Over the last week in the city of Plattsburgh, we've seen signs surface for the white supremacist group Patriot Front on utility poles and other city property. Now, the community has chosen to fight back and stop the hate.

Lt. Levi Ritter with the Plattsburgh Police says the signs are designed to represent the belief of America First. But after some online research, the lieutenant says what's hidden is the white nationalist agenda.

"It is certainly something that we want to keep abreast of and keep our eye on so that it doesn't become a problem," Ritter said.

Now, community members have rallied together to take the signs down.

"It feels good that so many of my friends and fellow community members feel the same way that I do on it because it has no place in public discourse," said Kevin Lewis of Plattsburgh.

"That's the deep roots of the city of Plattsburgh is the stop hate movement," Ritter said.

Deep roots and still growing. The "I am an Ally" club at Plattsburgh State has brought back the campaign.

"Due to the recent events with the social media posts and the circulation of the white supremacist flyers in the community, we thought that it was good for us to reach out more to the community and improve the dialogue," said Carl Fossi, a Plattsburgh State student.

They are distributing posters that say Stop Hate. They put them up on campus and now they're making their way to the streets.

"It could be a reminder as well, too, if you see something, say something. Just remember to be an ally in all situations," said Victoria Dowers, a Plattsburgh State student.

The students are asking the community and local businesses to display the sign on a community board or window.

"We're looking to know who the people of Plattsburgh are, know who we're buying from and also have the business owners know who their consumers are," Dowers said.

These students say it's so much more than a poster.

"Really it's more about showing support with the community. I hope people really understand that it's ingrained into the history of Plattsburgh and that people learn for one that we were a stop on the Underground Railroad," said Taylor Richardson, a Plattsburgh State student.
