Act with Courage: Building an Inclusive Germantown

Germantown Community Coalition is aware of white power flyers being distributed in Germantown and throughout Washington County. We condemn these hateful acts in the strongest possible terms and reject the toxic ideology of exclusion, fear, and bigotry they attempt to spread.

This campaign of intimidation is designed to divide us, to instill fear, and to promote a false and dangerous narrative about who belongs in our community. Let us be clear: Germantown belongs to all of us. Hate has no home here.

We call on all GCC members and neighbors to rise above this ugliness by living our shared values—kindness, equity, inclusion, and respect. Let this moment strengthen our resolve to stand with those who feel threatened or marginalized, and to extend solidarity and compassion where it is most needed.

We also urge every household to talk openly about this—especially with children and young people. These conversations are essential. Teaching the next generation to recognize and reject hate is how we build a future where dignity and justice prevail over fear and prejudice.
