The rally will denounce illegal immigration and the U.S. "open borders policy,'' said organizer Jeff Schoep, the commander of the Minneapolis-based National Socialist Movement.
The Madison gathering was expected to draw about 100 of the group's members from across the nation, he said.
One reason for the Aug. 26 rally is to clear up misperceptions about the group's politics, said Kris Johnson, the group's Wisconsin leader.
"People that come to our rallies and listen to what we have to say are going to be pleasantly surprised at how much they agree with,'' said Johnson, who lives in Green Bay.
