Tess Asplund lives in Sweden and stood in front of 300 members of the Nordic Resistance Movement in 2016 when they tried to march in Stockholm. The group promotes racist and discriminatory ideas. Tess said, "It was an impulse. I was so angry, I just went out on the street. I was thinking, 'hell no, they can't march here!' I had this adrenaline. No Nazi is going to march here, it's not okay."

Tess was later named one of  BBCs most inspirational women in 2016.
