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.
