  • Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center
    Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center before the Subcommittee on National Security, International Development and Monetary Policy Committee on Financial Services United States House of Representatives Dollars against Democracy: Domestic Terrorist Financing in the Aftermath of Insurrection February 25, 2021 My name is Lecia Brooks. I am chief of staff of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). 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. In the early 1990s, the SPLC launched its pioneering Teaching Tolerance program to provide educators with free, anti-bias classroom resources, such as classroom documentaries and lesson plans. Now renamed Learning For Justice, our program reaches millions of schoolchildren with award-winning curricula and other materials that promote understanding of our nation’s history and respect for others, helping educators create inclusive, equitable school environments.

  • Morality and Nationalism
    Morality and Nationalism This book takes a unique approach to explore the moral foundations of nationalism. Drawing on nationalist writings and examining almost 200 years of nationalism in Ireland and Quebec, the author develops a theory of nationalism based on its role in representation. The study of nationalism has tended towards the construction of dichotomies – arguing, for example, that there are political and cultural, or civic and ethnic, versions of the phenomenon. However, as an object of moral scrutiny this bifurcation makes nationalism difficult to work with. The author draws on primary sources to see how nationalists themselves argued for their cause and examines almost two hundred years of nationalism in two well-known cases, Ireland and Quebec. The author identifies which themes, if any, are common across the various forms that nationalism can take and then goes on to develop a theory of nationalism based on its role in representation. This representation-based approach provides a basis for the moral claim of nationalism while at the same time identifying grounds on which this claim can be evaluated and limited. It will be of strong interest to political theorists, especially those working on nationalism, multiculturalism, and minority rights. The special focus in the book on the Irish and Quebec cases also makes it relevant reading for specialists in these fields as well as for other area studies where nationalism is an issue.

All information and citations from the original report that are confidential by law or excepted from public disclosure requirements have been redacted from this unclassified version. In some cases, the original Law Enforcement Sensitive citations have been replaced with citations to public sources that serve as alternative references. UNCLASSIFIED 1 UNCLASSIFIED THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 2 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED (U) Executive Summary (U) The key analytic judgments of this assessment include: (U) Domestic terrorism poses a persistent and varied threat to the State of Texas. There are three overall types of domestic terrorism: racially motivated, anti-government, and single issue. Each type contains further subsets, creating a fair amount of variance within this threat. Texas has previous or current activity associated with each of these types of domestic terrorism. This includes the recent loss of 22 lives when a suspected domestic terrorist opened fire in an El Paso, Texas Walmart. (U) Based on the prevalence of recently conducted attacks nationwide, White Racially Motivated (WRM) is currently the most violently active domestic terrorism type. Since 2018, WRM actors were responsible for at least three major attacks in the United States (including one in Texas), and several thwarted incidents.

In 1901, when Lenin posed this now-canonical question, the answer was a communist revolution. Today, 25 years since the Internet went public, the answer has come to seem to many on the left to be a technological one. In the 1990s, it was right-wing libertarians such as John Perry Barlow who claimed to know what to do with the information system. In the future, they wrote, we would leave our bodies behind and dive headlong into a glorious pool of universal mind called Cyberspace. In the early 2000s, the builders of social media, some of whom subscribed to the tech-left ideals of open source software and copyleft reproduction rights, sold the public a new utopia. But instead INVENTING THE FUTURE: of the world of technology-enabled interpersonal intimacy they promised, social POSTCAPITALISM AND A WORLD WITHOUT WORK media have become a series of commercially sponsored stages on which to preen for Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams selfies and spin off data to be mined by states and corporations.

    LEWIS, HUGHES, SEGAL, GREER | PROGRAM ON EXTREMISM & ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE WHITE SUPREMACIST TERROR: MODERNIZING OUR APPROACH TO TODAY’S THREAT 1 | Page LEWIS, HUGHES, SEGAL, GREER | PROGRAM ON EXTREMISM & ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE About the Program on Extremism The Program on Extremism at George Washington University provides analysis on issues related to violent and non-violent extremism. The Program spearheads innovative and thoughtful academic inquiry, producing empirical work that strengthens extremism research as a distinct field of study. The Program aims to develop pragmatic policy solutions that resonate with policymakers, civic leaders, and the general public. About the Center on Extremism at the Anti-Defamation League ADL’s Center on Extremism (COE) is the agency’s research and investigative arm, and a clearinghouse of valuable, up-to-the minute information about extremism of all types— from white supremacists to Islamic extremists. For decades, COE analysts have tracked extremist activity in the U.S. and abroad, assisted law enforcement with countless investigations, and helped disrupt and prevent multiple terror attacks. Their law enforcement trainings provide officers with the information they need to protect our country—and themselves—against extremist violence.
