If You See Something, Say Something!

This past weekend homes in the Pepper Ridge, Belltown and Springdale neighborhoods in Stamford had offensive, antisemitic and racist flyers left on their driveways by the Nationalist Social Club, or NSC-131.

This is a New England-based neo-Nazi group with chapters in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Connecticut and Vermont. Its members see themselves as soldiers at war with a hostile, supposedly Jewish-controlled system they claim is plotting the extinction of the white race. The group regularly distributes replacement theory propaganda and holds small, localized flash demonstrations. Flyer drops are often used as a recruitment tool for the organization.

Mayor Caroline Simmons convened a meeting this morning with members of the Stamford Police Department, Pubic Safety and DEI members of her administration, state representatives and leaders from faith and ethnic communities. She emphasized that Stamford has a zero tolerance policy for this sort of activity and that city unequivocally condemns this behavior.

Should you see something like this, please notify Stamford Police by calling 203-977-4444 and let them know.

Please check any security cameras to see if you have recorded the car or person distributing the flyers. This information will be very helpful to the police investigation.
