Identity Evropa is a self-styled “identitarian” white nationalist group that claims to be working towards the preservation of “white American culture” and promoting white European identity. The group helped popularize the slogan “You will not replace us,” which morphed into the “Jews will not replace us” chant during this summer’s white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The group was founded by Nathan Damigo, an Iraqi war veteran based in California, in early 2016. In August, Damigo recently stepped down from his leadership position and another “alt-right” activist named Eli Mosley is now CEO of the group.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.

—  Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
