According to court documents, 57-year-old antifa financier Daryle Lamont Jenkins is behind the Torch Network, an accrediting antifa body responsible for the formal recognition of antifa chapters across America.

Chapters within the national Torch Network include Antifa Sacramento, Rocky Mountain Antifa, Pacific Northwest Antifascist Workers Collective, Atlanta Antifascists, and Portland’s Rose City Antifa, the oldest-known antifa cell in the country, among others. Since 2014, the Torch Network has hosted an annual conference convening its accredited members in major United States cities, such as Chicago, Philadelphia, and Denver, to strategize collectively.

A 2020 federal lawsuit filed against an antifa doxxer uncovered that Jenkins owned and operated the Torch Network’s website, www.torchantifa.org, at the time.

During the discovery process, Jenkins had lawyered up with the help of an international antifa legal aid organization and successfully fought off a subpoena for electronically stored records tied to the nationwide nexus.

Jenkins was accused of “destroy[ing] highly relevant information” by changing the Torch Network’s domain name to www.torch-antifa.org and locking down the site’s internet domain registry settings from public access to private, which shielded the domain owner and registrant from public view.

In a YouTube video, Jenkins admitted to owning the network’s URLs but insisted that he is not in charge of Torch. “Just because we own the URLs, it doesn’t mean a thing,” Jenkins said. “I mean, if I was a landlord, that doesn’t mean I’m family.”

Jenkins thanked Antifa International’s legal defense fund in the 2023 video message, which was uploaded by the transnational antifa outfit, for their financial support in the civil case, saying they “came through and hooked us up.”

“I want to send a shout out to the International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund, who is helping us out with the situation that I think is going to impact on all of us if we do not prevail,” Jenkins told viewers.

Jenkins then called on followers to help replenish the fund, which serves as a war chest for hundreds of antifa affiliates from around the world, including cells in the United States.

Antifa International and the Torch Network maintain intimate ties, both recommending each other to recruits and arrested militants in need of bail money, “emergency relocations,” legal assistance with getting “their charges thrown out altogether,” or tactical supplies.

Jenkins himself raises funds for antifa operations through his tax-exempt charity called One People’s Project.

Jenkins is the founder and executive director of the New Jersey-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which solicits charitable donations via Venmo, CashApp, Patreon, paper checks, and money orders, and provides material support to the antifa cause.

One People’s Project, whose contact information for payment processing is [email protected], does not disclose who its donors or beneficiaries are in tax filings, claiming that it makes less than $50,000 annually, the threshold requiring charities to report yearly revenue.

The organization’s online store also sells “antifascist swag,” such as antifa-themed patches, pins, and T-shirts, proceeds from which are directly donated to Philly Antifa.

Jenkins, a celebrity in antifa circles, has attracted media attention for his antifascist activism. Slate magazine credited Jenkins as the “Public Face of Antifa,” and Vox called him antifa’s “self-appointed spokesperson.”

Asked if he embraces that label, Jenkins said, “Absolutely. I proudly stand with antifa, and I’ve always been antifa, even before people knew what that meant.”

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow has interviewed Jenkins to hear about his work “exposing leaders of the racist Right.” Antifa devotees have hailed him as the “pioneer of doxxing,” with Wired describing Jenkins as an “antifascist doxxing guru.”

Founded by Jenkins in 2000, One People’s Project is “a resource to those on the front lines fighting fascism.”

Its doxxing database, Rogues Gallery, is an alphabetical list containing the private information, including home addresses and personal phone numbers, of those One People’s Project designates as “far-right” figures, such as Fox News host Sean Hannity, investigative journalist James O’Keefe, conservative commentator Ann Coulter, and former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.

“They are the scum of the earth,” One People’s Project says. “Hate Has Consequences” is its slogan.

The Washington Examiner contacted Jenkins, the Torch Network, and One People’s Project for comment.
