Port Chester/Rye NAACP with the Port Chester Latino Network Denounce Racists Flyers

The Port Chester/Rye Branch of the NAACP, and the Port Chester Latino Network have released the following statement in response to hateful and race baiting flyers allegedly circulating in the community.

“There is no room in our community for this type divisive vitriol and those who are behind these flyers are cowards.  The African-American and Latino community of Port Chester have the utmost respect for each other.   We have worked together and stood together to bring equality for all. We have reached out to Chief Conway and Capt. Telesca of the Port Chester Police Department to offer our collective assistance with an investigation.  

If nothing else, these flyers will bring an even closer partnership among all the residents.  We will see that our current efforts are redoubled to ensure that Port Chester remains the vibrant, and welcoming community that it is.”
