Identity Evropa
Identity Evropa was an American identitarian organization representing people of European heritage in the United States. Founded in March of 2016, Identity Evropa's membership grew from a small handful of activists to approximately 1,000 members in one year.
The organization was founded in March 2016 by Nathan Damigo, a former Marine corporal from San Jose, California. Damigo cites France's Génération Identitaire as an inspiration for the creation of Identity Evropa.
The organization describe itself as a "'generation of awakened Europeans' who 'oppose those who defame our history and rich cultural heritage'". In an early interview with the Daily Beast, Damigo said the group's aim is "finding a way for us to have a future for our own people."
In August 2017, the chief leadership position passed onto Elliot Kline, AKA Eli Mosley. Three months later, in November 2017, Kline resigned from the organization and publicly cited "irreconcilable differences" with other leaders within Identity Evropa. Patrick Casey, a tenured activist and Director of Administration, assumed the role of Executive Director.
In 2019, Patrick Casey said that the group "has been retired" and announced the formation a new group, "American Identity Movement".
Views
The organization promotes and defers to identity above many other political considerations. Identity Evropa regularly calls for the end of immigration into the United States, and even re-migratory immigration policies. Identity Evropa opposes immigration of non-Western peoples into Western derived nations and the demographic replacement of European Americans and people of European heritage around the world, citing inevitable economic, institutional, political, and cultural change. Identity Evropa and others have referred to this demographic phenomenon as "The Great Replacement".
Patrick Casey has said he's been inspired by writers such as Guillaume Faye, Samuel P. Huntington, and Robert Putnam.
