Alt Right Groups Are Trying To Recruit College Students Like They're In A Frat

Identity Evropa, which coined the "You Will Not Replace Us" chant, is leading a guerilla recruitment campaign on college campuses across the country, according to a new report.

In early August, members of a white nationalist group called Identity Evropa took the stage at a pro-immigration forum at a Miami community college and unfurled a banner that proclaimed "Secure Our Border." The political action was reportedly part of the group's "Project Siege" campaign—a guerilla recruitment effort for new members of the alt-right taking place on college campuses across the country.

Now, according to a new report from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Identity Evropa's recruitment campaign has intensified since the events in Charlottesville. The ADL found that there were 65 instances of Identity Evropa distributing propaganda on college campuses in 2016. The hate-group tracker projects a growing trend, as it's identified at least a dozen universities in three states that have been targeted by the group only two weeks into the fall semester.

Primarily, members of Identity Evropa plaster stickers and flyers on campuses featuring classical European sculpture and slogans like "Protect Your Heritage" and "History Is Ours." They've hit big party schools like Ohio State, religious institutions like Texas Christian University, and the notoriously liberal Evergreen State College in Washington. When they're not operating in secret, they tend to target zones on campus that are designed to promote free speech, like when they stenciled the Freedom of Expression Tunnel at North Carolina State University in June. However, they also approach people on campuses and are beginning to engage in direct action, like what took place in Miami last month.

This is fucking scary. We have got to combat the hate wherever we see it, and especially aggressive recruiters on college campuses need to be reported.
