Stamford, CT – City officials, anti-defamation groups and residents are condemning recruitment flyers which contained offensive antisemitic information believed to have been left by a white supremacy group in the Belltown, Pepper Ridge and Springdale neighborhoods over the weekend.
The flyers claim that several New England states and cities are “less white” than 10 years ago and instruct people to “organize and resist” by contacting the Nationalist Social Club 131, which operates in the Northeast.
“The City of Stamford has a zero tolerance for hate speech against any person or group, whether it is based on race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, country of origin, gender identity or any other affiliation and we vehemently condemn this disturbing behavior in our community,” Stamford Mayor Caroline Simmons said in a statement on Monday.
“Ensuring residents feel safe after this unsettling behavior is our top priority,” Simmons said, who directed people to contact police if they have information about the flyers.
