'Pro-White' Group Sending Wrong Message In Danvers: Police

DANVERS, MA — Danvers police are condemning the message of a group describing itself as a "pro-white, street-oriented fraternity" that has left literature advertising its views to residents of Danvers and surrounding communities.

Police said they are aware that "The Nationalist Social Club" has recently been distributing materials around town and the North Shore.

"We are aware of similar incidents in neighboring communities and ask that anyone with information pertaining to the origin of this literature contact the police department," police said. "Danvers will continue to promote and encourage inclusivity as one of the community's core values."

Anyone with information on the materials or the group in question is asked to contact Danvers police at 978-774-1212 or Jasmine Ramon, the town's Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, at 978-774-0001 Ext 3036.
