Alpharetta, GA – Alpharetta Police Department is investigating after antisemitic flyers were distributed in several neighborhoods overnight on Sunday.
The mayor of Alpharetta, Jim Gilvin, denounced the flyers which he said were similar to ones that have been seen in other metro Atlanta neighborhoods in recent months.
“On behalf of the City of Alpharetta and the City Council, I am disturbed and deeply disappointed by these flyers,” Gilvin said. “As a City, we fully support the freedoms provided by the First Amendment, but denounce antisemitism in all its forms. Alpharetta is a diverse, welcoming, and inviting community, one that values and supports our differences.”
Gilvin stated simply that “hate has no place in Alpharetta, and it is not who we are.”
Police said the flyers were distributed in the following neighborhoods:
- Sundew Drive
- PineHigh Dtive
- Ridgewood Way
- Park Creek Drive
- Pinewalk Forest
Gov. Brian Kemp issued a statement condemning the act:
