Iowa City Neighborhood Leafleted with Racist Fliers

I read a news article from Little Village Magazine that reported that fliers advertising a white supremacy group called the National Alliance were found early today outside houses near Wetherby Park in Iowa City.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Alliance is a neo-Nazi organization that has spoken out for the eradication of Jewish people, as well as people of other races. They have also advocated for the creation of an all-white homeland.

Local resident shared that the NA fliers were wrapped around an unaffiliated newspaper and then protected from the wet ground within clear plastic bags.

Wetherby Park is on Taylor Drive in Iowa City. It's one of the more racially and culturally diverse areas of Iowa City, which is probably why this neighborhood was leafleted over others -- to create trouble.

The fliers were reported to the police.
