Map of Alliance Activity

California

A local NA unit is active in Sacramento under the leadership of Jim Ring. Ring, who has flown a Nazi flag outside his home, has promoted the National Alliance by taking out ads in the local paper, operating a telephone hotline, distributing NA literature and selling National Alliance materials at area gun shows. Ring has also hosted monthly membership meetings and annual parties in celebration of Hitler's birthday. Bob Strawn, an NA member in Rancho Cucamonga, runs a second phone message service for the organization.

In July 1998, the greater Los Angeles area was flooded with flyers promoting the National Alliance. The flyers were discovered inside packages of taco shells, cookies, ice cream bars, soda and tuna fish bought in local grocery stores. "Our culture and racial heritage have been destroyed . . . by this tribe of hateful control freaks," the leaflets read. "Will we find the courage to chain Steven Spielberg to a pickup truck and drag him down Sunset Blvd. before we are exterminated through interracial sex and marriage?" Flyers bearing the identical message were also stuffed in mailboxes in the communities of Glendale, Flintridge, Agoura Hills, Valencia, Santa Clarita, Encino and Newhall. On July 30, two synagogues in the San Fernando Valley were vandalized with graffiti. In both instances, the National Alliance's Web site address was scrawled in red spray paint across an outside wall of the synagogue, along with the words, "Stop Murdering the White Race."
