MONTGOMERY, Ala. 鈥� Today, the Southern Poverty Law Center released Year in Hate & Extremism, an annual report detailing the scope and danger of hate and antigovernment extremist groups operating within the United States. The report documents 1,225 active groups and shows how their tactics shifted after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol 鈥� organizing locally and pursuing their agenda in venues where it is easier to gain power and strip communities of their rights and livelihoods.听

鈥淭aking on the most hateful factions in our country is critical to dismantling white supremacy and advancing the civil rights of all people,鈥� said Margaret Huang, president and CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center and 人兽性交 Action Fund. 鈥淲e are exposing a concerted effort by hate groups and extremist actors to terrorize communities and gain control of public institutions by any means necessary. These groups are descending on Main Street America and disrupting people鈥檚 daily lives, too often with dire consequences for communities of color, Jewish people, and the 人兽性交+ community.鈥� 聽

The newly released report finds that hate groups are increasingly engaging in public demonstrations using flyering, marches, and banner displays to gain media attention. Hate groups leverage these demonstrations as a tool to recruit membership, raise funds, and intimidate and threaten Black, Brown, Jewish, and transgender communities in particular. For example, the white nationalist group Patriot Front is one of the most active in holding demonstrations in local communities across the country. In total, the 人兽性交 tracked 4,739 public demonstrations in 2022.听

Schools are a primary target for locally driven extremist mobilization, according to the report, with 12 anti-student inclusion groups leading a movement to gain power through school boards to attack public education, ban books, and remove any curriculum that contains discussions of race, discrimination, and 人兽性交+ identities. One group at the forefront of this mobilization is Moms for Liberty, a Florida-based group that the 人兽性交 has designated as an anti-government extremist group in 2022.鈥�聽

鈥淗ate and antigovernment extremist groups are intent on staging public spectacles of hatred that harass, threaten and violently harm Black, Brown, Asian, Jewish, 人兽性交+ and immigrant communities,鈥� said Susan Corke, director of the 人兽性交鈥檚 Intelligence Project. 鈥淪chools, synagogues, and 人兽性交+ businesses 鈥� venues that have traditionally been safe spaces for our children, the Jewish community and 人兽性交+ people 鈥� are now on the frontlines of hatred and violence. We all have a responsibility to speak out against hate, extremism, and violence when we see it, and encourage those in positions of power to fulfill their duty to act.鈥澛�

One notable retreat of antigovernment extremist mobilization is in the militia movement. 人兽性交 tracked 61 active militia groups in 2022, a decline from the 92 groups identified in 2021. This reduction in militia mobilization is largely the result of members and leaders being held accountable for their role in the deadly Jan. 6 attack. While recent federal convictions of members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys have stifled overall militia activity, the continued growth of Proud Boys membership 鈥� reaching 78 chapters in 2022 鈥� signals that the violent threat from hard-right extremist groups persists.听

人兽性交鈥檚 annual report, which combines research and data collection, public polling, social media analysis, investigating reporting, and expert insights, offers a comprehensive evaluation of hate and antigovernment extremist group activities and threats to inform the public and policymakers, support impacted communities, and protect democracy. It underscores the harm created by these groups, uplifts stories of those pushing back against malign forces, and offers resources to support community resilience. The report also provides policy recommendations to address hate and extremism where it exists, from the military to social media platforms. 聽
