Congresswoman Brown Joins Beatty, Kaptur and Delegation Colleagues In Condemning Neo-Nazi Activity in Ohio

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Shontel Brown joined members of the Ohio Congressional Delegation in a joint statement condemning Neo-Nazis who marched in Columbus, Ohio this past weekend. The statement was led by the Dean of the Delegation Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) and Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03). Congressman Greg Landsman (OH-01) and Congresswoman Emilia Sykes (OH-13) also joined the statement. 

The joint statement reads as follows:

“To our fellow Ohioans, we affirm strongly that hate has no place in our Ohio communities. Whether it is on the streets of our State Capitol in Columbus, Toledo, or anywhere else across our Buckeye State, we unequivocally condemn such acts of hatred and incitement. Civil society must always stand together no matter our race, creed, or religion to call out bigotry, and antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head,” said the Members.

“We condemn this reprehensible behavior and hatred wrought on our communities. Today we come together to denounce this behavior, and to work together to rid such hatred from our state, and our nation. Our strength rests in the far larger power of decent people seeking brotherhood and sisterhood and decrying extremism. Together there are far more of us who will call out this hatred, than those who march on the streets to spread it. Together we will shine light to cast out the darkness of hate,” concluded the Members.
