New York Light Foot Militia

The New York Light Foot Militia (NYLFM) is a privately organized militia in the state of New York. The TLFM was organized in the light foot model after the Idaho Light Foot Militia, which was founded in 2009.

Activities
On 10 June 2017, Members of the New York Light Foot Militia deployed to an ACT! for America-sponsored "March against Sharia" protest, which was met by a larger group of counter-protesters, in Syracuse, New York. The militia interposed themselves between the two groups to prevent fighting and to "make sure all sides were able to exercise their First Amendment rights."

Members of the NYLFM, along with militiamen from several other states, were present during the "Unite the Right" Charlottesville rally in August 2017. After refusing to provide security to the organizers of the rally, who the detachment's leader denounced as "rightwing lunatics," the militia instead decided to self-deploy as neutral peacekeepers. The NYLFM were responsible for breaking up a number of fights during the rally.

On 16 September 2017, members of the NYLFM, along with militiamen from several other states, were present at the Mother of All Rallies, a rally held in support of President Donald Trump. Militia members broke up a number of verbal skirmishes and formed a protective barrier around law enforcement.
