Why we laugh & organize

Make democracy safe, joyful, and honest for every American.

We are artists, veterans, students, parents, small-business owners, and even former campaign volunteers from across the political spectrum. Whether you voted Republican, blue, independent, or once wore a MAGA hat, you belong here if you are ready to retire corruption and defend the promise of the United States. Every action we run is built to reassure people that they are not alone in wanting a joyful, honest democracy.

Our logo is a pledge for systemic reform: we organize toward a 28th Amendment that removes corporate money from politics, ends the Trump brand of strongman grift, and restores a government that serves people first. We spread that message through actions and laughter, then document what works so more Americans can feel the same relief.

After every action, submit an After-Action Report through our contact form. HQ reviews each story, shares highlights on our site and social channels, and shows the country that a broad, nonviolent coalition is already winning.

Strategy Snapshot

Humor knocks extremism off balance. Discipline keeps our communities safe. Organizing together makes winning fun again.

What Our Logo Signals

The Antifascist Fun Brigade emblem marks a broad American coalition committed to passing a 28th Amendment, cleaning out MAGA-era corruption, and protecting liberty for neighbors who disagree with us on everything but democracy.

After-Action Amplification

Submit your action debrief through our contact form and we will vet, publish, and promote it so other chapters see what worked, feel less isolated, and remix your tactics.

Our theory of change

Nonviolent movements succeed when they mobilize broad coalitions, maintain discipline, and own the cultural conversation. We blend the rigor of movement strategy with the playfulness of satire to remove fear, invite new volunteers, and build momentum that cannot be ignored.

Every campaign starts with clear power analysis, rapid legal review, and a tone check that ensures we punch up at the powerful, not our neighbors. We then design dilemma actions that either proceed or force authoritarians into embarrassing overreactions. Either way, democracy wins.

What we do

Practical, joyful tactics ready for plug-and-play campaigns in any community.

Proof it works

Receipt 1

Nonviolence Wins More

Across the last century, well-organized nonviolent movements succeeded twice as often as violent uprisings, especially when they drew broad coalitions.

Receipt 2

Laughtivism Builds Participation

Otpor activists in Serbia turned repression into ridicule when police literally arrested a barrel painted like Milosevic. Participation spiked within weeks.

Receipt 3

Humor Shapes Culture

From the 2018 Trump Baby blimp to K-pop fans pranking a 2020 Tulsa rally, playful tactics grabbed global coverage and starved authoritarians of spectacle.

Our principles

  • Nonviolent discipline in all actions and communications.
  • Coalitions that welcome neighbors across race, faith, class, and party, including conservatives ready to move past Trumpism, who reject extremism.
  • Truth-first messaging grounded in verifiable sources and rapid corrections.
  • Systemic reforms that lock in a 28th Amendment and keep corporate money out of democracy.

Accessibility & safety

Every action and asset we publish includes an accessibility checklist, safety briefing, and digital security reminder. Start with these essentials and customize them for your community.
