BAMN is committed to defeating Donald Trump and his fascist movement by any means necessary. This moment in history calls for bold leaders who are prepared to stand on the truth and lead in action. BAMN exists to develop the conscious political method needed to turn our struggles into fights that CAN WIN, learning both from the successes and mistakes of our own struggles, and from the most successful leaders of mass movements like Martin Luther King and Frederick Douglass.

We must build an integrated, youth-led, mass, militant new civil rights and immigrant rights movement. Our movement can have much greater power than Trump’s fascist movement, but we must unite the struggles against racism, to stop deportations, for full citizenship rights for immigrants with and without papers, for freedom of speech and defense of democracy, for LGBT+ equality, for women’s equality, for victory to the Palestinian struggle, and to solve the climate crisis, together with a revitalized militant labor movement. Our movement is integrated and international, and we are fighting for fundamental equality and freedom for all of humanity, for a new kind of society. We are fighting to put the oppressed in power.

The Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary, commonly shortened to By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), is a militant, American far-left group[1][2][3] that participates in protests and litigation to achieve its aims. It is a front organization for the Revolutionary Workers League.[4][5][6][7][8]

BAMN was formed in 1995 to oppose the July 20, 1995, decision by Regents of the University of California to ban affirmative action as The Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action By Any Means Necessary. It ran a slate of candidates in the April 1996 Associated Students of the University of California election on a platform of defeating California Proposition 209.[9] The proposition passed in November, prohibiting state governmental institutions from considering race, sex, or ethnicity for employment, contracting, and education.

In 1997, BAMN expanded to Michigan, where it organized student support for the affirmative action policy of the University of Michigan Law School at Ann Arbor (UMLS) as a result of a challenge to that policy via Grutter v. Bollinger.

4. Being judged as 'guilty by association' is easier to avoid, if one is informed about such organizations.
