Among the far-right groups engaged in organizing the march were the clubs of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer,[21] The Right Stuff,[22] the National Policy Institute,[23] and four groups that form the Nationalist Front:[20] the neo-Confederate League of the South,[20] the Traditionalist Workers Party,[24] Vanguard America,[24] and the National Socialist Movement.[20] Other groups involved in the rally were the Ku Klux Klan,[6] the Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights,[24] the 3 Percenters,[9] Identity Evropa,[2] the Oath Keepers,[25] the American Guard,[26] the Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia,[27] the New York Light Foot Militia,[28] the Virginia Minutemen Militia,[29] the Detroit Right Wings,[30] the Rise Above Movement,[3] True Cascadia,[31] and Anti-Communist Action.[26]
Prominent far-right figures in attendance included National Policy Institute Chairman Richard Spencer,[32] entertainer Baked Alaska,[32] former Libertarian Party candidate Augustus Invictus,[33] former Klan Imperial Wizard David Duke,[34] Identity Evropa leader Nathan Damigo,[35] Traditionalist Youth Network CEO Matthew Heimbach,[32] Rebel Media journalist Faith Goldy,[36] Right Stuff founder Mike Enoch,[32] League of the South founder Michael Hill,[3] Red Ice host Henrik Palmgren,[37] Right Side Broadcasting Network host Nicholas Fuentes,[38] YouTube personality James Allsup,[38] AltRight.com editor Daniel Friberg,[39] former Business Insider CTO Pax Dickinson,[40] Right Stuff blogger Johnny Monoxide,[41] Daily Stormer writer Robert "Azzmador" Ray,[42] Daily Caller contributor and rally organizer Jason Kessler,[43] and Radical Agenda host Christopher Cantwell.[44][45] Gavin McInnes, the leader of the self-described "Western chauvinist" Proud Boys group, was invited to attend but declined because of an unwillingness "to be associated with explicit neo-Nazis."[46] In June, ahead of the rally, McInnes declared that "we need to distance ourselves from them," but "after backlash to the original disavowal flared-up from Alt-Right circles, the statement was withdrawn and replaced with another distancing the Proud Boys from the event yet also encouraging those who 'feel compelled' to attend."[47]
