White supremacist propaganda hits a five-year high, according to annual survey by ADL

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/03/09/adl-annual-survey-finds-rising-white-supremacist-propaganda/11427421002/

Incidents of white supremacist propaganda are at their highest level in at least five years.

That's the finding of an annual survey conducted by the Anti-Defamation League, which documents propaganda incidents nationwide, including flyers, banners and graffiti.

In a report released Thursday morning, the ADL found levels in 2022 were the highest since the survey began in 2018. Incidents rose 38% from 2021, to a total of 6,751.

Antisemitic propaganda incidents also more than doubled in 2022 from the year before, the report found, though the number of incidents registered at colleges decreased slightly from 2021.

“There’s no question that white supremacists and antisemites are trying to terrorize and harass Americans and have significantly stepped up their use of propaganda as a tactic,” said ADL's CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “This is a cowardly attempt to intimidate marginalized communities and those who don’t align with their twisted worldview and draw in new recruits."
