"Our supporters consist of those with a wide array of beliefs, from neo-Nazis and Klansmen to conservatives and libertarians." -Rob O'Donovan(founder)
NEWP stands for North East White Pride. They are a racist, white nationalist and neo-nazi organization that operates in the North East region of the US. Founder Robert O'Donovan, an ex-member of White Revolution, began organizing on the internet in the early 2000's. NEWP now has 300+ registered users on their forum section and has also organized protests, rallies, concerts, parties, and monthly meetings. The groups monthly meetings are often small, bringing in about 5 participants, but they frequently network with other racist/white nationalist groups in the North East to draw more sympathetic parties. NEWP, like most other racist organizations, refers to itself as a "white rights" group that focuses on issues such as immigration, education, crime, and social services. They know that these issues are popular among the right and hope to establish legitimacy and gain support from the more moderate by focusing on them. NEWP members participate in Tea Party events and see them as fertile recruiting grounds, "
We are focusing on tea party friendly topics" -
