Ban Masked White Nationalist Marches from Public Streets

To: Rep. Elfreth, Sen. Van Hollen, Sen. Alsobrooks

July 5

Ban Masked White Nationalist Marches from Public Streets Take action to stop masked white nationalist groups like Patriot Front from marching in our streets. These are not peaceful protesters exercising free speech — they are organized extremists who hide their faces specifically to intimidate communities of color and avoid accountability. Letting them parade through Washington D.C. during America's 250th anniversary celebrations wasn't just a failure of optics. It was a failure of governance. Masks exist in these marches for one reason: to enable cowardice and shield participants from consequences. If these groups believed in their cause, they wouldn't need to hide. Laws against masked intimidation exist in several states, and there is no reason federal protections shouldn't be strengthened and enforced. I want to know what you are doing to close those gaps. Support legislation that prohibits masked political intimidation marches, and push law enforcement to use every available tool to identify and prosecute participants who threaten public safety.
