When Nashville Antifa, a local anarchist group, organized the workers solidarity rally, Brandon Curran, of Rutherford County, and Michael Graham, of White House, Tenn., started planning a counterprotest. “We’re here simply to make sure that, if they want to protest and not mess stuff up, we don’t have a problem with that,” Graham said. “Because for us to try to come and stop it would mean we’re turning into the very thing we hate, which is them.”
