Cancelled – Forum: White Nationalism in Kitsap County

September 9, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

 

Olympic College, Bremerton, ENGINEERING Bldg. 117, Rotunda

This event is postponed.

A forum to help us identify and understand white nationalist and white supremacist ideology and groups (including those in our region) so that we can challenge their harmful rhetoric and actions.

The session will provide an introduction to white nationalism (what it is, its origins and activities) along with information on other forms of anti-democratic nationalism (so-called “patriot” and militia types, and anti-Indian groups). Then we will learn details concerning groups active in Kitsap County and dialogue about what can be done to counter them.

Featured Speakers:
Chuck Tanner, Advisory Board Member for the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights. IREHR.org, ctanner@irehr.org.
Tracy Flood, President of the Bremerton Chapter of the NAACP. She is a lawyer and an advocate.
NAACP Bremerton, https://www.naacpbremerton.org/
