Antifa to host covert training conference in Philadelphia
6 Oct 2025 ~~ By Mia Cathell
Antifa activists are hosting a three-day training conference for fellow antifascists in
Philadelphia this week, despite Democrats insisting that Antifa is not an organization.
The annual Philly Skillshare Convergence will occur over the coming Friday through Sunday, according to an
advertisement circulating in Antifa circles.
So-called
“skillshares” are educational sessions where activists gather to learn street-level strategies, often militant in nature.
This year’s skillshare in Philadelphia is slated to offer a series of hourlong workshops, including a lesson on evading law enforcement and eluding capture.
“Don’t turn yourself in,” the plenary’s description says. “Be fugitive.” That particular course will teach preparedness practices and tactics for “resist[ing] state coercion.”
Held
annually since 2020, the covert conference is intended to “strengthen collective capacities” for “organizing [and] attacking.”
Only a trusted few are privy to planning details. The venue is at an undisclosed location. To see the event’s address, attendees must contact organizers through Proton Mail, an end-to-end encrypted email service.

Antifa organizers submit content to the Philly Anti-Capitalist, and the website will accordingly issue communiqués, announcements about upcoming Philadelphia-based meetups, and “reportbacks.” For instance, in mid-September, the Philly Anti-Capitalist published
a report back of “comrades coming from Los Angeles” to relay “tactical observations” about the uprisings against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Other major U.S. cities have hosted
similarly styled skillshares in recent months. Chicago was the setting for
a fall 2024 skillshare intentionally held on the eve of the presidential election. “Let’s take care of each other so we can be dangerous together,” anarchist organizers said in the
marketing material. Indianapolis saw
one too at a black-owned bookstore ahead of Inauguration Day.
Commentary:
On the eve of America's 250th anniversary, in the city of Brotherly love, where the Declaration of Independence was crafted, American hating anarchists are plotting the destruction of the constitution under the protection of an American hating Soros toady DA.
They're just a bunch of anarchists claiming to be anti-fascists when most of them can't even define Fascism. What most of them can't even see is that demanding that others conform to their way of thought and then trying to coerce them through force and violence is a hallmark of the very thing they claim to stand against. These "Useful Idiots" are just pawns for the Democrats for a Socialist America, anarchist fantasy of their organization's leadership.
