On one side, a man with bulging muscles and a microphone interviewed a group of eventgoers while a cameraman donning an America First baseball cap videoed for Blexit. Just a few feet away, members of a countermovement waved a handmade sign that read, Blexit = Black people for white supremacist fascism.

She is an activist with "Resist Fascism", which is something like a front organization for commie-cult Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. They also run another group of quasi-front organizations on college campuses, called Revolution Clubs.
They are both infamous AND something of a joke at my alma mater, UChicago. And have been for much longer than the 40 years since I attended. Here is an interview (c. 2019) in the campus newspaper that features her and also provides some RevCom Club anecdotes.
