flag Flyers for John Brown Club, linked to violent extremism, found on Georgetown campus, prompting investigation.

Flyers promoting the John Brown Club, a left-wing group linked to anti-fascist activism and alleged violent extremism, were found on Georgetown University’s campus. The posters, featuring the slogan “Hey, Fascist! Catch!” and referencing the attempted assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, urged members to move beyond symbolic resistance and engage in direct action, directing interested individuals to a Google Form via QR code. The group, named after the 19th-century abolitionist known for violent actions, has been associated with past attacks on government facilities and advocacy for armed self-defense. Georgetown confirmed the flyers were removed and launched an investigation, stating it has zero tolerance for threats or calls to violence. The incident has sparked national concern over extremist recruitment on college campuses, with calls for further scrutiny and investigations, though the university and federal agencies have not yet responded publicly.
