    Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center Before the Armed Services Committee United States House of Representatives

    Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center before the Armed Services Committee United States House of Representatives Extremism in the Armed Forces March 24, 2021 My name is Lecia Brooks. I am chief of staff of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Thank you for the opportunity to present testimony on extremism in the U.S. Armed Forces and what we can do to address this challenge. Now in our 50th year, the SPLC is a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people. SPLC lawyers have worked to shut down some of the nation’s most violent white supremacist groups by winning crushing, multimillion-dollar jury verdicts on behalf of their victims. We have helped dismantle vestiges of Jim Crow, reformed juvenile justice practices, shattered barriers to equality for women, children, the LGBTQ+ community, and the disabled, and worked to protect low-wage immigrant workers from exploitation. The SPLC began tracking white supremacist activity in the 1980s, during a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and other organized extremist hate groups. Today, the SPLC is the premier U.S. nonprofit organization monitoring the activities of domestic hate groups and other extremists. Each year since 1990, we have conducted a census of hate groups operating across America, a list that is used extensively by journalists, law enforcement agencies, and scholars, among others. The SPLC Action Fund is dedicated to fighting for racial justice alongside impacted communities in pursuit of equity and opportunity for all.

But the bombing of the federal office building in Oklahoma City in April 1995—and the suspicion that an army veteran of the Persian Gulf War may be the perpetrator of that deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil—will erase forever the false notion that this threat comes from beyond our shores. Home-grown terrorists have long scarred America's landscape with guns and bombs. From our biggest metrop- olises to the heartland cities, these true believers have struck. When they surface, their acts give us a glimpse into a shadowy world of fear. Often with political aims, they target their weapons at individuals and institutions they be- lieve are conspiring against the true America and its sacred Constitution.

    The Turner Diaries; Robbed & Counterfeited, Bombed Theaters & Synagogues, Killed Radio Host Alan Berg in 1984

    American Terrorism In the 1960s, H. Rap Brown, Justice Minister of the Black Panther Party, famously said, “Violence is American as cherry pie.” (He also said, "If America don't come around, we're gonna' burn it down.” Now Jamil Al-Amin, he’s serving life in prison after killing a deputy who tried to arrest him on a traffic warrant.) Americans like to view their country as exceptional among nations; in Puritan preacher John Winthrop’s sermon (1630): “We shall be like a City upon Hill, the eyes of all people are upon us.” But, does history reveal that the U.S. actually resembles many other nations with deep social divisions – along racial, ethnic, religious, and political lines – that periodically erupt into terrorist violence? Armed Struggles on American Soil Nonuniformed groups fought on U.S. soil in the 18th and 19th centuries In the American Revolutionary War, several irregular militias attacked British soldiers from ambushes: Ethan Allan’s Green Mountain Boys of Vermont Minutemen at Concord & Lexington, Mass. The Liberty Boys of Georgia Francis Marion, South Carolina’s “Swamp Fox” In the Civil War, pro-Union Jayhawkers, Regulators, & Redlegs and pro- Confederacy Bushwackers & Border Ruffians deployed terror tactics. In 1863, Quantrell’s Raiders massacred 200 men & boys in Lawrence, KS. John Wilkes Booth assassinated Pres. Lincoln as part of a larger conspiracy. At right, the hanging execution of conspirators David Herold, Lewis Powell, George Atzerodt, and Mary Surratt. Anarchism Comes to America Some Anarchists tried to spark the Revolution by violent means In 1886, a bomb killed eight policemen at an Anarchist rally held in the Haymarket Square, Chicago.

He updated an organizational theory known as “leaderless resistance” to prepare the right-wing militants for war. His version of leaderless resistance called for a decentralized communication network that allowed right-wing activists to exchange knowledge about engaging in independent violence.

    Testimony of J. Richard Cohen President, Southern Poverty Law Center Before the Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate

    Testimony of J. Richard Cohen President, Southern Poverty Law Center before the Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate Free Speech 101: The Assault on the First Amendment on College Campuses June 20, 2017 My name is Richard Cohen. I am an attorney and the president of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a civil rights organization founded in 1971. We have studied extremist activity on campus for many years and have frequently advised college administrators and other civic leaders on how to respond to speeches, rallies, or other events held by hate groups or extremist leaders on college campuses and in other public venues. In addition, we recently started a program called SPLC on Campus in which students form campus clubs that are informally affiliated with, but not managed or controlled by, the SPLC. There are currently SPLC on Campus clubs on approximately 30 campuses, including Auburn University, the site of recent controversy over a speech by white nationalist leader Richard Spencer. I have testified before numerous congressional committees, including this one. I have served on the Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Violent Extremism Working Group and am a past recipient of the FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award. I am honored to appear before you today. I’d like to make three points this morning. First, the First Amendment is a pillar of our democracy that must be protected by institutions of higher learning. But university administrators also have obligations to provide safe environments for their students and to speak out forcefully in defense of the democratic values that define our nation.
