Red and Anarchist Skinheads (RASH) is a left-wing anti-racist, anti-fascist skinhead group.

RASH was officially launched on January 1, 1993 by members of the Mayday Crew, a left-wing skinhead and punk crew based in the New York City area, and that was itself a result on in-figthing within NYC SHARP over the murder of a homosexual man by anti-racist, yet right-wing, skinheads.

Shortly after the initial call went out for the formation of a network, chapters formed in other countries around the world, mostly from existing left-wing skinhead crews.

Some of the goals of the network are to:

• Dispel the myth, in the media and in mind of the general public, that all skinheads are racist
• Keep alive and expand the "true" skinhead subculture through means such as music (Oi!, Ska, Reggae, Soul, Hardcore etc.), fashion, fanzines, fliers, concerts and other gatherings.
• Create a space for left-wing ideas to exist in the skinhead scene.
• Combat, physically and politically, the existence of far-Right ideas in the skinhead scene
• Articulate the connection between the working-class multi-racial skinhead subculture and left-wing ideas.
