r/Danbury

I’ve seen the video of what appears to be a white supremacist group gathered outside Danbury Police Headquarters last night.

Let me be very clear: there is no place for hate, racism, or white supremacy in Danbury.

This city is home to people who came here from across the country and around the world. People of different races, religions, cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs. That diversity is not something that divides us. It is part of who we are, and it is one of Danbury’s greatest strengths.

There will always be people who try to use fear and hate to pull communities apart.

We cannot allow them to define us. Danbury is better than that.

We will stand together, we will look out for one another, and we will never allow hate to speak for this city.

White supremacy is not welcome here. Racism is not welcome here. Hate is not welcome here.

Mayor Roberto L. Alves

Additional info: HatCityBlog located a second video that identifies the group as Northeast Action. Their stated reason for insisting on white only is Danbury allowing DACA recipients to be police officers.
