A recent court ruling stripped the Proud Boys of their trademark, compelling them to seek permission from the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church for any use of their name or symbols. This judgement follows a violent attack by the group on the church, resulting in a significant previous judgment in favor of the church for $2.8 million. The decision also permits the church to claim profits from merchandise sales by the Proud Boys, highlighting accountability for their actions and emphasizing the church's advocacy for racial justice against terrorizing behavior.
Under the new ruling, the Proud Boys can no longer sell merchandise or use their name without permission from the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Enrique Tarrio condemned the church's actions, expressing his contempt for the judgments made against him and calling for the church's nonprofit status to be revoked.
