A coalition of far-left agitators is planning to protest the 2026 Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas, next month, sparking concerns about security.

The Dallas Against the Trump Agenda coalition includes the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NAARPR), the DFW Anti-War Committee, El Movimiento and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO). The agitators are seeking permits, lining up legal support, organizing training, and making signs, according to the Dallas Morning News.
There is also a strong Antifa presence in the Dallas area, but they may be on their heels after eight members of a North Texas Antifa cell were recently hit with maximum or near-maximum federal prison terms amounting to a combined 450 years in prison.
Organizers of the protest reportedly say they want the GOP’s convention to include voices beyond those of “politicians, billionaires and Republican Party officials.”
President Trump on Wednesday urged fellow Republicans to attend the convention at American Airline Center in downtown Dallas on September 9 and 10, calling it “THE GREATEST RALLY OF THEM ALL.”
“For the first time EVER, Republicans from all across our Great Country will come together for a Midterm Convention to celebrate our Tremendous Victories and Success, showcase our incredible Candidates, and prepare for the most important Midterm Election in History,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“The Radical Left Lunatics are trying to destroy our Country, but they have failed, and will never be successful, unless we allow that to happen — AND WE WON’T!” the president added.
Many of the Republican attendees will be walking to the American Airline Center from hotels blocks away as far-left agitators swarm downtown Dallas.
Dallas police told the Morning News the department “is aware of the planned demonstrations but has not announced protest zones or a march route.” Spokesperson Corbin Rubinson said officials will release details about security perimeters—including maps of traffic impacts and detours—at a later date.
The NAARPR is a radical activist organization that focuses on issues it considers to be racist or targeting poor communities, according to Influence Watch.
The group praised the violent protests following the death of George Floyd in 2021, referring to them as the “George Floyd Rebellion.” NAARPR also supports the release of imprisoned members of the Black Panther Party and has called for divestment from Israel.
The group was formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1973, in part to free radical-left activist and founding member Angela Davis from charges of kidnapping, conspiracy, and murder.
The DFW Anti-War Committee, which describes itself as “a grassroots organization working to end our country’s many wars,” urged fellow radicals on Facebook to join “our contingent for the March on the Republican National Convention!”
The group said it would meet at 1:00 pm. on Sept. 10, at Pike Park, just one block from the venue.
“This September we are going to show the Trump regime that they are not welcome in Dallas!” the group said in its Facebook post.
Apparently under the impression that the purpose of the convention is to nominate a presidential candidate, the group added: “Join us for a protest on the Republican Midterm Convention, where the ruling class will choose their new king, as we stand up and fight back for our communities here in Dallas-Fort Worth.”

Jo Hargis of the DFW Anti-War Committee told the Dallas Morning News that “people are welcome from all around the country to join in this protest.”
El Movimiento DFW is a radical anti-ICE organization that describes itself as “a grassroots movement building people power and community defense in the DFW metroplex.”
The group says it brings together “activists, neighbors, and local organizations to educate, connect, and take action against injustice,” which to them, amounts to any immigration enforcement and police activity.
The FRSO is a self-described socialist and communist organization with a nationwide membership and chapters. The organization, which seeks to build a new communist party based on Marxism-Leninism, encouraged voters in swing districts to support Democrat Party candidates in the 2022 midterm elections, according to Influence Watch.
The group helped organize protests on the streets of Minneapolis last winter that led to the ICE-involved shootings of two agitators.
According to Kyle Shideler, Director and Senior Analyst for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy, FRSO was investigated by the FBI after an undercover police source provided them with some alarming information.
The informant told the feds “they were stockpiling arms for the revolution and had close ties to terror groups PFLP [The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine] and FARC [Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia],” Shideler reported on X.
He noted that FRSO still has ties to PFLP and CPP/NPA [Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army] terrorists.
“As of 2015 the FBI still assessed that FRSO supported PFLP, NPA and FARC and described their behavior as consistent with that of trying to overthrow the U.S. government,” Shideler said.
The FBI recently questioned an agitator in Orlando, Florida, about the FRSO, according to statements made by members of the group and the Committee to Stop FBI Repression, last Friday.
The groups are on high alert as the feds infiltrate radical leftist groups using undercover operatives and other methods, according to the Washington Examiner.
“Both organizations warned against talking to agents if approached and urged notifying those in their networks if they receive a visit,” the Examiner reported.
One intelligence report mentioned the group’s plan to protest the Republican National Convention that was initially scheduled to take place in Jacksonville in 2020, but the event was canceled due to COVID-19.
“FRSO has a previous history of violent activity and civil unrest intended to manipulate and influence the electoral process and public perceptions, particularly playing a role in disrupting Republican and Democratic National Conventions,” the FBI report said.
“The FRSO has helped organize these protests outside the conventions of both political parties Republican and Democrat for years. But we shouldn’t let that make us complacent,” Shideler told American Greatness. “This is a Communist organization which has documented ties to multiple designated terrorist groups, and which the FBI indicated as recently as 2015 seeks the overthrow of the U.S. government. I’m hopeful law enforcement will be vigilant and continue their investigations into this group.”
