with each outing over the past decade This year will feature a participant of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol as one of its main speakers, as well as politicians from Estonia and Belgium with ties to neo-Nazi groups, one of them facing hate crime charges in his country. In the past, the American Renaissance Conference has brought together those who used the event to network and organize the tragic \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally in Charlottesville, VA. White supremacist Richard Spencer remarked to the attendees of the 2017 conference, that he expected the rally to be \u201ctraumatic for the liberals in Charlottesville.\u201d The conference took place just two weeks before the rally. Since then, the state of Tennessee has done what it can to stem protests against the conference, including considering an ordinance to prevent protests in certain state parks, among them Montgomery Bell. This year its list of speakers in addition to Vincent James Foxx of the Groypers, who participated in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, will include Ruuben Kaalep, a Member of Parliament from Estonia who has had close ties with neo-Nazis in Europe and promotes the denial of the Holocaust and Dries Van Langenhove, a Member of Parliament from Belgium who is also currently being investigated for violating anti-racism laws in that country. Fascists have no place in today\u2019s society, but fascists coming from overseas to network and coordinate with hate groups here should not be allowed. Our elected officials and State Department need to be aware of this conference and these individuals so that they are not allowed to enter the United States and promote their hate while advancing the hate of others. Please contact your local representatives and urge them to be proactive in preventing their visit to the United States. The Antifascist Unity Coalition, a nationwide group of antifascists working to bring attention to the scourge of hate politics, and the Tennessee Anti-Racism Network (TARN), are encouraging all to come out and speak out against this conference in the hopes that they are not allowed to continue to threaten our society.
