White Supremacy Group Identity Evropa Appears In Seattle: Report

SEATTLE, WA - The white supremacist group Identity Evropa has made an appearance in Seattle. Stickers and posters advertising the group appeared in the South Lake Union neighborhood Monday, according to a report in The Stranger.

The materials appeared on street signs and utility poles. A woman who sent pictures of the stickers and posters to The Stranger said that they were "plastered on almost every light-pole and on the back of every sign, all up and down South Lake Union."

The group - described by the Anti-Defamation League as "a white supremacist group focused on the preservation of 'white American culture' and promoting white European identity - often plasters its advertisements in large cities and college campuses across North America.

The group held a demonstration in Nashville over the weekend, and, according to the Identity Evropa Twitter account, has plastered advertisements recently in cities from Bertha-Hewitt, Minn., to San Diego.

Identity Evropa came to prominence over the summer as the main organizer of the racist demonstrations at the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville. The group is known for its slogan, "You will not replace us," which refers to a plot to replace whites with minorities. The group is based in California and was founded by Nathan Damigo, an ex-Marine.

There have been dozens of similar incidents around Puget Sound over the last year. The white nationalist group Patriot Front put posters up around Bellevue and Gig Harbor in November.
