Rapid Response Memo: Planned Far-Right Demonstration in Mansfield, PA

Description

White supremacist and neo-Nazi organizations have announced and discussed plans to hold a rally in Mansfield, Pennsylvania on August 26. The demonstration will coincide with Mansfield’s 6th Annual Community Kids Day, which will feature local businesses, civic organizations, and the town police department, amongst others. College students will also be returning to Mansfield University on August 23, notably increasing the total population and diversity of the community. The demonstration appears to have been originally planned for June, during Pride month, and was initially framed as a protest against the LGBTQ+ community.
