New York, NY – New Yorkers gathered to protest outside the 2018 Delivering Alpha Conference at the Pierre Hotel on July 18, 2018, where Steve Bannon participated as a speaker, to make clear that his far-right fascist beliefs are not welcome in NYC. The group also protested major investment firms that profit off of detentions and deportations that attended the conference.

Steve Bannon, former White House Senior Counsel and Executive Chair of Breitbart News in a speech to France’s far-right National Front earlier this year. Echoing rhetoric heard throughout Europe in the 30s and 40s, he told the gathering of modern-day fascists that “the tide of history is with us, and it will compel us to victory after victory after victory.” He encouraged the group to stick to its nationalistic, fascist roots. “Let them call you racists. Let them call you xenophobes. Let them call you nativists,” he implored the crowd. “Wear it as a badge of honor.”

Bannon, one of the masterminds behind Trump’s rise and his xenophobic agenda, will be interviewed by CNBC’s Michelle Caruso-Cabrera in a late afternoon session titled “Midterms, China and Trump: A Political and Economic Perspective with Steve Bannon.” Bannon’s session will be followed by a cocktail reception, where he and other attendees of the conference will have an opportunity to shmooze.

It is scandalous that, as immigrant families live in fear across the country, Wall Street executives who profit off of Trump’s detention and deportation machinery are getting set to socialize with a key architect of Trump’s victory who has known white supremacist ties and who helped elevate a crassly xenophobic, racist political agenda to the center of US politics.
