The antifa (/ænˈtiːfə, ˈæntiˌfɑː/), short for anti-fascist, movement in the United States is a militant far-left-wing, anti-fascist political activist movement. It is made up of activist groups that protest with the use of direct action instead of policy changes.
The methods include protesting, digital activism, property damage, physical violence and harassment against those who they see as fascist, racist, or on the far-right.
The movement has anti-capitalist views and support anarchism, communism, liberalism, social democracy and socialism.
It has been called a terrorist movement by President Donald Trump after antifa took part in the George Floyd protests in 2020. On September 22, 2025, Trump issued an executive order aiming to classify Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
