I’ve been seeing it everywhere but I’ve never heard of the history behind it. None of my searches have come up with much. I’ve received some stickers from friends and I love them, but I’m not sure what exactly it’s supporting.

The fox symbol may have to do with this:
“The “silent fox” gesture – where the hand is posed to resemble an animal with upright ears (the little and forefinger) and a closed mouth (the middle fingers pressed against the thumb) – has long been seen as a useful teaching tool by educators in Germany and elsewhere. It signals to children that they should stop talking and listen to their teacher.
But authorities in the port city of Bremen say the symbol is “in danger of being mistaken” for the right-wing extremist “wolf salute”, from which it is indistinguishable.” Source
Though I have no confirmation of that.
I’m unsure about the phrase as well. It’s Spanish. It may originate from the time of Francoist Spain.
There’s an organisation of that name founded after Neonazis murdered some young antifascist skinheads (one in Madrid as far as I remember), and they try to focus on the victims of fascist violence.
Besides that I would guess as well that it has roots in the Spanish Civil War. The antifascist and anarchist movement including unions like the CNT fought against the fascists, even though it was a very brutal war with lots of victims on the republican/antifascist side.
