A lawsuit has shed light on the operations and financial networks of Antifa in Dallas, revealing connections between prominent members and their activities. According to court filings obtained by the Dallas Express, Christopher Guillott is alleged to be a key figure in Antifa’s North Texas network, while Meghan Grant is linked to the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club (JBGC), a known ally of the group.
The case originates from a violent clash in April 2023 at a children-targeted drag show, where Antifa members allegedly attacked members of a Catholic fraternal organization. Victims Joshua Finecy, Anthony Long, and Kyle Randle brought the lawsuit.
Meghan Grant, described as a central JBGC member, was convicted in September 2024 for organizing the violent attack. Christopher Guillott was acquitted of charges related to assaulting a police officer during the same incident. Meanwhile, Samuel Fowlkes, caught on video committing an assault, awaits trial after repeated delays.
The investigation revealed decentralized fundraising methods for legal defense, including platforms like CashApp, PayPal, and Venmo. Major funding reportedly came from the International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund and a European artist tied to Antifa.
Court documents showed that Grant and Guillott used multiple devices and encrypted platforms like Signal and Discord to coordinate with JBGC members, highlighting efforts to conceal their communications. Guillott was identified as managing the Elm Fork JBGC social media accounts.
Concerns have also arisen over potential evidence suppression during the trial, as forensic analysis indicated incomplete production of materials.
Since the lawsuit was filed, Dallas has seen a significant decrease in Antifa-related activities, with the group’s presence reportedly diminished.
