The 2010 Dresden anti-fascist blockade, organized by the umbrella group Dresden Without Nazis[1] (Dresden nazifrei), an anti-fascist alliance of several German organizations, was a counter-demonstration against a planned march of neo-Nazis in Dresden on February 13, 2010. The Dresden Without Nazis alliance is supported by anti-fascist organizations as well as politicians from the Left Party, the Green Party and the Social Democratic Party and leading members of trade unions. The alliance coordinated large, peaceful blockades consisting of large crowds of people to stop the neo-Nazi demonstration, a strategy that was successful in preventing the neo-Nazis from marching through Dresden.[2][3]
