Red and Anarchist Skinheads (RASH) is a left-wing anti-racist, anti-fascist skinhead group.
RASH includes red-skinheads and anarcho-skinheads. It was officially launched on January 1, 1993 by members of the Mayday Crew, a left-wing skinhead and punk group based in the New York City area. The Mayday Crew was formed due to in-fighting between members of New York City's Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice chapter, over the murder of a homosexual man by anti-racist, yet right-wing, skinheads.
Shortly after the initial call went out for the formation of a network, chapters formed in other countries around the world, mostly from existing left-wing skinhead crews.
Some of the goals of the network are to:
- Dispel the myth, in the media and in mind of the general public, that all skinheads are racist
- Keep alive and expand the "true" skinhead subculture through means such as music (Oi!, Ska, Reggae, Soul, Hardcore etc.), fashion, fanzines, fliers, concerts and other gatherings.
- Create a space for left-wing ideas to exist in the skinhead scene.
- Combat, physically and politically, the existence of far-Right ideas in the skinhead scene
- Articulate the connection between the working-class multi-racial skinhead subculture and left-wing ideas.
