In 2024, the SPLC documented 1,371 hate and antigovernment extremist groups across the United States. These groups use political, communication, violent, and online tactics to build strategies and training infrastructure to divide the country, demoralize people, and dismantle democracy.
In 2024, many groups attacked bedrock anti-discrimination by railing against “DEI.” Some actors used threats of violence and created chaos. Local communities faced militia organizing. And the fear of “white genocide” made its way into broader swaths of the movement.
The report provides a clear analysis of the groups upholding white supremacy in the United States, the new and renewed anti-democracy trends, a summary of the tactics and strategies they are utilizing, and the formulas for prevention.
