The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office received multiple reports of White supremacist flyers found in residents’ driveways yesterday.

“All Virginians must take a stand against the promotion of white supremacy and all other forms of bigotry that we are witnessing almost every day at the local and national levels,” said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. “Bigots succeed only when good people remain silent.”
He 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.
