The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today strongly condemned the recent, hateful fliering effort by a Ku Klux Klan group in Casper, Wyoming and called upon all people to speak out against hate.

According to media reports, the Ku Klux Klan, a racist, anti-Semitic movement with a history of members engaged in criminal activity, posted and distributed fliers throughout a north Casper neighborhood. The fliers contained reportedly hateful messages and defined a member of the Klan “as the defender of our Race [and] the defender of our Constitution.”

“Polluting a neighborhood with messages of hate affects all of us, not just those groups targeted by the purveyors of hate,” said Scott Levin, ADL Mountain States Regional Director. “It is critical that society respond to those who seek to provoke hostility by sending messages of inclusivity and respect. ADL calls upon the entire Wyoming community to speak out strongly against hate.”

The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world’s leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry. For more information about ADL’s work in the Mountain States Region, visit mountainstates.adl.org.
