🧵 NEW: White supremacist propaganda distributions hit an all-time high last year, according to a new ADL Center on Extremism assessment. With more than 6,700 incidents, there was a 38% increase over 2021 and the highest number of incidents we’ve ever recorded.
Even more concerning – antisemitic propaganda more than doubled from 2021 to 2022. The surge was largely because of the GDL’s growth and initiation of propaganda campaigns, but the formation of several new white supremacist groups also contributed.
Propaganda was reported in every state except Hawaii, but some states were hit harder than others. Texas, Massachusetts, Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, Utah, Florida, Connecticut and Georgia had the most activity.
Hateful propaganda affects communities nationwide, allowing a relatively small number of people to have an outsized impact. That’s why we track these incidents throughout the year as part of our efforts to #StopHate. Read the assessment here: adl.org/resources/repo…
