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.
