Attention @everyone:

Consider this a gentle reminder to refrain from engaging with dissident content, individuals, and organizations on social media accounts containing your real name.

Despite repeated warnings, I still see some of you doing this. Unless you're financially independent or self-employed, you should be pseudonymous on the internet when it comes to dissident politics.

Additionally, if you're creating content, e.g. videos, podcasts, or articles, please ask us for approval before applying IE branding to your stuff.

That is all. Enjoy what's left of your weekend!

Attention @everyone:

We currently have 172 members signed up for the conference! That's 22 more than last year, which is fantastic.

However, I think we can hit 200, which is why this week we're going to be doing a fundraiser with the goal of raising $725 to sponsor the tickets of five activists!

Anyone who donates more than $20 to this fundraiser will receive a free copy of either *Ethnopolitics* or *Race and the American Prospect.*

I'm going to give $20 (to start), and I'd like for you all to consider doing so as well. Let's hit 200!

(Make sure your donation, either PO box or Zelle, is earmarked for LOPF sponsorship.)

REMINDER: The LOPF location is only distributed on a need to know basis. This is to avoid it leaking. It will be in Appalachia. If you want the precise location, then you'll need to sign up!

Attention @everyone:

If you would like sponsorship for the conference, please reach out to @Matthias.

Attention @everyone

We have a brief, 5 question survey for you all to respond to. These are incredibly helpful and have shaped our ability to cater to you, our Members. Please fill this out tonight or tomorrow before the Fireside!

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5MLNWT5


Conference and sponsorship reminder: Registration will halt on March 1, but it's still not too late! Registration and sponsorship instructions are in your invite. <#489823000707727360>

If you are requesting sponsorship, please remember that sponsorship is designed to cover the General Registration and not lodging or travel in order to keep it fair. There are many carpools and several group options for the the latter, so don't wait to get squared away.

Thank you, and please fill out the survey! 📝

Fireside tonight at 8:30 PM EST. See you in general voice chat!

@everyone

We'll start in five minutes. Please be sure to mute your mics!

@everyone

Thanks to everyone who donated to the LOPF sponsorship fund!

If you need help getting to the conference, please message @Matthias!

Attention @everyone

I've received new questions about religious servers and our organization. In IE, religious matters are subordinate to our shared identity as Americans of European heritage. If this is news to you, please feel welcome to contact me directly.

For this reason, we have not and will not create an IE official platform for any particular religious group, and we will refrain from the promotion of any non-official platform because that would effectively be an endorsement of it.

With this said, there's nothing against the rules in creating a chat group for identitarians of shared faith which just so happens to be IE-only. However, I will personally say that I have seen some of these groups come and go not on the best of terms.

Finally, please be mindful of how you're interacting on such topics with Members on and off of our national server. It's easy for tone to be misinterpreted, for one, so let's keep it amicable and professional.

I'm pleased to say we are going to have substantially more attendees at **Leading Our People Forward 2019** than at 2018, which is phenomenal. We're still closing in on 200, and it's not too late to sign up particularly for those residing in the Appalachia area.

It's going to be an exciting time with many important subjects to discuss. I shall see you there! <:deye:359010025223618570>

Attention @everyone:

If you’re unable to come to the conference for financial reasons, you need to message me. We have sponsorship funds to distribute. Don’t miss out on an amazing weekend!

Pledges: Orientation is at 8:00 PM EST tonight. See you there!

If you’re attending CPAC this year, please shoot me a message.

Also, while I want you all to continue feeling free to contact me when you need something, please do so via email or Discord, not slack.

Additionally, we still have funds to sponsor LOPF attendance. If you want to attend but need financial aid, please message @Matthias.

Attention @everyone

By and large, you will not get doxed from our activism. Plenty of activism ideas do not require showing face either.

However, you will get doxed from reckless social media privacy and indefensible content. Please be wary of spending your time self-indulging and playing to the comrades. When you joined IE, you accepted that you were no longer a mere individual but rather joining and becoming part of a larger effort.

The military has the right mentality that any activity by one service member may impact the reputation of the entire organization and thus every past, current, and future member. This individual isn't in IE, but this article is a continued example to learn from and not ignore. Thank you!

In other news, there's only today and tomorrow left to register for our conference! We will need to have any last minute registrations in by Friday around Noon Eastern at the absolute latest. **If you sent registration via mail this week, please notify me so I know to expect it.** <:deye:359010025223618570>

Fireside tonight at 8:30 PM EST. See you there! @everyone

Fireside is starting! @everyone

45 minutes left until registration for our conference, LOPF 2019, ends! I only had one message from someone who mailed registration this week, so I'm presuming there's no one else who mailed this week I need to be aware of. Thank you! @everyone

Attention @everyone:

As some of you already know, this afternoon Unicorn Riot released leaks of our national Discord server.

While some of the leaked messages are unfortunate, they do not reflect the culture of our organization. Additionally, a number of the people responsible for such messages are no longer in the organization.

It should be noted that it’s extremely unlikely that Discord is leaking our information. Note that a number of channels were not leaked -- those inaccessible to non-moderators and non-coordinators. Discord has access to those channels, but an infiltrator does not. And I’d like to remind you that when other people started using Riot chat, Facebook chat, etc. those chats were leaked as well. If most of the leaks you’ve seen have been from Discord, well, that’s because it’s what everyone uses.

Although this means that the platform itself is largely secure, I’m afraid it’s an indication that someone infiltrated the server and used a scraping tool to collect the messages, as has been done with other servers in the past.

As of right now, there’s no evidence that said infiltrator, whom we’re currently looking for, has registered for the conference and thus knows its location. Antifa generally organizes publicly on Facebook pages, so we’ll know if and when they decide to counterprotest. This is precisely why we’ve kept the conference location a secret to non-registered attendees.

I’m sorry that this happened – and believe me, it’s the last thing leadership wants to have to deal with a few days before the conference. Infiltration is an unfortunate fact of life when engaging in dissident organizing, but we accept it as a risk when we choose to fight for our people.

I would also like to remind you that, for this very reason, we’ve advised people to refrain from posting personal information and using their real first and last name on any Discord server, including ours.

I’ll be around to address your questions, comments, and concerns – just shoot me a message.

@everyone
