Atalante Quebec has staged anti-immigration rallies, and pasted stickers.[2] The group hands out food in Quebec City's underprivileged neighbourhoods but, according to a recent communiqué, only to people of "Neo-French origin."[3]

In 2017, Membrs of Atalante joined a protest with La Meute and Storm Alliance. Atalante unfurled a banner reading "Le Quebec aux Québécois," or Quebec for Quebecers.[4] On May 23, 2018, members of Atalante entered the offices of the Vice news media in Montreal, masked. They shouted, threw documents on the ground, and intimidated journalist Simon Coutu, who wrote about them. [5][1]
