Report from Screwston Anti-Fascist Committee and the Space City Anarchist Organization on a recent mobilization to defend a church in Katy, Texas, which was hosting a pro-LGBTQ bingo fundraiser for youth, from a coalition of neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, and Republican groups.

On September 24th, Saturday afternoon, the First Christian Church of Katy held a Drag Bingo fundraiser to buy supplies for transitioning youth.

The event was heavily protested by a wide range of right-wing and white supremacist groups and was successfully defended by antifascists from the Houston and Katy area.

100 antifascists counter-protested against Hitler saluting and swastika flag flying neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, and Christian fascists led by Kelly Neidert in #Katy, #Texas today.

Both sides were heavily attended, and small scuffles broke out throughout the event, primarily between Proud Boys and antifascists.

No serious injuries were sustained by antifascist protesters and the Drag Bingo Fundraiser went on successfully without disruption.
