It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Law Review by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. Google, Charlottesville, and the Need to Protect Private Employees’ Political Speech INTRODUCTION Consider that you are the owner of a popular hot dog eatery in Berkeley, California. One day in early August, after a long day of sausage sales, you return home and turn on the news, only to see the face of one of your employees participating in a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.1 The next day, a popular Twitter account releases a photo of your employee, mentioning your restaurant, and calling on you to terminate the employee. You find yourself in a tough position. On one hand, you are in charge of a private entity (the hot dog restaurant), with a reputation and legitimate business interests that could suffer due to your continued employment of a known neo-Nazi. On the other hand, you are a steadfast supporter of free speech, and have serious doubts about allowing a Twitter account to dictate your employee’s right to assert his or her sociopolitical views off the clock, while maintaining a job.

  • Adopt a Resolution to Denounce and Oppose White Nationalist and Neo-Nazi Groups Including Their Actions
    Page 1 of 7 Cheryl Davila Councilmember District 2 CONSENT CALENDAR February 26, 2019 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Councilmembers Cheryl Davila, Ben Bartlett, Kate Harrison and Mayor Jesse Arreguin Subject: Adopt a resolution to denounce and oppose white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups including their actions. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution denouncing and opposing white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups including their actions. POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION On February 4, 2019, the Agenda and Rules Committee adopted the following action: M/S/C (Arreguin/Wengraf) to send the item to the full Council with a Positive Recommendation. Vote: All Ayes. FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION No general fund impact. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY No ecological impact. BACKGROUND According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, “white nationalist groups espouse white supremacist or white separatist ideologies, often focusing on the alleged inferiority of nonwhites. Groups listed in a variety of other categories - Ku Klux Klan, neo- Page 2 of 7 Confederate, neo-Nazi, racist skinhead, and Christian Identity - could also be fairly described as white nationalist.”1 As documented in the November 3, 2018 cover article of the New York Times Magazine, since 9/11, U.S. counter-terrorism policy has focused almost entirely on combating American and foreign-born “jihadists,” failing to recognize the growing threat of far-right extremism. This has contributed to widespread vigilante attacks on, government surveillance and repression of, and sweeping policies that discriminate against Muslim, Arab and South Asian communities. Meanwhile, it has failed to address the growing threat and presence of white nationalists and neo-Nazis across the U.S.2 As Janet Reitman’s article documents, according to the data, far-right extremists have killed more people since 9/11 than any other category of domestic terrorism.

  • A Recent History of Anarchist Struggle In
    Introduction The compilation of this history was inspired by “Fighting Collective Amnesia”, which points to how anarchists can build a stronger movement going forward by first remembering and reflecting on our history: “We are suffering from a collective amnesia around state repression and recent history …Collective amnesia is when we forget the stories, victories, mistakes, and debates of the recent past. It’s when we allow security culture to deteriorate and put ourselves and each other at risk unnecessarily. It’s when we think that the state doesn’t take us FROM ANTIGLOBE seriously and when we don’t take our work seriously. It’s when we don’t share a common understanding of where we came from as an anarchist movement. This is especially dangerous for people who are TO ANTIFA new to these movements and circles, but most of us seem to be A RECENT HISTORY OF ANARCHIST suffering from this amnesia. This puts all of us at risk of state repression and the inaction that comes with constantly starting over STRUGGLE IN NYC with the same debates and mistakes… …We can fight collective amnesia by building a collective memory. We need a collective memory to adapt our struggles, lest we end up with the “immortal science” of creating endless front groups or more _______________________________ likely, a cliquey subculture full of informal social hierarchy. We all need to remember our recent history. We all need to remember what Written by some NYC anarchists worked and what went wrong. We all need to remember the ones we’ve lost to the state.

  • NSFH-Report1-Updated8.1.19
    Volkmom, Identity Evropa/American Identity Movement, and the Safety of Our Community A Report from No Space For Hate Recently, activists in Bloomington have raised concerns about the presence of members of a white supremacist organization called "Identity Evropa" (recently rebranded as the "American Identity Movement") in the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market. This report explains why residents of Bloomington are concerned about white supremacists at the Market. It discusses ● Who "Volkmom" is ● What Identity Evropa is ● Why you should be concerned about the safety of members of our community Who is Volkmom? The community became aware that members of IE/AmIM1 were vendors in the market after activists identified an online user called "Volkmom" as Sarah Dye of Schooner Creek Farms. Volkmom came into the public eye when she was named by Nolan Brewer, a man who pleaded guilty to a federal hate crime charge for bringing homemade napalm and homemade bombs to a synagogue in Carmel, Indiana with the intent to burn it down.[i] Brewer claim he was deterred by ​ ​ the synagogue's security cameras, and instead decided to paint a swastika on one of the outer structures and then light the ground below with the homemade napalm (Figure 1). His wife Kiyomi Brewer, who was a minor at the time, pleaded guilty to the State charge of arson. The Department of Justice (DOJ) argued that Brewer had long held explicitly Nazi views: Co-workers from two different jobs where Brewer worked during 2018 will testify that Brewer wore a swastika or an iron cross on a necklace, had a swastika on the background of his cell phone, routinely spoke about his admiration for Adolf Hitler and/or 1 NSFH encourages the use of the acronym AmIM to distinguish the American Identity Movement from the American Indian Movement™.

  • New Jersey European Heritage Association (NJEHA)
    New Jersey European Heritage Association (NJEHA) Key Points New Jersey European Heritage Association (NJEHA) is a small, New Jersey- based white supremacist group. NJEHA espouses racism, anti-Semitism and intolerance under the guise of “saving” white European peoples from purported imminent extinction. NJEHA spreads their hateful propaganda online and by distributing fliers in central New Jersey. NJEHA has organized and participated in white supremacist rallies and demonstrations. Background 1 / 7 Created in early 2018, the New Jersey European Heritage Association (NJEHA) is a small white supremacist group whose members see themselves as defenders of white European people and white culture. Members hold the white supremacist worldview that unless immediate action is taken, the white race is doomed to extinction by a "rising tide of color" purportedly controlled and manipulated by Jews. According to the group’s website manifesto, members “do not see the current society as a healthy and cohesive environment suited for their children and grandchildren.” They believe that “they must wrest political, economic and social control away from the hostile elite who have usurped power in America.” By promoting their ideas to the “public mainstream” through fliering, banner drops, flash protests, and other public actions, they believe they can bypass the “controlled news and entertainment media” and establish a means of communicating with other white people. Their “creed can be summed up by fourfourfourfourteenteenteenteen simp simpsimpsimplelelele wor worworwordsdsdsds; we must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children.” Activity NJEHA spreads their hateful propaganda online and by distributing recruitment fliers in central New Jersey.

  • Clergy Voices: How Conflicts Over Racism and Sexuality in America Are Framed from the Pulpit
    Clergy Voices: How Conflicts over Racism and Sexuality in America are Framed from the Pulpit Claire Chipman Gilliland A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Lisa D. Pearce Neal Caren Paul Djupe Ted Mouw Andrew Perrin © 2021 Claire Chipman Gilliland ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT In the midst of growing inequality and persistent marginalization in the U.S., this project investigates the role of one institution, religion, in combatting or perpetuating inequality. I investigate religious rhetoric on race and homosexuality using qualitative coding methods on two samples of sermons, or the weekly messages clergy share from the pulpit. In the first paper, I analyze the responses of Charlottesville clergy to the 2017 white supremacist rally. Overall, clergy’s sermons following the Unite the Right rally demonstrate racial frameworks that downplay the relevance of structural and historical factors in shaping racial divisions today, keeping racism grounded at the individual, interpersonal, and other-worldly levels. The second sample is composed of sermons from United Methodist (UMC) congregations following their 2019 denominational vote to maintain their prohibitions of same sex marriage and the ordination of openly gay and lesbian people to the clergy. In the second paper, I investigate how UMC clergy’s responses to the UMC decision reflect prophetic concerns, such as the ongoing marginalization of LGBTQ people, and pragmatic concerns related to denominational and congregational unity.

  • Dark Hatred: Antisemitism on the Dark Web
    JCA 2019 DOI: 10.26613/jca/2.2.31 Dark Hatred: Antisemitism on the Dark Web Lev Topor Abstract Antisemitism is racism. While it is not broadly accepted in modern societies, it does exist in the margins, in places with no norms or regulations. The key purpose of this article is to develop a new conceptual research framework for the study of both antisemitism and racism. The dark web hosts a great deal of offensive and criminal activity; it also hosts racist and antisemitic activity. It is necessary, then, to search the dark web, the dank underbelly of society, for activity which is not accepted in conventional life. In order to make this conceptual research framework available to other researchers, an overview of racist antise- mitic activity on the dark web will be presented and analyzed. As concluded, governments do not take sufficient action for the eradication of dark web racism as it is hidden from society and is very difficult to regulate. In contrast to the surface web, racists, antisemites, thrive there. Keywords: Antisemitism, Racism, Dark Web, Deep Web INTRODUCTION and racism. If antisemitism will not simply Antisemitism is racism.
