This statement is being made collectively by the Executive Board of Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc.
We are deeply saddened to have to make this public statement but feel it’s in the best interest of the public and our Organization to do so at this time. It has been brought to our collective attention back in January 2017 that our organization was being linked to Identity Evropa a white supremacist group established in March 2016. Part of the broader alt-right movement, the group is identified as a white supremacist organization by the Anti-Defamation League.
Our Organization has a rich 75 year history of serving our veterans and military personnel and have no ties to this group, nor do we condone its message of hate. The reputation of Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. and our nonprofit status as well as our congressional charter and good name are too valuable to not make this public statement of denouncing any involvement or support of Identity Evropa or any similar organizations.
