When word got out that NARSOL—a group known for advocating on behalf of sex offenders, including those with pedophilic tendencies—was planning to hold its 2025 conference at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Autonomous Proud Boys didn’t stay silent.
We took immediate action. Our members launched a rapid-response campaign to shine a spotlight on this event and make it crystal clear: we will not allow organizations that normalize the abuse of children to operate unchecked in our communities.
And our voices were heard.
We commend Hilton and the DoubleTree management for doing the right thing. After being made aware of the nature of NARSOL’s agenda, they chose to cancel the event. That’s what standing up for children looks like.
This is a win—not just for the Proud Boys—but for every decent person who believes children must be protected, not preyed upon. We will always show up. We will always speak out.
And for the record, NARSOL/Vivante Espero are lying when they say we made threats. That’s Antifa who makes threats and burns down cities, not us. We just promise to show up, then we show up.
Pedophilia is not advocacy. It’s a crime. And we will never let it find safe harbor in our cities.
