A bevy of groups will be hosting a town hall in Bristol Borough in the wake of the discovery of flyers that appear to support white nationalism.

The gathering will be held Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Bristol Friends Meeting at 235 Market Street. The event will discuss white nationalism and the recent flyers.

According to Bristol residents who spoke with LevittownNow.com, several posters that showed a white couple with a baby and said “You Will Not Replace Us” were found at Lafayette Street and Wood Street in the diverse borough earlier this month. The posters were taken down by residents and appeared to go up overnight.

Police Chief Steve Henry said his department only heard of the posters from Langhorne-based The Peace Center. He said officers received no other reports.

The town hall is being put on by the Brothers of Israel, Bucks County Human Relations Council, Bucks County Socialists, Bucks County NAACP, Congregation Beth El, One Bucks County, The Peace Center, Welcoming The Stranger, Yardley Methodist Church and Zubaida Foundation.
