(WASHINGTON, D.C., 1/13/2023) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the distribution of white supremacist flyers on the campus of Rhode Island College and a high school in Providence, R.I.
Recruitment flyers for a white supremacist group were discovered near residence halls at Rhode Island College on Wednesday. Rhode Island College Campus Police are currently conducting an investigation into the matter. According to Providence police, more than 12 anti-Semitic fliers were also found at Mount Pleasant High School Sunday.

“The distribution of this hateful propaganda at educational institutions is deeply disturbing,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. “We stand in solidarity with the students, staff and community against the intimidation of hate groups.”
He noted that earlier this month, CAIR condemned the distribution of white supremacist materials in North Kingstown, R.I.
Hooper said CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
