Patriot Front In and Around the Eastern Panhandle

Members of the neo-Nazi organization Patriot Front have been spreading propagandistic stickers, wheat-pasted posters, flyers, banners, and at least one “mural” in and around the Eastern Panhandle for at least the past five years. We know this, on the one hand, because we can see it on lightposts, street signs, walls, and gas pumps in our communities, and on the other hand, because they continually post images of their handiwork online via their various Telegram channels. In particular, they have repeatedly targeted Martinsburg, Charles Town, Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown, and Winchester, VA, and they have become noticeably more active over the past year.
