Flyers disseminated by hate groups in 2019 often focused on themes of 'censorship' and free speech, anti-Jewish tropes and nationalist rhetoric.
"White supremacists see propaganda distribution—including fliering, leafleting and stickering—as a convenient and practically anonymous way to promote their messages of hate and intolerance," the group's CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, said in a press release.
Of the total, 630 incidents in 2019 occurred on school campuses, a little less than double the number of campus incidents that took place in 2018. The propaganda efforts included messages targeting minority groups, such as African Americans, Jews, Muslims and LGBTQ people, among others. The propaganda efforts were largely directed by three white supremacist groups, according to the ADL. Patriot Front, the American Identity Movement and the New Jersey European Heritage Association were connected to approximately 90 percent of the incidents documented in the report.
