Virginia

A local NA unit is based in Richmond under the leadership of long-time white supremacist Ron Doggett. In the 1980s, Doggett was a unit leader of the White Patriot Party; he also has ties to the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP). In November 1997, Doggett arranged for David Duke to speak at the dedication of a new NAAWP chapter in Richmond. Doggett also hosts a live cable TV show, Race and Reality, on which he reportedly quotes William Pierce. The program, which airs on Richmond's public access station, allows viewers to call in to discuss or debate Doggett's white separatist views.

The NA has a phone hotline in Newport News and a post office box in Glen Allen. NA activists in Virginia have also disseminated propaganda leaflets. In May 1998, copies of Free Speech, the NA's newsletter, were distributed in Petersburg and Chesterfield County. In May 1996, numerous Jewish residents in Henrico County, including Holocaust survivors, received the NA's anti-Semitic tract, "Who Rules America?" The year before, Doggett, holding a Confederate flag, reportedly protested against Richmond's erection of a statue of the late Black tennis player Arthur Ashe.
