However, the Anti-Defamation League said the protest was organized by the white supremacist organization Aryan Renais*sance Soci*ety:
“Dur*ing the August 21 protest, the ARS sym*bol, a light*ning bolt and a runic sym*bol, was vis*i*ble on the group’s ‘white lives mat*ter’ ban*ner and on white shirts worn by some of the dozen or so par*tic*i*pants. Their mes*sage also included a sign read*ing ‘14 words,’ a ref*er*ence to the most pop*u*lar white suprema*cist slo*gan in the world: ‘We must secure the exis*tence of our peo*ple and a future for white children.’
