History has shown us that, when left unchecked, hateful activity will grow and escalate.

That is clear when looking at the pattern of #Patriot #Front’s behavior.

The group has moved from flyering and stickering on college campuses,
to outright property destruction,
to in-person marches that have resulted in alleged assaults of people of color

Plaintiffs brought this lawsuit to hold the Patriot Front accountable for their escalating campaign of #vandalism and #intimidation and to send a message that hateful activity will not be tolerated.

It takes courage to stand up to hate,” said Arthur Ago, Director of the Criminal Justice Project.

“Patriot Front’s attempt to erase the life and achievements of #Arthur #Ashe, a revered son of Richmond, will not go unpunished.”
