From their website:

Our goal is to stand as a direct counterpoint to the nationalism of the alt-right and its corruption of American values by building solidarity, unity, and common defense of the Constitution. We do this by working in conjunction with other civil society organizations and pro-democracy institutions to reinvigorate and strengthen America’s democracy to ensure the efficacy of our elections, guarantee peaceful access to the democratic process, protect communities targeted by the alt-right, and countering misinformation that spreads hate or seeks to undermine the democratic process.

Patriotic colors and imagery have been associated with far-right and fascist groups in recent years, as they peddle their fake patriotism and toxic nationalism. It is the stance of the American Iron Front that they have stolen these colors and imagery from the American people, and have no right to use them.

By using these colors and imagery, the AIF seeks to reclaim this imagery for the American people, and to disassociate it from our opponents.

We know that returning this imagery to the American people will take time, as its association is firmly entrenched with our opponents. But the American people deserve to have their nation's colors and imagery associated not with vile hate, toxic nationalism and evil, but with Liberty, Equality, Freedom and Democracy.

The great American Experiment was built by people of many creeds, races, sexualities, genders, and identities. We at the AIF believe our greatest asset in safeguarding our democracy is the diversity and inclusivity of the people of this country. Its future rests with We the People.

    This will never get off the ground if only because the "American Iron Front" sounds extremely fascist.

    Huh, we're tough as Iron and we're Guarding traditional American values, against both conservatism, AND judo-bolshivism.

    What if we called ourselves the Iron Guard?

    Even got a cool symbol and everything.

    Couldn't they have at least picked a name that sounds less like something a fascist paramilitary would call itself

    It's so funny to me that the centrist liberals can see the ground collapsing beneath them, but instead of spending any money on higher wages or building more housing, or doing anything at all to improve material conditions, they're going with this pointless bullshit.

    Liberalism hasn't been a fighting religion for nearly a century now. No one is ever going to be inspired to fight for the collapsing status quo and the "common defense of the Constitution" (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean) when half the country thinks the Feds are building FEMA death camps, and the other half recognizes the supreme court as an active threat that needs to be dismantled.

      thats not fair, they might do like their progenitors in Germany and join forces with the fascists to kill the communists as a 'greater threat to democracy,' before being promptly shot by the fascists themselves afterward all the while being like surprised-pika

    Technically true as long as you don't care that some of them were slightly less equal than others.

    And wasn't the original Iron Front liberals' answer to Antifa too?

    About 400 years too late, settlers.
